  I loved Genesia/Ultimate Domain when it was first released in the early 90's, it had it's own style, both when it came to gameplay and presentation. While there was games out like Populus it still felt it was an unique game. To my great joy a new version of the game is now available, it's not a re-make but a new game, however still in the same style! It should be noted this isn't a game for everyone, it takes time, there is depth and it's not easy to master, there is no tutorial but it's more up to the player to learn and explore the game, old-school in that sense. While I have not played it at length yet it's been stable, graphics are suitable and the music familiar! Already there seems to be lot to do and I love the local hotseat option! For anyone who loves a strategic challenge and turn-based games I can really recommend it!

  If you're into games that will actually challenge you, this is for you. If you're looking for a walk in the park, keep walking. Just like the original getting a strategy down is going to take trial and error, a bit of luck, and many 'new games.' Loved the original (I still have it) and I'm looking forward to seeing more of this game as I can survive longer.

  Ran into some issues with this game. First off, it's overpriced. Roughly twice the price it should be. Secondly, and this one is tied to the first one; its way more casual than advertised. It might be old school, but it feels very much modern in it's simplicity. Game might be opening up both in complexity and difficulty as you move along, problem is staying invested past the 2-3 hour mark. I couldn't. It also suffers majorily from the fact that it rehashes old ideas without bringing anything new to the table. I can't help but feel "derivative" is the most apt description of its core problem. Being basically Civilization if made by one person; that is not Sid Meier; I can't recommend this without first mentioning last years "Predynastic Egypt" as a better option. If you are looking for more Civilization-lite games, I guess this will do, but wait for a discount.

  I'm recommending this game, but I personally am refunding it. The game is good, it's a nice little strategy puzzle game, it's very difficult which is great. The reason I am refunding however, is the developers really bizarre attitude that the terrible UI is a feature, not a problem. Take for example, logs - if left out, they degrade. To prevent this you have to put them in storage. However, when you click on the logs, you are presented with a choice of villagers, and only one action they can take - chopping the logs. You hit this, and they turn into a lumberjack automatically and chop the logs into planks. How do you store the logs instead? Well let me quote the advice from the moderators (and not corrected or contradicted by the dev): Start quote: This game is made to be HARD above all it was made in a way that you NEED to discover everything for yourself. The game is realistic, if you're struggling with the tree wood gathering (for example), then ask yourself a simple question: How a lumberjack (is that era of time) will do if he was in that situation? (sic) End quote. Yeah - the official line is that part of the difficulty of the game is learning a UI that was purposefully made to be hard. If that sounds like mana from heaven for you, then my recommendation stands - this game is genuinely good, you will have a lot of fun. If that is a turn off, then I drop my recommendation. Walk away, check back in 6 months to see if they have sorted it out. That's what I intend to do.

  I'm very happy with this reimagined version of Genesia because that's exactly what it is. It's Genesia from 1993 given enough updates to make it fresh but not too many to turn it into something else. Plus points... No egg timer. Turns last as long as you need which is crucial because.... The world is hard. Forget wishing for the enemy AI. The world itself isn't easy to thrive in. There's a lot to balance. Environment, food, water, exploration, expansion and scraping together some kind of economy by making settlers work hard and varied tasks. The pace is also much slower than the original. Expect to develop slowly and under constant threat of collapse. Combat is nice and simple too. Cons... none 😀 While I look forward to the updates post early access I'm in no hurry. This is a really good early access game.

  For those who never played the original game, I recommend to not but it. However if you played like me, the 1994 PC version or his iPad version as well, then must check this updated version and buy it. You wont regreat. This is one of the best “old school” strategy game where you learn it playing since its not easy or so intuitive at first. I spent 13h playing and after starting 5 new games I can tell you that only now I´m make good progress. The author told about starting it as many time as you want to get practice and discovery how to progress. I’m already at season 289 and suffering some misfortune due to bad decisions but this is how life goes one. The first games I never crossed the barrier of 100 seasons!! Some tips after many headaches I had! :) 1. Each season has its own particularity. For example: Autumn is the best period to chop down a tree and Spring to turn it into planks. 2. Make sure to plant flowers otherwise you may run out of log during winter and you population get ill and would die quickly. 3. Never attack a wolf. It won’t attack you unless you do it. I did in my very first game then my pop got attacked and I lost less than 50 seasons. 4. Try always to have one male and female per house, so you can keep you pop growing. Otherwise move it, as pioneer, to another house. 5. Build ASAP a Lab so you can research interesting stuffs to progress in the game. I understand people who never played and expected something more about this game. Read carefully all analysis at Steam or any other forums around web. This is not a game like Civilization series, Europa Universalis, Empire Total War, etc. Like I said before this is an old school genre of game. I applaud the author Thomas Zighem to bring back this kind of genre from 90’s to XXI century! :)

  Not like the original...dissapointing... I was so excited when I saw "Ultimate Domain." I thought this game would have that nostalgic quality...nope. It's like a completely different game. Wasted $20.00....

  This game is way too expensive for what it is. I didn't like the mix of hand drawn and real photos, it looked really cheap. Halfway through playing my villagers switched portraits. The game was way too easy too, really not hard to master. If you are looking for an old school game stay away from this, it's basically a cheap tablet game.
