It seems like planet management games are the FPS of the 2014s. Because honestly, i have seen so many planet management games, that i have forgotten most of their names.
But every now and then, i see a game that really sticks out from the crowd.
Like Crytivo Games “The Universim” for example. It´s said to take the planet management to the next level. And you know what? It might just do that. At least that´s what i thought when i watched some videos about The Universim.
Because it seems like Crytivo Games have tried really hard to think outside the box. And actually offer something new and exciting for the players to enjoy. And that´s probarly why The Universim collected over $387,000 in total via Kickstarter (the game was fully funded in May this year).
I also just found out that The Universim has recived thumbs up on Steam Greenlight as well. So if you like the thought of planet management 2.0, then you should keep your eyes on The Universim!
About The Universim:
Leave the farms and cities behind, jump straight into managing your own planets in The Universim, a brand new god-game in development by Crytivo Games and Alexander Koshelkov. The Universim is first and foremost a planet management game.
The game begins in the stone age, thousands of years before the modern era. Research plays a crucial role in the game. Players will initially need to reinvent fire in order to survive attacks from wild animals or create cures for deadly viruses and other ailments.
We’re developing planets that will have air, weather effects and varying temperatures and natural resources along with deadly natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, freak storms and meteors. In The Universim you play as a god, you will not interact directly with the population that inhabits your planet, however you will be able to help them. You will have the power to stop wars between cities on your planet or you can ignore them and allow one city to destroy the other.
