"Astro Colony" is a base construction game with the theme of space exploration and interstellar pioneering. There are many such games on Steam, and they have already become a popular game category among players. Compared with similar games, the biggest feature of "Astro Colony" is its first-person operating perspective.
Classic space base construction gameplay
In the game "Astro Colony", the protagonist played by the player will be responsible for exploring the vast outer space, developing technology step by step, collecting resources, and building and growing his own interstellar colony. At the beginning of the game, the player follows a team into space and is guided by an intelligent robot assistant to become familiar with the basic operations of collecting resources, processing resources, making tools, and building facilities. After various facilities are properly arranged and perform their respective duties, they can form a system that can automate production. Our space base relies on this automated operation system to continue to develop. This will be a long construction process.
The immersive first-person operation perspective
is different from the overhead perspective operation of many space base construction games. Players of "Astro Colony" experience it from the first-person perspective. Especially in the early stages of the game, we need to personally use tools to mine meteorites to obtain resources. The first-person operation is very immersive and gives an immersive feeling. Including when building facilities, we can feel up close the feeling of building our own base from scratch. At this time, we are not only the commanders of building the base, but also the witnesses. This feeling is the most intuitive feeling brought by the first-person operation.
User-friendly and rich game content
"Astro Colony" is relatively user-friendly. At the beginning of the game, there will be an intelligent robot telling us what to do next. In the early stage, we only need to follow the tasks assigned by the robot to master the basic operation methods and ideas for building a base. Generally speaking, we need to first go to places containing mineral resources, such as meteorites to mine, obtain the most basic resources such as iron, copper, coal, ice, etc., and then process them into basic props for building facilities, or use them as energy supply raw materials (for example, coal is used for power generation, ice is a raw material for making oxygen), and then gradually unlock the recipes for making advanced props and facilities, gradually build facilities, develop production, and maintain supplies for basic life. Of course, the placement and connection of these facilities require us to arrange them reasonably so that they can work together more efficiently. This is especially important after automation. This process requires careful arrangement. After the base is established in scale, we can focus on exploring the wider space. There is a lot of playable content.
Conclusion
The game "Astro Colony" is still in the EA (early access) stage of the Steam platform, but the playability of the game is already very good. Players who like space simulation construction gameplay can pay attention to the subsequent updates of this game.
