Endzone – A World Apart

this game is both good and bad. from mid to late game it flat lines almost completely with nothing left to do and effectively has a soft ending. The resource management is god awful late game, you will slowly but surely reach a plateau of all production that simply will never keep up to the population nad as soon as this takes place everyone either leaves dies or just stops working just because you are low on either food water or materials. i give this game a very neutral rating neither good or bad just stuck somewhere in between and the dlc really don't add anything worth paying for. I wont recommend this game at full price and only at a discount.

Good city builder with a grunge/post-apocalyptic theme... a Fallout city builder if you like. Good game, rock-solid & sensible... as in no ridiculously silly dynamics, plus relevant tiering, your old stuff & resources are are still relevant end game.

I recommend the add-ons, as they add a lot of replayibility & depth to the game, but the game is also fine without them.

This game doesn't deserve mixed reviews its a fine survival city building game. I thoroughly enjoy games like this and you can play on a variety of difficulties including chillax ezmode (I assume) although I prefer harder difficulties because I like to see what happens and how fast. So far all the mixed reviews sound like skill issues and one guy hating on them for doing a kick starter for the second game which isn't uncommon or unethical for game devs to do.
It's a great game I got it on massive discount and I plan on getting Endzone 2 after I plug a couple hundred hours into this. I played the Endzone 2 demo as well and it seems legit.
Great series well done.

After playing for almost 15hrs, this game isn't too bad as they say.
The mechanics are similar to Frostpunk survival-based city building game yet it has different setting, different approach, different features and has a decent game difficullty.
This game is so chill.

Played enough to see the flaws. Better memorize where your buildings are and what they are. People just show up, even when you dont want any. If the premise si you stayed under ground before finally returning, where did they all come from?
You are basically building non stop, resources being abundant but being used before you need to build another building to gather. Pointless builds and the need to research how to build things or have tell your people not to loiter is a bit weak,
Only paif $5.00, so it was worth buy, but only reason it gets a thumbs up. Better games out there, better balanced, better period.

As someone who played a lot of city builders, from Anno series (yes, resource management in a nutshell but you're still building stuff) to Simcity (easiest one I could think of) I can confidently say that Endzone falls right in between of complexity and fun for someone who likes these kind of games.
Endzone - world apart has unique charm to the game, it starts simple and slow but as you phase through out the game there are more things that you need to pay attention to, especially food/water rations, for a season your stock is full then drought comes along and you go from 500 population to 200 because you ran out of water. Quicksaves are neat way to reverse but usually not enough to mitigate disaster, so its not as easy as it may look, but then again its not Frostpunk or They are Billions level of disaster when if things go wrong, and you spend 2-3-5h on a single session and then it all goes down the drain because you were not ready. So it has perfect blend of difficulty and reward for when things do go right.
Challenge series are also fun, DLCs are nice to have but not necessary (not worth full price tho!!), reaching the endgame goal feels a bit blunt but the journey towards it is what makes it a wroth while.
People reviewing it recently are saying its hard and messy disliking UI but game actually do look nice, with plenty of details both up close and zoomed out. Unlike other similar games like Surviving the Aftermath/Mars and Banished, Endzone has it all, open map, no limit or borders for buildable space (unlike its successor) lovely music and cosy feeling of what would it feel like starting from ruins of apocalypse. 9.5/10

Great game, engaging but I would like to see more, bigger maps, some mountains, tunnels, or even option to explore other regions and set settlements there. Another though, underground structures...?
Also being able to build walls would be nice, but I may be used to that playing various games of this type. Anyway good job team, hope EZ2 will be even better :)
