![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Almost everything in Slipways is procedurally generated and each sector of the galaxy offers wildly different challenges. ONE MORE GAME?When a single run takes no more than an hour, what you need is replayability. The path you choose will profoundly change your experience and the way you look at the game's planets and resources. The selection varies each run, so you'll have to plan carefully and adapt to the situation at hand. Instead of making a single building 20% more efficient, technologies in Slipways let you move planets at will, harness stars for energy or colonize planets with sentient machines instead of people. TECH IT UP A NOTCHThere are no boring technologies here. A single run takes 40-60 minutes and they are all filled with the good stuff. You'll waste none of your precious time on busywork. Your planets govern themselves while you focus on making the right decisions to get them what they need. In Slipways, every action you take has immediate consequences, and every choice you make is of paramount importance. FASTER THAN LIGHTForget about tedious micromanagement and waiting for ships to be built. No need for war with so much empty universe to claim. It's all about exploring space and its endless opportunities, shaping it to your whim and developing it to its full potential. The game is more relaxed than your typical grand strategy. ![]() There is no military aspect to pull your focus away from the economy. Make long-term plans and bask in your own glory when that one last connection makes six planets upgrade at the same time and gives you the income you desperately need. Line everything up just right and watch your colonies evolve and grow, giving you even more options for profitable trade. MAKE TRADE, NOT WARColonize planets, carefully pick industries and hook everything up so that your planets support each other. The result is a unique blend of the strategy and puzzle genres in which you can finish a run quickly, but still have a deep experience full of tough decisions. If you're already convinced, you can pick it up from Steam now for £14/€15.Acerca de este juego Slipways takes the space grand strategy genre and condenses the best parts of it down by throwing away all the micromanagement and the steep learning curve. We'll have a review along of Slipways in due course (written by someone other than me, so who knows what they'll think). Slipways began life as a PICO-8 prototype ( still playable now), and the leap from simple pixel art to its gorgeous 3D and uber-polished UI is remarkable. But it retains a simplicity that allows you to focus on important decisions and finish a game or two in a lunch break. The trick is to lay out your network efficiently, since routes between planets can't overlap initially, and unhappy populations will eventually end your reign as galactic leader.Īround that core lies other systems, including science research, a council of aliens to satisfy, and more that elevate it from simple puzzle to rich strategy game. By linking planets together via warp gates, you transport goods around, and must link up your planets in such a way that their populations remain happy. Each planet wants a resource and produces a resource. At its core is an idea so simple that it's almost a puzzle game. ![]()
