Could use improvements of course, but run smoothly enough with their lower levels of required power.

Graphics: Simple and basic overall, but not terrible in their concept and design. Concept: Build your settlement from the ground up, survive the harsh winters and outbreaks of disease that will inevitably attack it, and attempt to make your way in a simple, deadly world. The graphics aren't too poorly rendered, the story is relatively slim in content, and the sound effects are mundane at best, but the experience is certainly worthwhile and intuitive for those who enjoy the sort of planning required in staking your claim and defending it in a simulated landscape. The most crushing and interesting aspect of the war is that you could be winning it all the way until the moment you're suddenly left crippled and defenseless, as your last settler succumbs to old age, disease, or some other unparalleled consequence in the world. Surviving famines, winters, and plague outbreaks are the steps you will have to take in waging your personal war of survival. There is only the ongoing battle against nature and her cruel, cold embrace.

There are no wars or deadly encounters with other civilizations here.
