Is Astro Colony worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy building automated production networks in space
- Exploration fans interested in procedurally generated planets and varied biomes
- Players looking for cooperative colony-building gameplay
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly scripted space adventure may find the open-ended colony and exploration structure unsuitable.
- Players looking for a simple building game may hit a wall when astronaut needs, transport systems, and technology research overlap.
- Players seeking a combat-focused space game may find the emphasis on exploration, production, and colony development mismatched.
Our take on Astro Colony
Players who prefer straightforward construction may hit a wall when station docking, transport systems, astronaut needs, and technology research all become part of colony development.
What is Astro Colony?
Astro Colony combines space exploration with colony automation in a procedurally generated universe of destructible voxel planets.
Players can build stations, move and dock them, and create a network of colonies. Conveyor belts and pipes are used to construct transport systems and automate production. Astronauts can be recruited, with food and shelter among their needs. Research covers more than 70 technologies for colony development. The game includes varied biomes, hundreds of plants, unexpected events, and danger during exploration. Co-op play is available with friends, and players can also join hosted lobbies.
