Our take on My Colony
Its defining structure is the transition from one small settlement to a broader player-linked region, where colonies can cooperate, compete, separate from parent cities, and build federations.
What is My Colony?
My Colony is a sci-fi city-building and space empire simulation.
Players begin with a lander and rover, collect resources, construct facilities and utilities, and progress through a large technology tree. Four factions offer different research paths, units, and economic styles. The game supports a single-city sandbox or connected regions containing multiple player-run cities. Players can cooperate or compete, separate from a parent colony, collect taxes from other players, and form federations. Population, GDP, education, and security are among the colony measures to manage. Daily online challenges and a player-operated auction house add competitive and trading activities. The game works offline and online, with progress synchronization through an Ape Apps Account.
