TerraScape

This seems almost like an evolution of Dorfromantik, Civilisation, any any deck builder game... It is AWESOME. One thing to note though is that the description doesn't seem to depict the game well imo, was going in thinking it was a community builder style thing but it is heavily puzzle and deck related. - Things I love - - The deck mechanics give it a great challenge - Progression trees - Weekly challenges - Merging to evolve buildings - Strategic, rogueish lite/like puzzle??? - Graphics, it looks beautiful - multiplayer - Things that could improve - - The description/ insights of the game - more merging/ complexity/ further development of already developed buildings. - I had to go to the menu and reset the tutorial to actually get any tutorial at all, might have just been me though, but was quite confused to begin with before i found the option to get the tutorial in the first place - Maybe random match ups for competitive co-op? I enjoyed the multiplayer aspect a lot, but it would be fun to be able to play with anyone, rather than joining a lobby manually.

Addicting game. Hope there is more to come (Tropical region and Cold region with own mechanics)

TerraScape is a lovely tile placement/settlement building game, though after beating every scenario in it, every challenge map, I have to say - it is more a puzzle game than a builder. In my humble opinion, it is not a bad thing. I had quite a lot of fun figuring out and solving each island, I especially enjoyed the ones where you have limited tiles and buildings, and it is up to you to decide how to achieve a score goal for the level. Retrying, learning how each building (merged or normal) affects one another is key - it is a fun, learning experience that requires you to think a bit. An easy recommend.

This is an absolute gem of a game. It offers puzzling combined with city building elements. You have different decks and different ways to approach the game. Each deck has unique interactions with others and therefore require some tactical and strategic placement. The game has loads of QoL aspects, making planning easier and therefore solving the puzzle better. It has some nice mechanics (merging building to bigger complexes) and offers a lot of replayability. It has sandbox, scenarios and puzzle terras, so enough playtime for the amount of money spent. Lastly, it looks great and has nice music.

One of the best puzzle-builders ever! Easy mechanics allow focus on problem-solving!

To be 100% honest, I bought this game by accident because I got it confused with Terra Nil, but it actually turned out to be really fun and I am glad to own it. Definitely recommend if you like city builders and puzzle games.

Great game. Good replayability. Very challenging. Sort of a roguelike terrain builder with some simcity like elements.

Awesome little puzzle game. Relaxing in the sense of having no pressure from things like settler resource requirements or external dangers, challenging in the spatial planning and working with the cards you have to avoid stepping on yourself later.

A fantastic Islanders-like with satisfying mechanics. Play a co-op game figuring out the different types of buildings and then switch over to the versus mode where you can say "get swamped idiot" and completely ruin your friends' plans.

When starting, it seems like simple placing and clicking, wondering why place something where. But then, after an hour or two, things start to come together. The puzzles are really helpful for that, that is, when you go for the gold standard. And you should. Love it. Now I need some time.

This game really clicks once you get the hang of utilising merged buildings. Best execution I've seen of the puzzle-citybuilder genre so far.

This is such a cool game - I love using the smaller buildings to make bigger, merged buildings. It was still a bit buggy when I bought it as early access, but they've done some great work on it. I now find it a bit heavy-going for my computer, but very much the fault of the computer not the game. I've had hundreds of hours of joy out of this game, and it's the first thing I'd buy if my laptop was not so weak.

Pros : Gorgeous art, and updates are making it better. Relaxing, but can be challenging if you want to minmax and strategize for numbers. Balance updates are making the minmax aspect better. Good music Cons: Quite slow for how "small" the quantity of game content being loaded is. Patches have made this a bit better. Not great in terms of empire roleplay: there is no penalty for building far away from keep, little connection between different biomes you are building. Some changes have made this aspect a bit better. Overall a great buy, and a lot of fun time. Especially recommended for fan of turn-based, base building genre

Great game, gets pretty regular interesting updates, easily worth the full price

Awesome game, perfect to chill and still do a bit of strategy, just the cards drawing odds are a bit weird sometimes

As a Carcassonne, Dominion, and Civ enjoyer, I found myself enthralled in the strategy that this game provides. The presentation as far as UI is concerned is really nice for this genre, but there are performance issues (at the time I'm writing this) when you play larger maps with water and fish. Something about either the way the game renders these things or a slight memory leak from leaving the game running for hours takes a dip on the QOL. Additionally, I'm not totally sure why, but when loading saves, Terrascape will stutter for a third of a second before loading the next save in sequence, and it will do this for ALL of your saves in the list, rendering you in-actionable until they've all loaded. For those reasons this strikes me way more as an early access game, with basic concepts but deep fulfillment on their execution. I'm really interested to see where the game will go in the future, and overall recommend picking this up for full price if you're like me - and if you're not, grab it while it's on sale, you won't regret it.

Two friends and I played this game in coop multiplayer. Can't recommend it, here's why: - For one of us, the game kept crashing after a couple of minutes of playing, on an otherwise rock-solid computer. - After one such crash, we reloaded the savegame and re-joined the session. Right after joining, the game flagged one of my friends as cheater. Huh? - The game decided - seemingly at random - who's turn it was. We had instances of turns going A->B->A, skipping player C. No fun for you, buddy? - The game sometimes abruptly ended our turns without any indication as to why. For example when it was my turn, I wanted to place a building (clicked its card, hovered over potential building spots, got shown in green that I could place it there), but suddenly it was the next player's turn before I could do anything. Why? Was I too slow? Did the next player somehow "steal" my turn? Was it a glitch? If this was a game rule, the game failed to indicate anything in that direction. Very frustrating experience. - The GPU fans spun up to max speed for all of us. I've played games with way more impressive graphics while my GPU ran silent. Something is terribly wrong with this game's optimization. [Edit] - Another thing that kept happening was that the card drawing UI popped up on its own, blocking my view partially. In these instances, I did not click the "draw cards" button in the lower right, I even dismissed the popup with the little down arrow. This was annoying. In short, this feels like a beta or early access version where core game mechanics still need to be ironed out. Until they are, look elsewhere. Not recommended.

Fun little game. Nice and relaxing.

Incredibly satisfying puzzles. When you start pulling off big combos, you feel like a genius.

Very chill and yet very addictive.

Nice little puzzle game.
