An extremely deep Soviet-themed city builder and logistics sim, with a steep learning curve and a clunky UI. Skip it if you want a polished, easy, Cities Skylines-style game.
Great for
Fans of Factorio, OpenTTD and deep logistics sims who enjoy learning through failure
Main risk
Steep learning curve, weak tutorials and a clunky UI can make it feel like fighting the game
