Leave a Review TerraGenesis
Game constantly crashes.
Frustrating and constant crashing spoils what would be an otherwise decent game. It has just crashed three times in less than a minute needing a restart every time. I know it’s in Beta so hopefully things will improve but for me, at the moment at least, the game is unplayable. After each crash the game rewinds and progress is lost. When it does work it is very addictive and draws you into the intricate planning needed to keep your settlement healthy and active. Love the dark and foreboding atmosphere. Hope you can get the bugs and crashes fixed because I am a fan of the game and if it weren’t for the issues it would have been a 5 star review.Show lessscabdip
They stopped me playing, literally just killed my game.
This last update has killed everyone on all my maps. This is ridiculous. Just delete my account and block me from playing it if that’s what your aim is, because I can’t play a game that updates itself and then all of a sudden starts losing all the power, all the oxygen, all the water, all the food and I just sit there unable to do anything with it whilst it falls off a cliff. Thank god I didn’t spend any money on this. It’s a shame I can’t use the words to describe this game and the tools that develop it. Literally couldn’t have done it any worse. Even if the game crashed it’d save where it was up to. Weeks of my life wasted on this thank you very much.Show lessSamb0Ramb0
Fun, events are fine, buggy
Have some bug issues. The game slows down when I try to add more buildings. It’s credits didn’t increase while I was away. Had a rover explore but when I came back it hadn’t moved. Building said they were requiring a resource while there was a building for it next to it. The rocket timer was stuck and didn’t decrease in time Tried to open a ticket but it requires a user Id, and the game used Id wasn’t autofilled. The one on screen was 16 characters long. The game is fun and good. The events aren’t a problem once you get your city running and have backups. But the bugs and game delays are an issueShow lessDudeKickIt
Fun for a short time.
Initially you will have a lot of fun in this game starting to build a new city on Mars, watching the rockets land/launch and unlocking new buildings. Then you will complete the first mission and move onto building a second city. This is when it goes from fun to just angry determination. The relentless barrage of calamities that lead to many, many people dying, as well as constantly having people steal your supplies and the life support systems always failing and having to use all your credits (that build extremely slowly, I might add) to fix the problems, is enough to drive a sane person mad. This shouldn’t be called a survival game, it should be called a rage quit game. Don’t waste any money on this game. Officially deleted this game this afternoon.Show lessSMC1
Buggy with annoying random events
While the gameplay is engaging, there are several annoying things about the app that makes it ultimately unplayable. In the game, you can earn credits by watching ads. Unfortunately, the bugs with the ads kick you out of the game and you lose that last 3 to 4 minutes of actions you did before you started to watch the ads.
However, that’s not the thing that makes this game unplayable. The random events are. You can be in the middle of upgrading a building, assigning a worker or deciding what to research next when a random event window interrupts what you’re doing. So you either have to deal with the random event immediately and lose track of what you were doing when it popped up or ignore it and then figure out what needs to be fixed later.
Most random events are just annoying, like losing some progress on your research or some supplies. However, there are some that will make you lose the game (unless you pay for an in-app purchase to deal with it). I was hit with an event that killed six scientists and damaged multiple solar panels and oxygen generators at the same time. As a result, I couldn’t generate oxygen, water or food and had only two minutes to fix it. Since it takes at least five minutes to get a ship with more people from earth to mars, I lost. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.Show lessFailed Martian
Really great game
Really good game. It does have a few minor problems with running out of copper ore and not being able to get more but that’s my fault for not being smart enough to build a copper mine. I think from here the game can only get better it just needs supportaidenlenpal
It's okay until you finish Mars
I finished all 3 of the campaigns on Mars and expected to be able to unlock the moon or mercury next. Nope; you have to pay $5 per additional world that you want to play on. It would be different if you could use gp to buy them, because you can at least watch ads to get gp and I never used gp much.
But honestly, once you've experienced the game in Mars, you've experienced the game in its entirety. The additional worlds you could unlock only change maybe one thing and add one additional building exclusive to that world.
You have the option to reset your settlement, and attempt to rebuild it much more organized than when you first started. Or you can just continue to needlessly expand the settlement you already have. You can also just buy up to 5 rockets and upgrade them all to level 10. But there's ultimately nothing you can do once the game is beat, which is extremely unfortunate. Plus there's no sense of real grand progression outside of the 3rd scenario, "sword of Mars".
At least in the original Terragenesis it was extremely fun to watch the worlds you control change and transform with the changes you made in buildings and research. I still play the original game after 3 years because I love it that much. But this game only had my attention for 2 weeks. Not bad for a free game but definitely not something that will actually awe you like the original.Show lessbigfatnutsak
Excellent game. Long time fan.
This game is amazing, and has very little in the way of issues in my personal opinion. I would increase the size of hab units by three and add a way to create water so you’re not relying on finite ice sources you need to scan for and have a chance of failure as the rocket and many of the buildings end up consuming a tremendous amount of water. That’s literally all I would change though. The game is a gem, albeit an uncut one, and I can’t wait to see what others facets we may see in the future.Show lessSylverHeart
Want to love it
I really wanted to love this game, but it's not even enjoyable after the first few hours. As pretty much everyone else pointed out, scales tip against you way too fast because of all of the disruptions that kill your people faster than you can try to remedy the issue. Game tries to push you waaaay too fast into creating new settlements before you even get a full grasp on your first settlement. And like with most of these styles games, theyre pushing you towards making in app purchases which are at exorbitant costs that should not be allowed for what the game really is.
Dev,
You have a good game here, but you're trying too hard to monetize. Bet more people would play and even be willing to pay if you reconsidered the gameplay dynamics. Bet you're already making plenty off ads, let the people enjoy your game. It will speak for itself.Show lessSuperbro42
Great game, shame about constant crashing
Love this game, unlike some I got through the tutorial and got to setting up a second base, except now every time I start something, building or sending out a rover it crashes and everything resets so I have to do all the research, building and rover sending all over again. Very frustrating as it’s a real challenging game and I have searched for a game like this for ages.Show lessExpansionless
