## What is TerraNova?

TERRA NOVA : Strategy of Survival

* The action begins in 2050, when humanity by their ignorance destroyed the Earth. The colony you are about to develop is the only salvation for you and the people who have followed you, as well as those who will join you along the way.

* The hostile environment as well as the interactions with other groups of people make the experience unique.

* You will need to research and build the infrastructure and buildings for the colony and make sure that they all have the resources they need to live and thrive.

* Discover the big map around the colony and send research teams in missions to find a way for a better life.

* Make wise decisions when your colonists ask for your opinion or ask for your help because the welfare and the future of the colony will depend on you.

* Some people will join the colony but other groups will attack it. And not just people ... you will find out about this in the long run.

*Decide if you want to get in touch with people who pass by, accept or not those who want to join, trust others or not, fight if necessary, trade with other groups and most importantly, keep them all alive!

* ... and many more you will see in the game.

### 3/5 — Great game but

*2026-03-08, version 1.3.7*

Some newly constructed buildings have been disappearing. Needs a fix.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-03-07, version 1.3.7*

Yet, despite having researched it, I am unable to build any more water pumps.

Edit: It has its quirks, but it is a good game. Wish there was more detail with the colonists, though, but, otherwise, it scratches the colony management itch

### 4/5 — It’s a good game but…

*2025-06-24, version 1.3.7*

If you could enhance the quality and graphics of the game also expanding the story and putting more development schematics when progressing through the game. I think it would improve the game a lot better.

### 1/5 — My experience.

*2025-04-05, version 1.3.7*

At first I could watch adds to get the energy I needed in the game but after a couple of days the adds were less and less available now by my 4th day I can only seem to watch 1 add/day for a total of 3 energy and the game does give a tiny bit of energy each day but with both of these combined it’s not nearly enough to even sustain the people. I did spend 5.00 on a pack of 300 energy and very soon after I noticed everything started to cost more or required higher level materials. Even simple things like turning on the water generator suddenly required much more. Also my people began gathering way less materials. My scrap metal collecting went from around 20 or more per day to 3-6 per day even after I added more workers on it & there were still plenty of places to get metal.  Also every time it got to 5 or 6 pieces suddenly it went back down to 1 or 2 pieces. I had no one making tools so that should not have been the reason for this. Now my people can’t bring in anywhere near enough material for basic things like water or to repair any buildings. It sure feels like as soon as I spent money the game began trying to pressure me into spending more & more. But this has the opposite effect on me. It makes me not want to waste anymore money on this game because I know it will only push for more. I’ve had no luck with customer support either. I began building a Timber Mill, as it was building I saved the game and logged out. Next time I got on there was no Timber Mill but all of the energy and material I paid to build it was still gone. I emailed the developer and never got a response. 
Even though the game is super slow I did kinda like it. So I will play for now but will not purchase more energy. My people will either gather enough to go on or they will die and I will find a different game.

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра

*2025-02-24, version 1.3.7*

Мне понравилась

### 5/5 — Harika

*2024-01-21, version 1.3.7*

Harika

### 3/5 — Great but bad glitches

*2023-11-03, version 1.3.7*

Would have loved to give more stars but I’m probably not going to play this anymore. Started out great!
Good gameplay, interesting. Challenging. But every time I log in now, my water resource crash down to almost zero (when I load the game they’re in the hundreds). Same with food. The other day my energy went from 53 to 2. And for some reason, no matter what I build, it doesn’t stick. My resources are used, but I can’t use the building. If I can’t keep my colonists housed, feed them, water them, and keep all the energy I gathered from watching ads, then what’s the point in the game? I don’t want to have to keep the game open for eternity just to see my progress saved.

### 5/5 — バグが…

*2023-11-03, version 1.3.7*

すごく面白いのに、住民70人を過ぎてから家を建てても消えるようになって進めなくなっちゃった…

### 4/5 — Tiếng việt

*2023-10-25, version 1.3.7*

Hãy cho thêm ngôn ngữ tiếng việt

### 5/5 — Perfect for adults and relaxing game

*2023-10-14, version 1.3.7*

I have really enjoyed this game in my free times . Easy to understand and very good way to teach people how society works
