Frostpunk Trailer and release Date 4/24

[Bullit]

I have been a fan of 11 Bit for years and love this studio. Played a demo of this and can't wait for the full game.

Is there a demo of this on Steam?

I don't believe so. I was part of the BETA crowd and have been playing different builds for a while.

Impressions so far?

Is this more like Sim City in a Steampunk Universe, or more like Rimworld where you control the colony survivors while also building up a town.

I'd say sim city although you do assign workers to specific jobs you dont directly control your people.

Pretty cool so far. My first play through didn't last very long and I was banished, sent to the cold frontier by my people. Just as we were getting things going to! Well hopefully the next go around will be better.

Really solid reviews overall.

I read somewhere though that a play through only lasts about a month and a half of in-game time. Is that true? That's awfully short for a city builder.

Because it's really a survival game that you also build a city in.

Yeah, but you're only surviving for less than 2 months. Seems like it would lead to some awfully short play throughs.

But if the game is good, it don't matter how long or short it is, especially when the game is only $29.99

Depends on the replay value.

From what I've seen, a single run will take ~6 hours which on it's own is abysmally short, even at $30. If it's worth playing through numerous times and getting a different experience then that's a lot better, though still a bit disappointing to not be able to run the city for a longer period of time. I haven't seen either way if that's the case yet though.

Steam reviews say there isn't much replay value there. I still may grab it at some point. I decided to forego this and went with BattleTech.

The developers said in a Q & A that they will be adding more modes and scenarios along with an endless sandbox mode.

I was just coming to say this. If you all have ever played This War of Mine, you will know these Devs have no problem supporting their games. They always had a sandbox mode and other scenarios in the works. So replay-ability wont be a problem down the road.

Been playing this game a lot this week. It hits that perfect balance between managing what your people doing and not micro managing every little detail. Be lost for hours in this game, time just flies by. They bringing it to consoles this summer.
