First time playing, making it fairly far, got 1 research lab, one automated factory, one soil enricher, and going for more research labs. Got fusion and atom missiles.
Seems there is only one ending. If you send a weak team, you just get the team we sent never came back, maybe they got caught by the monster. Send a strong team and you get the sad ending.
Seems like a lot of luck at first. Day 18 and have 12 survivors, that means I found 5 recruits. I only found one in my previous game scouting approx. same amount of areas. With all these people I can assign one permanently to kitchen and entrainment for +5 food and +5 happiness.
This game takes about 25 game days to get used to. First, there doesn't seem to be a save option, so if like me you realize after you send a bunch of people on a mission there is a72% risk, you are done for. Second, scavenge for supplies. Third, recruit people only when there is people available to recruit. Sounds, silly but I lost a lot of days attempting to recruit in the first few areas, not realizing it was impossible to recruit when no one was there to be able to recruit.
I've had this game running for seven and a half minutes. I don't think this is a game, but instead a movie. Not only that but I think the sound track and video repeats itself. I don't know Japanese, so I can't be sure though. 1/5. This so called game is spam in my opinion. I apologize if I misjudged and there is a fun game some where hidden here.
