Very engaging strategy game in post-apocalyptic setting.

Frostpunk is probably the closest game I can think of that relates to Endzone, no surprise that I liked both titles a lot. Economy aspects seem perfectly balanced offering some breathing room while at the same time punishing for bad decisions and awarding for the good ones. Variety of scenarios to finish offer different challenges, I liked how in most of them we start with clear setting, since naturally you're almost doomed to make some bad decisions early on, before you learn deeper how core game mechanics work.

I've spent over 70 hours in this title, liked it so much that I bought the two main DLCs as well, no regrets in this regard either. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to strategy/management games fans like me, grabbing it in Humble Choice was a real steal. Looking forward to Endzone 2 when it goes out of EA.

If you liked my review, you can find more of them on my profile and on my curator page.

All the buildings look the same. It's so annoying when you are trying to find a certain one. I can't even complete the The tutorial. Because I have nobody to find scrap. It's super annoying to keep having to move a circle to get scrap or lumber. People should just go out and look for it.

Ok, the game is decent, and I've played a fair bit of it. If I got it on sale (I don't recall), I probably would have gotten my money's worth out of it.

... But there are better city builder games out there.

As other reviews have said, the buildings kinda look similar to the point it's hard to find things, but the biggest complaint for me is the User Interface. It's just not designed in an intuitive way. There isn't a way to see how many free housing slots there are, for example, so the only way you see you need to build more housing is when people are homeless. There are missions available, but you cannot start any, and there is no indication as to why you cannot start them. Until you can, later for some reason? Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's the crummy UI, maybe it's a skill issue. There is no way to tell that I have found.

The setting of the game is fun, but I'd suggest Frostpunk or any other city builder, just because of the UI.
