    Ecolibrium is deep and well designed but won't appeal a wide range of players. It's however a solid entry in the ever-growing compendium of PlayStation Vita's free games.

    Ecolibrium is a simulator of ecosystem that deserves a chance. It is free and has a gameplay adequately articulated. Fans of the genre might find it slightly limited, but it is capable of giving fun.

    Ecolibrium provides bite-size play that needs to be periodically checked up upon rather than taken in hour-long chunks. It's good fun, but unless you're packing a 3G PS Vita, it's not the best title for when you're out and about on the road.

    It's hard to recommend a game like Ecolibrium to anyone but the most bored.

  1. This game really surprised me! it have many many hours to enjoy, I love create your world and trying to make it grow. Really recomendable! and it's free!! Expand
  2. This is a very pretty engaging sim type game. I found that it was very possible to play the game effectively without requiring to spend real money on extras. Biggest draw back was it's constant desire to go online, and long delays when there was no connections available. Definitely many an hour enjoyed on this free to download game. Expand
  3. Ecolibrium is a simple game which is too awkward to play for me to recommend it to the wider audience. It's capable of becoming addictive, but is not fun enough to buy any of the extra content it begs you to pay for. A ok free game. Expand

    This game gave me a decent first impression as the sort of ongoing tycoon game being time based.
    The drawbacks of it being free to play are t
    hat of an energy meter that limits how much you can do, which only refills over time or by cash items. However the major flaw this this game lies in its lack of depth and sophistication. Its not really a game so much as it is a sort of ant farm or fish tank. It gets pretty boring very quickly with the lack of detail in the environment, or really any graphical impression whatsoever. You cannot move around to design or explore your "3d" habitat, and alot of the features in the game do not seem to work correctly. Example: i keep running into the problem of food chain carnivores that constantly give me warning notifications telling me i do not have enough abundant lower tier animals to sate their appetite, even though i spent all of my in game resources to buy massive herds of herbivores and fish eaters, which the tutorial told me i needed to feet these carnivores, yet having only a single lone carnivore still penalizes my equilibrium score because i "do not have enough animals to eat." For what little gameplay there is, this roadblock completely kills any progress or fun you might have found with this game. Unless that is, you pay money to buy the other species in the game, which serve no purpose other than to stand there..well. Like a dumb animal. I do not recommend this game to anyone because it really isnt that entertaining unless you really REALLY enjoy pointless micromanagement over time. Expand
