But the fact it's unfinished and will never be finished and some annoying bugs make this into a game that's only for the hard core fans of the genre. Perhaps mods will make this better in the future, but it was Double Fine's job to do that in the first place. As it stands I would not pay good money for it.… Expand

You have to manage oxygen,Spacebase DF9 is a space management simulator where a small pod of astronauts set out to create a new space colony. You have to manage oxygen, food, jobs and the happiness of your intergalactic residents. As you progress, you will need to continue expanding to make space for new residents. The game had the potential to become an enjoyable simulator, but fell short in so many ways.
   
   PROS:
   The graphics are decent.
   The sound is fitting for the game.
   Most of the astronauts are not human, they are alien, making for more interesting looking characters.
   
   CONS:
   The game is very repetitive. After only an hour of gameplay, all the messages are the same, all your residents are saying the same things, everyone behaves the same etc. The game is severely lacking in variety.
   The A.I. is brutally stupid. Your colony can die because your mechanic is to depressed to fix the oxygen generators, killing everyone.
   There is quite a limited amount of things to build. Once you build each type of room, all you can do is keep making the same things as more astronauts arrive. No matter what, the gameplay is boring after the first hour or so.
   There is a lot of waiting, even when you speed things up.
   When you encounter problems, there is a fixed solution to deal with them. It gets even more boring and repetitive when you are forced to do the same steps continuously as the game progresses.
   
   It all comes down to is repetitiveness and a loss of interest. The game could be so much better if there were more scenarios and problems and multiple unique strategies to use. Unfortunately, this game is not worth the price when there are so many better alternatives available.… Expand

   It started off perfectly fine. Early access by a trusted company. Double fine has made some great games, over the years.
   Then.. they released it, patched it a tiny bit, dropped it. Just dropped it, no reason for doing so, they just didnt care enough to finish it. AND YET THE GAME IS STILL UP ON STEAM IN 2020!
   Ahem, anywho.. the community has released unofficial patches that fix plenty of issues.
   Good on them. But over the years, that team has fallen apart and its kind of.. in limbo.
   I would say you should expect very little. Is the core game okay? Yes. But it doesnt take an expert to notice the issues inherent in the first 15 minutes.
   Skip this one, lads. Praise the community but dont ask them to solve this clusterfu~@.… Expand

   A waste of money. Developers botched this from the start. They claim they tried their hardest to keep developing, but the incredibly smallA waste of money. Developers botched this from the start. They claim they tried their hardest to keep developing, but the incredibly small amount of content added when they were still developing begs to differ. If you compare it to similar games like Rimworld (which has only a single developer), then you can clearly see that they had no commitment to the project at all. A huge ripoff for those who purchased it, and an unfinished turd of a game that isn't worth purchasing. Double Fine's good reputation seems to be largely based in games over a decade old, because based on the way they behaved towards their customers here they are neither competent nor particularly well intentioned.… Expand
