Characters and alien wildlife are brought to life through a rigorous simulation and the game plays out as a tug-of-war between humans and nature on a planet full of opportunities and dangers.
Features
Indirect control -- the colonists are free and have a democratic society. Dissatisfied people can either leave or vote for improving their colony: Only if you have ambitious inhabitants will you access better technology and develop a camp into a comfortable town.
-Realistic sci-fi, pioneer setting
-Simulation of alien nature, human needs and frontier community
-Detailed, flexible crafting
...We draw inspiration from ‘The Settlers’, ‘Dwarf Fortress’ and Paradox games.
Setting
The game takes place in a realistic sci-fi setting, in a plausible future without Faster-than-Light travel. Humans landed on a Tau Ceti planet in 2238 after a 100 year journey. Over the generations, the Tau Ceti colonists lost the advanced equipment which was brought to the planet and the descendants formed simple frontier societies based on farming, fishing and trade.
----------------------------------------
Open-ended maps and scenarios
In various scenarios and maps we explore the history of the planet's colonization. The tutorials and scenarios introduce you to the game's setting and mechanics and make you ready to tackle the open-ended maps where you build up a colony from scratch.
Fields of Tau Ceti are open-ended maps that take place in a primitive future centuries after planetfall. You begin with a community equipped for either hunting, farming or fishing and work off the land. Apart from an old robot, the people use simple technology such as smithing, small scale farming and black powder.
Fields of Tau Ceti currently has 2 maps + 1 large map version for powerful PCs.
Muckroot Mining Site is an open-ended map where a mining crew is extracting metals in a dangerous biome: They use advanced weapons for protection against the wildlife. They can start a settlement, mixing advanced and primitive tech.
Twinkler Island is a scenario with a team of planet explorers that have crash-landed on an island and must wait for rescue. There will be attacks by pack predators, the so-called “twinklers” which emerge from the caves littering the island.
Making Headway is an open-ended scenario where you grow a small farm community by expanding into rubber production, extracting sap from a dangerous swamp.
The Clay Pit is an open-ended tutorial where a scruffy crew of laborers make mudbricks for sale. See if you can turn the camp into a permanent settlement.
Castaways is a tutorial scenario that teaches you the game as you guide a group of stranded sailors to find food, fight 'bush dragons' and build a signal pyre on top of an island.
-The maps and scenarios are hand-made but we ensure replayability by randomizing starting location, number of resources, colonists, trade goods, animals etc.

last update 2017.
"bUt I MuSt DeFeNd ShAdY PrAcTiCeS!!!" - every company defender.
Unclaimed World is an ancient game from 2012-2016. It's a whopping 8-12 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for the typical features of modern gaming PCs, hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on contemporary machines. The game looks and feels dated. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an old game. This seems to have be lingering on Steam with an inflated price to try profit from abandonware.
And abandonware this most certainly is. This looks like a really promising space colony simulator... and games like this can really be amazing and fun to play, but here, it's not. There's little to no content, just three mostly sandbox scenarios, and it's buggy and a lot of the gameplay is either massively unpolished or just not there. The developers walked away from this, but they're still reprehensibly trying to charge money for an incomplete game... this is not good for gamers, and leaving the game on Steam in an incomplete and valueless state is just polluting the store.
So don't be fooled by the promising looks and theme... what's advertised is not what you get.
Unclaimed World didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is "Castaways - Completed", for finishing the first tutorial, trivial to get, but less than 21 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, even the people who own this game weren't interested in it.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a modest spike in player counts for the game. But this only happened once, around the same time that trading cards were applied to the game... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam?
Unclaimed World is relatively expensive for an abandonware nostalgia gouge, at $17 USD, and it's not worth it. Even when it was new, this was never a triple-A game. This is the kind of game that would go almost directly from the warehouse into the cheap bargain bins at the front of the shop.
For comparison, the $17 asking price for this game could get you games like "Red Dead Redemption 2", "The Outer Wilds" or "Stray". Quality, professionally made (and fully completed) games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.
Pleasantly odd, a bit of a frustrating UI, with long periods of watching interspersed with demanding micro. Best thing about it is how well it does the 'weirdness' of being on a xenoplanet, Probably not worth full price.
Was it good? 1/5
Did I enjoy it? 1/5
There are no redeeming features. It's actually broken.
