Industries of Titan

Good bones here, but in May 2023, the company behind this game laid off half its staff. Since then this game has not received an update.

I cannot recommend this since it's been abandoned, but what's here is good, even if it can get stale deeper into your run.

5/10.

Was excited about this game on launch but it became abandonware sadly. so much potential wasted.

Cool but unfinished.

It's fun until it leaves you lamenting its lost potential. Abandoned after release sadly

They deliver on the core fantasy and mechanics. Its a little rough around the edges but its a good time.

A fun, mildly challenging, dystopic city builder with RTS combat elements and the ability to fully customize the layouts of your buildings and ships. Some words of advice for newer players: play the campaign and build a connected smokestack near your processing factories connected via road with at least 1 person permanently cleaning up trash, and another permanently ferrying it to the smokestack otherwise you will be overwhelmed by trash. The weather elements can cause an incredible amount of performance issues so turn those effects down. Building two of the same type of building next to each-other will allow you to connect them for the same cost as the upgrade to level 2 of the building and saves you a portion of the resources required to upgrade it later. In the campaign, 2 defensive turrets at level 3 will make short work of the first 3 waves of rebels. And finally, you can build the lvl2 refinery in such a way that it has 2 outputs and 2 inputs which will allow you to process both minerals and isotopes simultaneously with a single employee.

absolutely amazing so far, 3 hours in and im still doing the tutorial while feeling like a evil genius lol, love this game 10/10, amazing art and voice acting! very cool ascetic

be sure to stay away from the steam community hub though, super dangerous/risky staff just like all games now, do not asking questions as a new player trying to learn, or as anything

It's pretty fun for what it is. I really dig a lot of the game mechanics. It's atmospheric! It needs more stuff to build and do. It feels almost unfinished but polished. The voiceovers are dumb and I turned off the music right away, but I dig the sound and graphics otherwise.

Overall, it's a pretty impressive game. It took me some time to figure out the game mechanics, and it's leaving me wanting more games with weird complex mechanics like this. I like the peons moving stuff shtick, which is often used. The devices inside factories that can then be made as large buildings is an interesting dynamic. The upgrading of resources is pretty interesting though it could work better than it does. I wish there were more resources maybe.

It's really not that disappointing. I am pretty hooked for now. The combat is meh, though with improvements, it would be pretty neat. It's a very interesting dynamic; it just falls kind of flat for me so far.

I'd recommend it with caveats. I don't think it deserves the negative reviews it's getting recently.

Fun game, I enjoyed.

Unplayable now. Engine confuses itself; Full-screen mode partially renders in border-less mode. Application never focuses, interacting with game blinks to a black screen, 1 second of sound, can't interact with menus, un-focuses again.

Completely Broken. Steam's -popupwindow or -windowed commands get overridden by game engine.
Can't find game's config file to force game settings before launch either.

Had it on my wishlist for a long time. It's fun for like 3 hours, but has no end goal and gets boring really fast. I would never pay $30 for this unfinished game. Best bet would be no more than $10

I LOVE THE BGM / OST.

Now, all the good part first. The BGM is out of this world (get it?). It has a Cyberpunky theme being on a Titan. Kind of a hopeless, awesome, corpo like theme.

The premise and story is great. You are the leader of this Startup company working on delivering shareholder value, by building a mining / refinery / city in Titan. Very polished VA and background. I get to think that maybe at some time you became a rebel yourself and build a city standing againt Council.

Gameplay wise, it's loop is kinda short. Very linear despite its a base building / city building. There are better freestyle basebuilding game (e.g. Oxygen not included / Timberborn) after several iteration you'll find its kind of repetitive. So, not the main forte.

But, the music is really awesome.

I had high hopes for this game. Crying shame it was abandoned

This was such a cool concept, i absolutely loved it. However it's been abandoned since and this is heartbreaking, it had such great potential. Sad to see a cool unique game like this be sent to die.

This game is abandoned, no mod support at all, nothing progresses.

kinda hard to grasp at first but once u start understanding how things work you'll love the gameplay, soundtracks, and art style this game has to offer you. yes they could have done more with this game and who knows maybe BYG will come back and show some more love but hey i remember when this game was only a thought and like two concept art images they teased way back in the day so im happy it got made. Great game so much fun!

so this is definitely "a get it on special" game the core gameplay is unfortunately is shallow due to lack of overall variety if you want a game like industries of titan but more filled out just get against the storm

It's okay for abandonware. The devs apparently got laid off. If you like these type of games, just wait for it to be on sale.

Superb cyberpunk artwork, immersive dystopian vibe & backstory, epic space-themed soundtrack by Danny, it instantly fascinates sci-fi fans of this type like myself.
Some Innovations in gameplay as well, the game includes building interior layout design, u gotta piece ur resource processing line inside ur factory while optimizing space utilization, and u have to design ur spaceship interior layout as well (which i consider most impressive).
As to difficulty, might be brain-burning to manage and dispatch ur employees at first, especially when u need something done yet it got suspended like forever lol... but after paving ur roads and setting the transit artery in motion, i felt unprecedented sense of achievement and smoothness watching trucks moving fast and in order.

But this recommendation is for myself only, i wouldn't recommend this game to most players hoping for a usual 4X strategy city-builder outstanding in gameplay.

The game is just basically, in an unfinished state, lacking many essential design to make it a 'fun' game, not just a game with pretty art design.
This game got its v1.0 release in 2023 and then stopped, cuz reviews & sales didn't do well, and devs decided to shift focus from this title (no plans of further development of the game).

So the game is currently, abandoned, meaning u can't buy this game and hope it gets better in the future...

Shame, having hoped that the game one day gets completed as a SimCity + Command & Conquer, then an epic it would become...

This game doesn't deserve the dismally low rating it currently has. They went with a gameplay concept combining RTS, city and factory builder, and they did a good job. It also looks amazing. It works and there's no serious bugs and as low as the bar is these days, it is worthy of a 1.0 version number. The only real problem is in the late game where it can get a bit boring without any objective besides wipe the map clean, and the "campaign" replay mechanic doesn't provide anything interesting enough to really warrant repeated playthroughs. It is also a shame that multiplayer never made it in.

The OST on the other hand really has no business being this good. Absolute Banger must buy.

I thought this game was a lot of fun while it lasted. As others say here, it sort of wears out its welcome, there are some bugs, and eventually my sprawling cities became too much to be able to complete the game on Steam Deck, but I really enjoyed my time with it. If the game was still seeing updates and improvements, I could recommend it wholeheartedly. Definitely worth it if you can get it in the $5-or-less bin.

Bad game bad development

This is truly a great indie game that is definitely re-playable.

Well, it was a bit of fun during early access. So the game can be enjoyable for a while but there was no real goal other than grinding your way forward and plastering the map with buildings. That stops being fun soon enough.

Now that Industries of Titan is abandoned I would not recommend getting it. You'll get a half-finished game with no purpose.

This game had so much potential. They screwed themselves over in their EA stage. Such a shame it's abandoned.

If you're willing to play this, just get it in heavy discount. This will never get any new updates anymore, so it seems.

Another half-finished game marketed as 1.0
I would say it is worth max. 10 bucks probably less

Shame to see a game with so much potential abandoned like this.

Devs are trash

Nope

Bought it in the really early stages and saw so much potential for the Game, but barely any updates came which people wanted or anything at all, and now they just abandoned the Game.
Tbh really sad to see, and just cant recommend the Game because of it.
If you can get it for a really really low price though, its still worthish a look, but nowhere near worth 30Euros

I loved the art style and especially the surreal audio and getting sometimes lost in your colony's creation but after gettin too 100hrs and doing everything ingame i stepped back in 2023 for a year-2 too give the developers some time too update or plan something :)

but sadly... it seems abandoned and the lack of updates doesnt help D:

Nothing in almost a year. There was so much potential squandered in this title.

Bought the game in early access, because it looked very cool, and when I played it, it played well for an EA title, it showed a lot of promise.

But it had no endgame to speak of. At the beginning you would place down buildings with interiors. Then you unlock big building without interiors, which are better in every way.

So then you just spam these building untill you die of boredom, because thats all the game has to offer. Endless sprawl, no endgame, no real long term objectives, nothing but sprawl. It was that way at launch, its still that way now.

The devs fucking abandoned it, I hope this remains as a stain on their company.

Game has really great bones, but it looks like it will not finish its development.

wasted potential, abandoned.

Solid abandonware. So much potential wasted.
