"Pile Up!" is a strategic building game which you need to build houses, fulfill your people’s requests and manage your risky buildings in different ways on a small land. But don’t let your guard down in this chill environment, we only get you relaxed so you destroy everything you did.
Pile Up! is a city-building resource sim, except I'm not really sure what the point is.
Pros:
-Cool Concept of building the city upwards.
Cons:
-The resources don't really seem to matter much? Buildings are randomly generated so there is not that much strategizing to do besides give yourself more building space.
-Camera/placement controls are VERY janky....
Wow. This might be the hardest I've bounced off a game in a long time. The tutorial is abysmal. It is very unclear at what it is asking you to do at times, telling you to click on something which it does not make clear what it wants you to click on. You'll end up button mashing your keyboard in frustration when you cannot find what it wants, and then...
Soft locked several times in different ways in the opening tutorial.
Pushed on with little success, disappointed to find such a broken game.
Humorously the latest update from a couple weeks ago (the first one since the day one patch, over a year ago) mentions adding a skip button to the tutorial to avoid softlocks but it seems to cause them more.
It's...
TLDR: Needs a patch but a worthy chill game.
Game is a decent time waster though it has some glaring problems at the moment. Most of the keys fail to unlock so you cant unlock the other perks, does it hinder you not really but it is annoying to do the challenge and get nothing. Lack of an undo button is huge, its so annoying accidentally placing a building...
This game looked super cool in the screenshots, I like the UI design and the 3d models are great. But the gameplay itself causes a lot of confusion and a bit of frustration.
I got it with the humble bundle and was excited to try it, I didn't get the tutorial bugs people seem to be having, but it was very rushed and didn't explain things well enough...
