In our first playthrough the nuggets taunted us by building across the other side of a lake and subsequently being too far away to date each other (a bug that has mercifully been fixed since). Their autonomous building can be an issue at times, as houses still cost resources to build and tend to get prioritised over every other building regardless of divine intervention. Nuggets rhyme with rabbits… and reproduce with about the same frequency. Nuggets have lives of their own, building houses, eating, drinking, dating and reproducing (in a Sims-style, rock-the-bed fashion) under your watchful gaze. These are your worshippers, your workers and your playthings. Once the tower is down, your nuggets spawn. These take several minutes to complete, but you can queue the low-tier upgrades and are (currently) guaranteed to research all of them eventually. It lets you choose new items to research at regular intervals, picking from a selection of boosts and upgrades. The hub of this is the Evolution Tower - the first building you place and the driving force behind your civilisation. In The Universim, the main course of forward momentum comes from building placement, which you are directly responsible for. It may not be big, but it’s home.Īs a god, though, what do you control? Every game has a different perspective. One of the things The Universim attempts to do is keep you attached to your subjects’ lives. Its diminutive size lets you focus on the people upon it as they cover its surface, rather than losing them amidst the detail. Covered by clusters of trees and mountains, its lakes harbour whales and its plains play host to a handful of wandering creatures. Your world, taken in context of the size of its people, is more of an asteroid in dimensions.
It takes a while to get there, though - reaching the next era of civilisation takes a few hours of building, research and resource juggling - so most of our time was spent on the starting planet. This begins with one mother planet then, as your civilisation expands its horizons, spreads out into space. The major difference between The Universim and others in its genre is that it grants control over not one, but several planets.
But less-ambitious god sims have turned out to be bug-ridden busts before, so where does The Universim fit in? Ever wanted to hold the whole world in your hands? Why not several? The Universim goes a step beyond other god simulations by offering an entire universe to shape to your liking.
