Synergy is a city management and building game by Leikir Studio which, at first glance, may seem relaxing due to its color palette and calm music. However, after a while of playing, you quickly realize the harshness and challenges that this barren world offers.
He Early Access of Synergy bring with you a lots of buildings, vegetation, exploration options and decorations. The research tree expansion is extremely comprehensive, with eight branches and around 60 different technologies to research. This includes new buildings, methods of watering and growing plants, and decorations like benches and lights to beautify your town. However, this abundance of content doesn’t make things easy.
The game starts with a simple warehouse and some basic resources like food, water and building materials. The few refugees we have must face the relentless sun of the desert. The first thing will be to find dirty water, which we can extract and purify. A particularity of Synergy is that it requires a sustainable approach to resource collection. For example, if we uproot a plant, it will be lost, if we cut down a tree, we will lose its shade, etc.
Synergy, seasons and sustainable development
Another crucial point concerns the seasons of the year. Synergy alternates between hot and dry periods. Temperate seasons are the ideal time to gather materials and build infrastructure, because during dry seasons conditions become extremely harsh. The heat will become almost deadly, plants will die and water will become scarce.
Preparing for the dry season turns out to be one of the pillars of gameplay. It is essential to calculate the nutritional needs of your population and stockpile enough to get through these difficult times. Balancing the extraction of resources with the conservation of the environment and with the passage of periods is something that we do not expect a priori, but which we must manage if we want to develop our city and survive.
Working on seed farms, composting stations and building bird nests to encourage the return of wildlife are tasks that require dedication, but offer rewarding rewards. To see how
Is on a good path
Synergy It’s on a very good path. Promotes the use of renewable energies, collaboration with nature and optimist in the face of adversities that, to be honest, are dangerously close to reality. The challenge is not only to keep your citizens alive, but also to restore and care for the planet they inhabit. The gameplay is fun, although complex if you don’t have experience in this type of game. It is also very beautiful graphically and the soundtrack, despite the premise of the title, is very relaxing. Totally recommended and looking forward to seeing how development progresses.
