I gave it a try the other day and really enjoyed it! Really nice cartoon art style / setting. The above-ground portion of the game feels like a solid clone of the Anno series games. Then below ground adds a fun twist of exploration / resource gathering into the mix.

Really looking forward to when it releases now!

Yeah, it's a LOT of fun. I always liked the Steamworld style for games. And I enjoy that they always try something new.

It has a great feel, the art is great. Apparently the demo ends before you get to the tower defense type mode. But I think they nailed the Anno feel while keeping it less complex and more interesting for me.

Yeah I really think they did a good job with having a lot of systems, yet still being pretty straightforward to understand. There were only a couple things that I didn't immediately understand (even without reading tutorial text).

Definitely can't wait to see if the full game holds to that pattern!

Completely agree. Usually with these colony builder style games, I run into several problems where I just don't understand how the systems are implemented, and the game does a poor job of explaining stuff. But on this Steamworld Build, I never ran into that. Everything made sense, and I loved expanding and placing my buildings, and moving stuff around etc... REALLY well done on their part. Very much looking forward to the release.

Tower Defense? There's more than just city building on top and dungeon diving underground? How many genres did they throw in this time?

IDK. But from what I've heard and seen of the trailer, there will be a sort of tower defense thing in the mines. IDK what it'll be like, but seems interesting.
