Per Aspera, un juego del estilo city builder en el que vamos a pasar horas jugando sin darnos cuenta. Somos protagonistas junto con una inteligencia artificial llamada AMI, quien fue creada con un único objetivo, colonizar marte. Hay muchas cosas por hacer y las misiones u objetivos se van ampliando cada vez más así como también la expansión de nuestra base.

Un muy buen trabajo de este estudio argentino. El cual seguramente siga haciendo crecer un proyecto que os va sorprender, os va a absorber, y os va a plantear una de esas experiencias estratégicas que no os esperabais, pero que ha llegado a vuestra vida para absorbérosla con mucho placer.

Per Aspera's novel adaptation of nonlinear narrative to fit a strategy game goes over surprisingly well. Combined with a novel terraforming mechanic, slick aesthetics, hard science chops, and classic genre gameplay, this one is definitely worth the time.

Per Aspera puede ser un simulador de construcción algo complejo al principio, que requiere dedicarle mucho tiempo a su narrativa. Sorprendente el trabajo del estudio argentino al crear una IA que muchas veces parece muy compleja. Es raro decirlo, pero fue un juego divertido y educativo al mismo tiempo con un argumento que engancha muy rápido. A pesar de la barrera inicial que tiene para aprender su base, la historia lo compensa con creces.

This is a great colony sim with a a ton of imagination, well-disguised in places as real science. It lays the existentialism on pretty thick at times, and it has the potential to thoroughly overwhelm you, but Per Aspera is an oddly intoxicating expedition into the colonisation of another world.

Per Aspera is a stunningly realistic "planet builder" in which you play as an AI tasked with terraforming Mars. Although its pace is sometimes slow, it is an extremely educational game with a surprisingly deep and touching story.

A smart, sprawling city builder that explores the cost of humanity's need to conquer through the mind of an AI, blurring the line between duty and morality. It requires some patience, but its quiet chills are unique in the genre.

Per Aspera offers a surprisingly emotional narrative that explores the thought process of an evolving AI programmed to assist humans in colonizing Mars. The symbiotic gameloop of creating structures and growing your presence on the surface while hitting key milestones is cathartic. I was easily immersed in this experience, but only after some trial and error trying to understand how it all worked due to a limited tutorial.

Per Aspera has a wealth of content on offer. The game is incredibly captivating, and you’ll easily get sucked into it for hours on end thanks to the story driven content. It’s a sci-fi city-builder with a narrative that grabs you and keeps you going even if there are some cliched or predictable elements to it. We just really wish that it didn’t feel so rough around the edges. There’s a sandbox mode in the game too but playing the campaign is what makes it shine. Per Aspera comes highly recommended from us but please bear in mind that you will most likely struggle towards the later stages of the game (10 hours or more into it) and there’s going to be a lot of waiting and frustration in concluding the story. We’re hoping that the developers address this sooner rather than later.

Per Aspera is a gameplay-centric affair that doesn’t excel through impressive visuals, but is extremely easy to get lost in. It’s not as deep as other simulations, but that’s exactly why it gets away with a tutorial that is too brief and why it’s such a good game to play once you’re done with something like Mars Horizon. If you’re a fan of the genre and enjoy space exploration, this one is happy to gobble up many hours of your time.

The level of detail Per Aspera provides for players, as well as pleasing visuals, voice acting, and storylines, are what really makes the Martian city simulator worth playing. Per Aspera’s gameplay experience could be improved upon with a clearer tutorial, objectives, and less complicated data collection, but what's here is enough to make it a compelling experience nonetheless. Certainly, anyone with city building experience looking for more will be quite pleased, but those new to the genre still might find something of value in Per Aspera's take on a tried-and-true archetype.

Per Aspera es un excelente Management Sim con un gameplay loop que te puede dejar enganchado horas y horas. Una historia principal interesante, que toca temas científicos y filosóficos, junto a decisiones que pueden ir cambiando cómo suceden estos eventos. Cuenta con algunos errores de programación en este aspecto y un soundtrack que se vuelve viejo muy rápido, pero no son problemas que afecten masivamente la historia del juego.  Es un título más que recomendado para los fanáticos de la estrategia, el city building y la administración. 

Regardless of these criticisms, it’s impossible to write off Per Aspera because it attempts something novel and is so close to sticking the landing that its namesakes seem incredibly fitting – “through adversity to the stars” -there are plenty of hardships here, but in the end, it reaches an unlikely, dazzling goal via its storytelling.
