60 of 240 · most liked firstI wanted to love it soooooo much, however it was a direct copy of ONI, but worse. If you've played ONI, do not buy, However, if you haven't, try this first to see if you enjoy. Hopefully this game will improve over time!

unlabelledView post →This is such a cheap and blatant rip-off from "Oxygen not included". It advertises itself with being a "physics sandbox", but it doesn't give you the tools to work with physics, since gas overlays are missing and gases move like liquids. Physic doesn't work like that. One of the most BASIC comands are missing: "Move" or something like that, as well as a "mop up" command to get rid of water pools. Pumps are useless, since pipes can only hold 1 kg per segment. And one tile of water can hold…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's ONI, but worse in its current state. Finished the current content in less than 3 hours. However, I'd like to say that I'm hopeful for this game. Having almost 1K hours in ONI I've been searching for something similar. Competition drives the world by fostering innovation. Hope to see great things in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- AI wrote ONI Clone. - Identical. meh - Even the same price of Oxygen Not Included at the moment. (this game is definitely not worth the same price of oni) maybe $5.99-9.99 max.. very very bare of a game, unfinished maybe alpha stage? - In-game words even seem extremely bare, like a cursor was placed and words was typed in. - Like others have suggested, the colonists seem to die at random. - suffocating at random, with oxygen. - dying of thirst and hunger when there is food and water. -…

unlabelledView post →I'll try to be as constructive as I can, but I won't sugar-coat it. This was explained to me by the dev as a story-driven, more casual ONI-insiped game (Oxygen Not Included). But after playing a few hours, it feels like ONI that's not yet finished. The story is neither immersive nor interesting unless you remember to open journals. These felt more like a gimmick to try and not look like a straight ONI rip-off. The similarities in terms of visuals, gameplay, items, recipes and tech tree are…

unlabelledView post →Looks like cheap version of ONI, but crashing too much. I will give another try after time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It looked like an interesting ONI like Game, but at least in it's current state, it's just a bad copy. maybe in the future it'll be worth a second look, but for now it feels bad playing it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's trying to be Rimworld and Oxygen Not Included, and it's nottt really working. I tried to get past the early game so bad. A combination of being unable to get water out of random parts of my base and the air mechanics made my experience more frustrating than anything. There's very little explanation on how to fix things other than "hey this machine does this thing, good luck!" Not to mention the whole "stopped due to pressure" thing. I can't move air out of an area to reduce the pressure…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Any time I submit a new music demo for Adaptory (@stormcloak.games's upcoming game), our lead dev Jevon complains about it getting stuck in her head – always a validating piece of feedback to get, as a composer 😆 Might be biased, but I think we're onto a bangin' soundtrack 🔥 #gamedev #gameaudio

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oxygen not Included clone. Not much content, no innovations in game mechanics, do not recommend at this state.

unlabelledView post →Unfortunately I am already done with the Storyline. 2,4 Hours - The price is too high. As an ONI adictive - I was hungry and wanted to give this a try. It has a solid core and a much simpler gameplay which makes it a lot more accessible to newbies where ONI may be too big a handful. I enjoyed it enough to leave a positive review. But it currently lacks content (and depth). I will keep a close eye to where this is heading and maybe try it again in the future. :|
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fantastic adventure! Build a little escape hole after a crash and discover alien ruins and mysteries. Colony builder esq, yet with a more cozy personal style as you get to know your little dooders(explorers). comfort, liquid, gas, and temperature managment while trying not to succomb to the vacume of space. Youve probably seen games like this, but it has a unique and grass roots small dev team appeal that puts it high on my list. I played the demo for well over a hundred hours and the…

unlabelledView post →Currently not worth the money. There is absolutely no content yet, even for EA. It certainly has potential and it might become a decent game over time, but just wait a year or two and see where this goes (if it does)

unlabelledView post →Unfinished game. Game lacks momentum to keep me interested. I understand that its an early release but Devs failed to put in sufficient game play in it. I would recommend others not to purchase until game has more content.

unlabelledView post →Soo the good points. a lot like Oxygen not included, but more simple like that. Oxygen not include was a little to much for me. BUT as is.. the pawns are down right dumb? i have dirt all over my OXYGEN base... no they want to go out and pull dirt from the farthest point that doesn't have oxygen at all. and die... like wtf? so till the dev's fix that.. i cant recomend this game.

unlabelledView post →Very early release with lots of bugs, also bare. not much content yet. give at least half a year or so. the people die off screen in 10 seconds and without any alert. they have trantrums in areas without oxygen and refuse to move. they run out of oxygen waay too fast. it's impossible to work in areas with little oxygen.

unlabelledView post →TL;DR 6/10: Oxygen Not Included copycat. It has no achievements, good fun, and huge potential, but it's not there yet. (Potential that will one day raise the score.) The thermodynamics in Adaptory is enough to drive people of lower levels of insanity totally insane at the time of the writing of this review. Overview Gamer's purgatory. Adaptory is so much fun yet at the same time so irritating. Just like in Oxygen Not Included, the player builds a sustainable space base before the worst…

unlabelledView post →This game is excellent. My two all time favs are ONI & Rimworld so it's fantastic to find another game which is similar and inspired by these but has it's own unique gameplay. I disagree with any negative comments comparinig it to ONI. I play that game all the time and it's so nice to find another game in the same genre, what's wrong with that? Can't we have a choice like all the simulator games out there? It doesn't take anything away from ONI, and it's so nice to have a variety of games…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying this so far - simple enough to start but then I gather there can be more crunchy science for people who like that. A good mix of wholesomeness and also strategy. Will play more later this week and upate this review, but having a lot of fun with this one.

unlabelledView post →I am trying to get in the habit of writing more reviews. Those niche / solo dev games that need a little extra love really benefit and Adaptory is one of those titles that deserves the attention. If you are one of those people that LOVE the idea of the intense survival crafter .. Like Oxygen Not Included, Ratopia but NEED something a little less punished when just trying to unwind after work ... This game will be a solid addition to your library if you want a game that makes you think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →sorry this game is not worth the price you max the research less then 2 hours. Not much building items and content. when oxygen not included first came out has more build items and content. it should not be price at 20 dollar at this stage even with 20 percent off, at best i would say 5 to 10 dollars. I already pass 2 hour so i cant get a refund. however if the road map is keep with more content then i might change my review
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wonderful #Adaptory review from Hooked Gamers earlier this week - it’s true, the game might be tough to survive at first, but it’ll be adorably distracting while you try! hookedgamers.com/pc/adaptory/... #indiegame #earlyaccess #basebuilding #simulationgame
unlabelledView post →Adaptory stands out because it refuses to be just another colony sim. Everything in the world feels physical — structures behave like real structures, systems interlock in ways that feel intuitive yet satisfyingly complex, and every decision has weight. Instead of abstracted mechanics, you’re dealing with a living, reactive environment that makes your base feel like a genuine off‑world habitat rather than a spreadsheet with walls. The result is immersion that sneaks up on you. One moment you’re…

unlabelledView post →about 4 to six days in everyone dies, either from starving despite having food, or suffocating despite being near/in oxygen. multiple playthroughs never had any colony survive long enough to develop revival tech. they all just randomly start offing themselves. edit 2/16/2026 made it to 17 "days" before the first starvation with access to food. realizing Gases move like sand, not gas helped. still can't recommend
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clearly trying to impersonate the success of ONI, but with a dumbed down everything feel to it, so many quality of life options not included in this clone. Barebone research tree, loads of issues that ONI has patched, things like multi decon on blocks also taking everything else out on the same tile, electrical, gas, tile and background, all get destroyed with a single click of the deconstruction function, something ONI had fixed after a lot of requests of the fans. No extra building…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just picked up Adaptory by NZ studio Stormcloak Games (it released in early access today). It's not my usual genre, but I'm utterly charmed. No astroturfing, it's just a really satisfying early access title with lovely music and game loops. Indie dev is hard, and it's nice to see this title out
unlabelledView post →Awesome colony/simulation survival game. Amazing artwork, cute little exploreres. I love the story, character traits, and that they have their own personalities. Highly recommend everyone checks out this cozy survival based game. If you're familiar with games like ONI and Rimworld, you will have no problems tucking into this game. I can't wait to see where it goes!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just starting but I'm finding the game very intreging. I love the general feel and I'm enjoying the graphics and background music in particular. I look forward to delving deeper into what appears to be an intricate challenge with potentially hours of game play ahead.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I finished the current content, I admit I was disappointed. As other's have stated, all research can be completed in a couple of hours (far less when you figure out how). The storyline and what you're INSTRUCTED to do, is currently limited. Very, very true. But, I've played for over 100 hours. Without instruction there's plenty to do. So far, I've tamed and automated both water and magma springs figured out infinite gas and water storage managed to keep the base at the perfect…
