National Machine

First off, I understand that some may have the feeling that's just a Factorio ripoff or similar, and/or getting annoyed about the grafical style "problems". I, however, don't have any of them thoughts. I rather see Factorio as the Grandfather wo inspired others. So, about the Game: (if you're looking for an easy arcade-like game, then this game is nothing for you) You're tasked to support your Nation in the World War 2. At the Moment there is just the United Kingdom. But there will be more, for what i've read it will be the major Nation from WW2. At this stage of Development you can actually do a lot ingame, that will keep you busy for hours. Build Tanks/ Planes/ Guns and Equipment like Radars. But don't think this will be easy. Want to Produce a simple Rifle? Be prepared to think and build out your production-line in the next hour or two. And don't forget the Bullets, best to make sure you don't have anything other to do tonight. ;P For now there's only a small tutorial in Text fro...

This is the first game I bought from Steam since I have time to play computer game after my examination(...mark....).I like the subject of World war 2. for this game, it is not the trational shooting and running game related to the war. Therefore, I like the idea of producing arms for the war. After I read from the previous reviews, I understand that this game is not a full version.At first, this game is a little difficult for a beginer and it takes me some time to pass the tutorial. but once you have acquired the skills of building and setting, you will find it some kind of fun to build the factories,set the ports correctly, make the blueprints of the factories. Even though it is not the final version, I would like to support the developer to upgrade the game and expecting the final version. I believe the mission target should be more than this, and hope to see a better UI.

Great idea with ww2 arms race style game. Will be good to see future developments on this game. It is a good start to possibly an awesome game style and competitive game play.

This idea of having a game that takes place in a time where nations are at war is a fantastic idea in my opinion. The game is very FAR from being a great one. It has such high potential and I would like to make suggestions to the developers about where they can improve. The game recently just got a new User interface update and I must say that update looks fabulous compared to the older one. However before they updated this UI they had rebuilt the way the traffic system works and in my opinion made it just alittle more complicated then what it used to be! Of course writing this review is probably my only way of suggesting ideas to the Dev.. But for those out there that are looking for a great game from world war II, then this will be the game for you! Its extremely time consuming, but its not boring in anyway! As far as the suggestions Go from what I have seen, There are a few bugs around where the blue print and product buttons are as far as SPG and tank destroyer blue prints, They...

TL/DR: Early access game is not worth your time and money. I cannot in good concious recomend this game, if you could call it one, at this time. Reasons listed below: 1. No Tutorial: Lack of a write up clearly explaining how to play is non-existent. There is some arbitrary help screen that pops up every single time you click on something granted, however the screens which pop up, do not explain anything about what you have clicked on. The help screen that comes up isn't related at all to the function you are trying to perform. 2. No defined objective: Clicking 'New Game' launches you into some random dirt plot, presumably in a post apocalytpic England. The game should then give you some basic objective to get you started, but all you get instead is a clunky user interface and an irritating, poorly written, help screen. "Make stuff" is not a solid enough objective. 3. Price: I purchased this at $14 (US) when it is hardly worth $5 as it is. 4. Lack of end user options: There is an...

Hi all, First off, I want to make clear that this game is in Early Access and is still under development. I like the game, and despite the bugs, its still fun and I could easily spend hous playing. Its about producing things for wartime needs and is set in second world war era. You need to produce things like tanks, planes, vehicles, weapons, and all the parts and materials that will be needed to produce these items. This game has great potential, I just hope the dev will continue working on it until its finished. I already have nearly an hour of gameplay for every dollar I spent, and will easily surpass. So its a big thumbs up for me!

I honestly had high hopes for this game, but it is lacking of any guidance to assist noobs, and is very confusing. Hopefully I can come back eventually and change this Negative review to a positive! :)

In the short time I have had this game Ive easily been able to guage what an utter POS it is. There is little to no thought put into the game. No description, advice or instruction upon start up....and the "help" menu pops up repeatedly while youre trying to do other things. The game seems like it might have been made by 5th grade special ed kids. There are stupid spelling mistakes and grammatical errors throughhout the menus. This just reminds me of why I NEVER by early access games. Utter shite and I think the full version probably wont be so far off from this one. Save your money and buy Factorio.

I do recommend this game, but to be honest, this product is not ready for release. At this point, I don't believe the game is worth the $15, unless you're into donating to very early products. The belts don't snap together most of the time - and that is the most frustrating part of all. There's also no way to merge belts - maybe that will be fixed later. If you spend even a modicum of time tinkering with the game, you can figure out how it's supposed to work. This is a great concept, it just needs a lot of the kinks worked out.

No real tutorial or in-game guidance on how to create these assembly lines... This game isn't ready for my money yet.
