Keep your friends close… At first, that is.
Onbu stays on track, Onbu gets a treat.
Some of that comes down to their many systems frying my little brain, but Onbu has me persevering.
Because the resources I’m harvesting and community I’m building help or hinder Onbu.
My enemy isn’t some army a mile away, it’s Onbu.
I’ll just come out and say it.
Onbu is a doofus.
He’s a massive beast that wanders a planet ravaged by poisonous spores and arid deserts.
His back being YOUR land.
This is your relationship with Onbu at first.
Sometimes he’ll have the audacity to sleep in these sweltering conditions too.
Which then, of course, means that you’ll have trouble collecting water to feed your crops.
The seasons don’t always change when you’re on the back of an Onbu.
So, you’ve got to adapt.
Maybe pack up your farms for a bit and push your citizens to go stock up on berries.
Maybe build a kitchen and turn those berries into a slurry that’ll last the drought.
Survive Onbu’s early silliness and you’re able to strike up somewhat of a relationship.
Whether that’s growing mushroom feed, sticking it on a trebuchet, and launching it into his maw.
But Onbu’s back is your land too!
So, you could harvest his blood if you’d like.
This won’t go down too well, mind.
If you’re nice, though, he’ll probably listen.
The element of unpredictability can be frustrating, but that’s what sets this city-builder apart from the others.
You don’t fear encroaching armies or stockpile for tough winters.
Instead, you make the most of land that’s barely under your control.
But, they’re cats and can’t be tamed.
Will your Lego set survive?
Depends how well it’s constructed.
You cangive the demo a goyourself and see how well you get on with Onbu.
