TheUniversim is a 2024 indie simulation god game developed and published by Crytivo for Microsoft Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Designed by Alexander Koshelkov, it has the player take the role of God to guide the development of civilization throughout the ages. Development was funded by a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in April 2014. The Universim was released in early access for Steam in 2018.[1]

The Universim is a planet management game where the player takes the role of the "Creator", and guides the development of civilization. Each planet is randomly generated and can be colonised given enough time and technology. Initially the game starts in the Stone Age where the player needs to build basic shelters and invent fire. Buildings and society evolve as civilization progresses unlocking new buildings and technologies. Firstly an Epicenter must be built and other buildings will be developed around it. Standard housing is built automatically but the location of special buildings like Power Plants and Farms has to be specified by the player. Resources such as food, clothing and power must be managed in order to speed up development, survive long winters and cope with natural disasters. Eventually you can guide your civilization past the Modern era to the Space era where it is possible to colonize other planets and harvest valuable resources from these planets.


Each planet on Universim is dynamic and evolves throughout the game. There is weather simulation including changing seasons and natural disasters. Meteor crashes and forest fires can wreak havoc upon civilizations, while long winters can slow development. Many planets have alien inhabitants, some are friendly but others are not and have to be defended against. Your citizens, known as "Nuggets", have the ability to make their own decisions and do things their own way; this can create dangerous problems and even lead to wars which the player can attempt to stop. As well as managing development the player also has to keep their civilization loyal and under control. The players influence is based on two elements which are Power and Wrath. Power comes from successful completion of tasks and allows the player to alter the world e.g. change the weather. Wrath is generated when the Nuggets fail to complete tasks, this allows the player to unleash destruction on the world to scare the Nuggets into action.[2][3][4][5]


On June 13, 2014, PayPal put a minimum reserve of $1 million on the Crytivo Games account which meant none of their funds could be accessed until their account reached a balance of $1 million. By May 15, 2015, they took to Twitter in an attempt to break PayPal's silence and access their pledged funds.[11]


A pre-alpha version of the game was released on September 15, 2015 and was available to anyone who bought access to the alpha tier of the game.[13] This preview included a mainly spectator version of the game where players could explore a planet and construct several different buildings. The total gameplay time was about 20 minutes. On August 2, 2016, the alpha version was released after a major update. The alpha version includes more control over the population (referred to as "Nuggets"); most of the Stone Age buildings and mechanics are present, some in-depth functionality like injuries and healthcare are in place, and in-game tutorials were added.[14][15]

It originally started out as an Indie game by Introversion Software. I backed it on Steam as a pre-alpha and later had my brothers name put in the game. The great thing about this was each month, I got/get a free update with new content, bug fixes and improvements.


Since then it has has launched as version 1, being available on both PC and Mac. It has loads of positive reviews on Steam, tens of thousands of players and has just launched or about to launch on consoles. The creators have also recently won BAFTA for the game.


This game is visually beautiful. From the trees to the weather, to the animals, nuggets and buildings. The artwork is stunning. The game has little people, called nuggets, which the player is god over.

Universim is a new and upcoming God game currently in development by Crytivo Games. Recent updates are beginning to transform this title into something promising. Procedurally generated planets, resource management, technology research, dynamic events, and more will hopefully bring a captivating God game to market.


Universim is being developed from the ground up to be a little different from a typical God game. While you will be able to hold power over your own people, this unique little game will take things to a whole new level. There's going to be a dynamic experience with various factors that can affect the outcome.


Civilization will advance, which will bring great benefits and potential problems, but in the end, the fate of the empire rests in your hands alone. Whether you wish for them to eventually succeed and create a God-like society of prosperity or suffer and burn in fire is entirely down to how you feel on the day.


Space age. "Conquer planet after planet." That means we'll be taking to the stars eventually and that excites me as a fan of God games. It mixes some interesting strategic gameplay elements with a little city/resource management.


The latest update released earlier this month, titled "Beast Hunter," brought the game up to version 0.024. It's still early days and way too soon to do a review of any sort, but from what we have seen so far (and trying out this latest patch), things I'm looking for are really starting to take shape.


Called "nuggets," your people handle day to day tasks on their own, but you need to place orders for the construction of buildings. Building houses will give nuggets a home to live in (and to reproduce), allocate plots for resources will aid in bringing valuable materials into the tribe, and an archive allows you to save the game.


Considering just how early the latest version is in development, the game itself runs fairly well indeed. The graphics look good prior to future passes, which I imagine will come as the team completes all the heavy lifting with new features and additional systems. The UI looks like it's part of a polished indie game already available.
