I spent all the starting gems in wind mills, a research lab and silos, only to realize later that I didn’t have the needed resources left to build the only vehicle for generating additional gems, which is to build a Bio Lab to research and breed cattle and then a spaceport in order to transport them to the intergalactic market for selling. For instance, I got stuck in level 3 because I neglected my industry, so to speak. Of course, level repetition is almost inevitable. So, at first glance, there’s plenty of options offered to the player and it’s not so obvious what path is optimal at first. Now, will you seek a more defensive route and unlock police Mims to fight off threats as soon as possible? Or maybe start off by growing a few more plants to boost resource production? Mims go tired and unhappy very easily, will you grown them a home so that they can rest and work more efficiently, or will you go straight ahead to research and produce cattle in order to generate gems, the game’s currency? And what about that electricity, required to keep your colony fully functional?
Your starting resources are limited, and there’s no way to generate more too quickly, or at least that was the case in the 5 levels I played. So, after a somewhat gentle learning curve you’re on your own to pursue the strategy you think is best to complete your missions. So, the game plays in real-time and you can adjust the speed but you can’t pause the game to assess the situation and give a few orders while the game is paused, for example. You need to do base building, resource management, look after your minions while you devise the best strategy to achieve each mission’s objectives. The game starts a bit slow with a couple of tutorial missions where you’re taught the basics. Here’s my first impressions after completing 4 of those missions and quitting on the 5th, not really in a fed up boring way, but because I was surprised by it, had to restart and decided to call it quits. The Mims Beginning is currently on Steam’s Early Access program, offering a campaign with 12 of promised 20 or so missions. As in other god games, your task is to look after your loyal servants while they work towards accomplishing goals that will ultimately lead you to finish a mission, or level. Or so I understood, as the story is told in a very light-hearted humor, but it should be mostly it. The story is about the Mims, which somehow got marooned and now seek to find and assemble the parts needed to construct a space ship in order to return home. It looks interesting and plays out on an original setting where your mission is to grow plants, harvest fruit, raise cattle and then sell it in the intergalactic market.

This is a science fantasy strategy game where you control the fate of bizarre and odd humored creatures called Mims, which dwell in a strange galaxy full of floating islands. What’s different about this game, and the main reason it caught my interest in the first place, is its bizarre nature. God games are in short supply these days, especially science fiction ones, so it was refreshing to know about The Mims Beginning.
