Description
A top secret Soviet space mission set out to colonize a planet in a remote galaxy, far away from home. The settlers built there a small communist heaven which exists to this day. As one of the leaders, your goal is to guide the settlers on this new, yet strangely familiar terrain.
In Red Outpost, players get to control all of the settlers, each time a different one. You must expertly manage the resources and choose the jobs carefully so as not to upset the settlers: Keeping up morale is of utmost importance if you want to become the most prolific leader!

Quotes (from this video)
- Looking at some of the weird and wacky stuff that's out there that you might not have seen before
- I'd rather play a game that's so bad I can laugh at it than a game I just want to stop playing cuz I'm bored
- This is a ludicrous game for ludicrous people
- I can't think of many things more wholesome in terms of theme than a game like dogs
- Red Outpost is a really different take on the worker placement genre and for that reason alone I recommend checking it out

- they're essentially just more complex versions of the last.
- it feels like it's a bigger game that was streamlined and streamline is often very good, but this one I felt almost a little streamlined too much.
