Gemini Lost Game Review

Gemini Lost is a fabulous real time simulation game, just like Virtual Villagers, where you direct the lives of a group of stranded time travelers, building a new civilization and helping them survive long enough to work out how they can go home from their astral prison. Graphics are outstanding on this title, and while the game play is a lot similar to Virtual Villagers, there is a freshness with exciting twists on what was a very popular strategy game.

The story takes you into the lives of a group of young people who are lured into a field by a strange and mysterious light beam, caused by a solar eclipse. They stumble across an ancient astrological site and while they fiddle with a symbolic relic, are teleported to an unihabited and unchartered land. Was it just an accident or a clever astrological plan to teleport these young people, with the goal of populating a deserted paradise. Stranded and confused, you must direct their lives and help them find pieces of the zodiac keys which will enable them to return to earth.

The aim of Gemini Lost is to return the lost people to earth by finding Zodiac Keys, which will help you unlock certain puzzles. In true strategy game planning, you will need to not only feed your population for them to survive, you also need to grow the population so that the Zodiac keys can be found. Some are hidden under bushes that need to be eaten by animals, or the characters will need to build a raft to cross a stream to pick up one of the required Zodiac keys. There will be sciences required to achieve certain functions before performing other tasks, so careful planning is always the best strategy.

All characters have their own personality with distinct likes and dislikes. You must try to mate compatible characters and perform weddings. All adults can perform all work requiredyet those who like that certain job will perform the work better. Sciences must be studied so that certain buildings or tools can be aquired, so it will pay to have many adult scientists within the group.

A very detailed yet enjoyable and entertaining game, Gemini Lost also has some mini games that break up the pace of the game and is a casual game that can be replayed over and over, depending on the moves you make during each sitting. Perhaps the biggest fault is the fact that when you stop playing and shut down, the game characters continue to perform whatever tasks you have assigned. This is good in one regard as you can have many resources at your disposal on returning to the game, or it can be annoying because of the slower game pace while playing. Thankfully there are options, Pause, Slow, or Normal modes, to suit the time that you may be away from the game.

Highly recommend Gemini Lost to all. Perhaps the best way to see if it is too similar to virtual Villagers for you is to try the free download, but it does become quite compelling to continue within the free hour. Nice graphics, lovable characters, good tasks to perform and a well balanced game without glitches.
