Genre puts it alongside Moonbase Alpha, and so does deep simulation, a sandbox world and single-player focus. The common ground extends to a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is progression and visuals: resource management and 2D presentation.

On paper it is what Moonbase Alpha is — deep simulation, strong narrative focus and open world exploration — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. Both also lean on single-player focus and a third-person camera. The distance is in progression and visuals — its own ground is resource management and an isometric view.
