Chaz at Twinfinite writes, Somewhere between the city-building of SimCity and the global control of Populous or other god games, we find Imagine Earth. Taking a few elements from each of these game styles, it distills them into a simplified, easy to grasp version. The player is cast into the role of one of many newly-hired planetary colony-builders, with the tutorial planet, a small orb named Tuto, acting as an introduction to the games mechanics as well as the in-game hiring test. The question at the core of this though, is does it work to take these familiar elements, throw in some new twists, and boil them all down into such rudimentary form?
