Fairly Frustrating
This is a weird little game, the sort they really don't make anymore. It's a 4x-rogue-like-tower-defense-dungeon-crawler with a sci-fi theme. I get the impression is was made for fun in between Endless Space and Endless Legend, but that doesn't mean it's a throwaway game. It's very tightly balanced. Gameplay consists of setting up infrastructure and defenses and then opening up a door. The doors advance the "turn" giving more resources for building and advancement, but also triggers the spawning of monsters. What doors you open will shape the landscape and the route of attack. Everything is randomized, from layout to loot to what you're allowed to advance, and a level can be completed in about 10 minutes. It's hard. It's cheeky and hard. The difficulty levels are "Easy" and "Too Easy" and you'll die on Easy. But it's not hard because it's obtuse or unfair. When you understand the game, when you know how it works, you can beat it, but every turn, every choice, carries with it the possibility of defeat, and then you'll have to start over. Frustrating, but fair. It's not the sort of game I run out and recommend to people, it didn't change my life, but after I bought it (again) I found myself playing it or thinking about it, or wondering what I would discover next. It's a worthy addition to your library, even if it's not "Game of the Year" material.
