Fun, but a bit too simple and short.
Probably best suited to for those who generally don't engage with turn-based games. The mechanics are very simple and the game does not offer a lot of complexity. It is also quite short, but it's probably for the best, because by the end, the game has exhausted pretty much all scenarios it could have thrown at you. You start levels with your "commander" unit (Matriarch) and use her to get the first couple kills, eat corpses for biomass and proceed to spawn your units. The basic spawn can then mutate into 3 sub-types (all cost additional essence). A stealth/assassin unit, a tank unit and a ranged unit. You then use those to go through the levels, usually trying to find a way to dispose of the enemies in a way they don't do any damage to you. There is also one special unit which the Matriarch can make, called Drone, where you can take over one of the civilians and then use it for free scouting as enemies generally don't shoot them. The Matriarch also has large vision range, making her ideal for scouting/spotting. You can also upgrade between missions, each unit having a grand total of 3 upgrades. They can be pretty impactful, making the game even easier. You won't be able to get them all, but can freely swap them if you don't like one of them. The stealth unit is by far the most versatile, the others you will mostly use just to counter specific enemy types. Speaking of which, there are only a couple of them. All enemies also have very limited movement (half of your units'), which makes outplaying them and their pre-scripted patrol routes very simple. The game is presented in a satirical tone (big greedy corporation bad!!!). You play the indigenous species of the planet the big bad corpo came to mine. There is some voice acting for the 2 main baddies, but otherwise, all NPCs just mumble with text bubbles. Zero replayability, but fun for the 6-8 hours it's going to take you to beat the game. Worth it with the 80% discount the game has pretty much all the time.
