True, I am one of these persons, that are excited about base building and rogue lites. So I am the perfect target audience for this. That is why I forgot my principles and bought an early access game. But this game is just great. No it is not great for an early access, it is just great. It is easily worth the money if they would stop developing it now. It is not one of these early access titles, that have a good base but never managed to get a game out of it, it is a blast to play right now. Even better though, the opposite is the case. The devs are insanely active every few weeks there is new stuff to explore. They are active in their reddit, take in bug reports over multiple channels and seem to have understood, what makes the game special.
I just coming back to this game, especially since the dlc was released. Rimworld should be played in the commitment mode, although you will wish for a reload constantly. But without that possibility the Rimworld magic happens, for example just yesterday: Quest was running to house a noble guest and his 3 fellows. Another quest popped up where I should distract an army, but would get 5 bowmen to help me. I thought my 4 people colony could be defended by 13 people now, easy... First two waves of the army gone without a problem. Some diggers entered from the side, no problem. I was waiting for the final wave and did not saw that a dead body of a digger stuck in a door and was holding it open. So the the last wave did not enter through my main defences but through that now open side. Still an easy fight but one of the fellows of the noble guys got injured. 2 days later he died from an infection. I lost not only the quest but my royal reputation dropped by half. That is the kind of story Rimworld writes!
