It's kinda like Farcry Primal but with robots and guns. At start. And then it kinda starts going more and more into just scifi with swords ("spear", but you swing it like a sword like a dummy). I've enjoyed it thus far. It's not amazing, but enjoyable nonetheless.
The scifi horror mood is amazing in this top-down roguelike survival(?) shooter. It's barely a roguelike, but it's there. It does what it is here for really well tho. Don't expect super deep mechanics like some roguelike classics, but far more than some roguelites around. No mandatory metaprogression!
Completely unplayable with a gamepad currently. Hard to say much more on the game since I can't get to it due to this.
The game uses the rather poorly supported SSE 4.2 instruction set, which was introduced with Nehalem and Bulldozer architectures. There's still plenty people with older CPUs than those that support only up to SSE4a (e.g. AMD Phenom CPUs). I'm sure the game is lovely, if I could only play it. Maybe in a five or more years when I can afford new computer.
An intriguing game, really. But... The lack of tutorial makes it a necessity for me to lose several first games before I grasp the basics like maintaining and not totally annihilating passion, reason, health, and money. Some of the UI elements are a bit clunky and difficult to read and organize and works much like a Virtual Tabletop dedicated for this single game but for some reason doesn't have much helpers to make life easier with the game. The worst times are when the new elements popping up on the table just spill out all over the place, sometimes over and around your nicely arranged core gameplay area, sometimes so far away from it you won't even notice them unless you frequently zoom out to just check for such instances. The sound effects and/or music are a bit strange. I keep constantly hearing a repeating sound effect that on occasion wouldn't be bad, but as it's playing like a grandfather clock, it gets irritating. I think it was some weird and exactly same creaking noise that occurred every 3 seconds or so without failing. Auto-pause would be really nice on finishing of the timers, especially if you could individually set them for each one, currently I need to watch for them finishing like a hawk to hit the pause so I don't waste resources. Besides all that, the writing is interesting and really the only interesting part of the game. The transition from the start to the cult management seemed quite out of nowhere. I was working the days and trying to find meaning for my life and suddenly my character is managing a cult with no hint in between that I was aiming for such. Did I miss something? As final words, there's a lot of random elements in the game, some of which seems there just for the sake of randomness. Some actions are not very obvious on what they do unless you read everything very carefully, as I noticed one of my actions that I had thought was simple investigation actually involved downgrading my card. I feel like I need a wiki for this.
Pretty good colony survival game, tho I really wish my dwarves actually ate. They're practically drowning in food because people refuse to eat or transport the food that is being prepared. Outside of that gripe, it's kinda neat mix between Terraria and Kingdom. Not much else to say on it. It has dwarves, lots of green things, occasionally nonsensical tech tree (advanced furniture leads to better weapons, armor and tools).... Without the gripe mentioned at start, I'd up my rating to 4 at the very least.
This is not a good review, but I'm just noting that the game doesn't seem to get patches outside of Steam. I wouldn't support the dev Anywhere before they get their act together on this. It's a nice game tho, so is their newest game I hear, but I just can't just overlook this kind of behavior.
