I just enjoy build such complex structures from buildings. Their variety and look is awesome. Game is like some kind of easy Dwarf Fortress. You can build amazing structures, redo landscape or loose your settlement like in Dwarf Fortress but with beautiful graphics, great performance (for my 2.5 years old PC, at least) and beavers. Also, game simulates water movement very realistic and I am just admire that because I know how hard it is to program. Despite being in development, this game is already better than, for example, Settlers. Well done, 10 of 10.
The game little hard at the beginning (maybe because I failed to handle UI at that time) but it is very enjoyable. Pros: 1. Setting. It is very original and I always thinked "How they ever imagined this?" when played. E.g. concept of underworld space, "stars", very extraordinary creatures, all of this very interesting. 2. UI. Maybe they fixed old issues but I find nothing wrong when played using keyboard/mouse. Maybe I just too experienced with roguelikes. 3. Gameplay. I really enjoyed that. Each dwarf has absolutely unique playstyle and tactics and you need to exploit all of them to survive. It is really refreshing compared to the common "press X to the win (or press it with correct timings)". Active pause is very useful and require less good reaction from player, my main issue with shooters and some slashers. Combination of 3 dwarves and creative usage of environment provide great variability of possible tactics and solutions. 4. Locations. They are very beautiful and alien. I liked it from very start and enjoyed until the end. Cons: 1. In stealth missions (there are a lot of them), Shadow (thief) is felt as overpowered and other dwarves are mostly useless. 2. Smashfists (berserker) single-hero chapter takes place in swamps where playing with hime less interesting. Other dwarf chapers are more suited to their abilities. Overall, it is a game which should be tried by everyone.
