I wish I could do a "maybe" on this. The game feels solid enough but it's the same Dev that abandoned Crea, so be careful with this.

The game is currently well done and I plan to put more hours into it as I figure things out, but it's kinda' all over the place and given the way the game is, it's hard to set up good factories. There are a lot of unexplained things, like the material refiner. Nowhere does it say to get metal you need to insert iron ingot - you just have to guess. It actually shows the icon for 'metal' as the thing you insert to get metal. That's an example of some of the weird things in the game. It's trial and error, which is okay for EA, I suppose.

Yes, I do recommend it but I do so cautiously. I hope the dev learned from the failures of Crea (though honestly, I wish he'd finished it because it was a cool concept).

This game does offer a fresh take on automation games. It is NOT as god as factorio, as some reviewers suggest, but it is neat.

I've also read that if the procgen does you dirty, you'll run out of your base materials like iron and such - to me, that's unacceptable for a game like this. That needs to be fixed, for sure.

Also, this game would definitely benefit from a workshop.

Cool game, though. I think $15 is a good price for it. Maybe $20 w/inflation, but I wouldn't pay more than that for it.

The game is nice, relaxing, gorgeous, and well made. The reason I won't recommend it? It should cost about $4.99. The price tag, for what you get, is just too much.

Maybe over time, if they add more stuff to it, can justify it, but right now there's very, very, very little to do. There's very, very little customization at all. Not worth what they're asking.

Great game, though. Very relaxing. I won't refund it because I think the game is great, but without more to the game, it's not worth what they're asking.

Stacking the stacked, flipped, swapped, and turned shapez is pure satisfaction.

Buy it.

This game could be better with more to do, but I recommend it because it's addictive and is VERY satisfying to chew up planets. It's like power-washing or something - very satisfying. So satisfying, I'm about to play it again from scratch even though I beat it already.

I'm surprised by how many positive reviews the game has because if you boil it down to its core gameplay, there's really nothing here.

It's the same map, same progression, same enemies, same skillsets over and over and over and over again. I noticed this about 2 hours into the game. I wanted to play a little longer to see if grabbing a few new classes would help, but nope. This game is the same. It's all same same.

I just did a run for over an hour, choosing the same things over and over and over again with minor increases to keep up with the horde and there was no end to it in sight so I chose the portal to take me back to the menu. I completed 6 map runs in one go and was killing the Void guys in under 10 seconds.

There was no "build" or "thought" that went into it. I had golems to taunt, purify to heal and did a smattering of multi-cast, cast frequency, health, and area. Too easy. Way, way, way too easy.

Even if it was hard, the game wouldn't be fun and I couldn't recommend it because it has no soul, no character, nothing unique about it.

The game is overpriced for what you get.

It's fun for about 2-3 hours and then you realize just how shallow it is. Nothing changes. The maps are just different skins. That's it.

It's b-o-r-i-n-g once you get an OP build. It's really boring. Just go around in a circle, facing the guys taunted by your golems and win. It's dumb.

I put "no" on recommend because I NEED the devs to see this.

First, the game is fantastic, tbh. It's laggy as heck, even with a ridiculous internet (which I have), but aside from the occasional glurp, it's phenomenal. I love, love, love Warframe and this is basically that, but unfortunately without sliding and acrobatics (please add).

But I cannot - WILL NOT - recommend this game until they fix the flippin' AMMO DROPS. Oh, my gurd.

FIX THE AMMO DROPS - THIS IS A LOOTER SHOOTER WHERE YOU WILL RUN OUT OF AMMO 3 MINUTES INTO A MISSION AND BE SCREWED

Once you fix this, I will change my review. I have two High-powered round weapons and they just don't get ammo drops. Not from the enemies and not from the resource boxes and not from the replenish bot.

And what's up with the replenish bot?? I use it, wait 5 seconds to use again and it says I can't get anymore, despite it not filling up my ammo. If ammo drops are going to be so scarce, the least you could do is have the replenish bot replenish ALL ammo in one go, or, make us do it for one weapon, wait for cooldown, swap to other weapon, replenish, rinse repeat.

But nope - I run around with 3 guns, 2 of which are constantly empty and one of which has a decent enough resupply but that I can still run out mid-mission and be totally screwed.

This is a completely borked design decision and it needs to be fixed. I will not recommend until you fix it. I just won't.

And honestly I don't know why the reviews are "mixed" because, really, aside from an overpriced shop, the game is f2p and it really is a lot of fun grinding, upgrading, dismantling, etc. It's an awesome game that needs some QoL things and additional tutorials for some of the other meta systems within the game, but the game really is good.

Is it a good game? Yes, it really is a good game. But, it's more of a point-and-click than a puzzle game. A lot of the puzzles are just rehashed versions of the same puzzle over and over again.

It looks great and I enjoyed my time in it but I really don't see it as a "puzzle" game. Sometimes it's frustrating because you will have clicked on things to turn them and they do nothing, but because you didn't "just" click the thing, you didn't "pick it up". It's kinda' silly and unnecessary.

But I still recommend it, especially on sale.

My thumbs down should not be taken as I dislike the game. I actually quite like the game,

BUT ...

There are so many basic things that need to be fixed, which I think they are probably going to address as development progresses.

There's almost nothing you can do to prevent Spaghetti. If you're familiar with this genre, you know what I mean.

Also, the back ups are currently not fixable.

The roads are WAAAAAY too short. I should also be able to add "nodes" wherever I want to. If they want a 'minimum' distance between nodes, fine, but then give us an unlimited length of road and the ability to slap down nodes later.

The "cars" should be tweaked to not only move faster, but to transfer faster.

The game is cool, but the options currently available don't allow you to really fix anything. It also kinda' feels like a puzzle game rather than a resource management game or city builder.

Anyway, I will recommend the game after I see implementation of better things, but until then, I'm passing along a no vote. To be clear, though, I will buy this game when it comes out. It is nice and otherwise well made. I have faith in the devs to fix this stuff.

This game far exceeds the capabilities of a massive corporation with 10s of millions to spend on the development of said game, with multiple developers working in conjunction with each other, yet this game was built by 1 person?

Wt actual f?

Um, this game is already so well developed and executed that the dev should charge $49.99 - $59.99 for the darned thing. No, seriously, it's that high quality.

This game has so many moving parts and mechanics that it has a steep learning curve but while I keep restarting, I enjoy just watching the game unfold because it's absolutely gorgeous. Wow.

As much as I enjoyed this game, I won't support a developer (or publisher) that is abusive and exploitative. The leader of Chucklefish allegedly had kids working on this game, for free. They told musicians they wouldn't be paid to score the game and when they bucked against working for free, the leader flipped out and went on a screed.

Chucklefish -- laughable. Never again, Chucks. Never again.
