“I was enjoying the game, but noticed small things that kept nagging at me. Road placement, awful. Pathing, not great. I think that this game is soooo close to being great, but I just can't recommend it at this point.…”
“A promising castle/settlement builder with some nice mechanics. It's let down by feeling unpolished and still feeling very Early Access despite it's 1.0 release. Pros: - Simple build and mechanics - Decent graphics and…”
“I really enjoy this game. I played in the early, early access and just returned to play the post 1.0 version. Unfortunately, this game crashes my PC reliably. If I quit the game to Main Menu, it crashes. If I don't…”

“Barely more than a few hours worth of entertainment. No real story or campaign just the same thing over and over with random maps. AI Pathing sucks pretty bad. Melee is pretty pointless. I have had a wave spawn inside…”

— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“It is sad. I loved this game but for some reason for the 1.0 release, they decided to remove features.
