“This game has the most SATISFYING visual effect, sound, and feel ever ... also the power fantasy and the experience grinding is very satisfying very polished and feel great to play .... a hidden gem”

“Very addictive game that knows what it wants to be: a shoot and loot with crafting, character skill building, and increasing difficulty. I found myself looping back through locations just to see what would drop as the…”
“Pretty fun game, lots to do, great amount of loot. Wondering what's next and what will be expanded upon. Also very good replay value for the cost.”

“So, on second though, no, this game is too rough to be called good. Too RNG dependent and far too grindy. No one wants to play any level 10 times to progress let alone many levels. Sorry. there is an honest effort here,…”
“Had fun at first until it stopped being fun. Not fond of HP bloat.”
“The game is interesting and I like the mechanics. That being said, I do not understand all the mechanics, and I feel the game could explain them to me better. 4 hours into the game I see no point in ever using ranged…”

“It's a good game, scratching that same itch that Xcom 2 did. I do hope the dev will make a 1 click button to allow to sell all junk in the base vendor”

“In a world filled to the brim with zombie survival games, even many turned base games, this is set apart. It has an addictive gameplay style that I am really enjoying so far. Played it for hours straight and can't wait…”

“Enjoyed the game in early access and relearning it after release. Lots of fun little details through the game. There is a learning curve in the game, and at one point I thought my self invincible lol, and then got wiped out in a new location. But fun game overall”
— a player, Steam review · 64 hrs played“This game is a true labour of love. So many little details/animations and character Pics remind me of the good old days. The Weapons and Skills are brilliant and the enemies are varied and sometimes quite funny. Lots to see and do and extremely addictive. Go on ... give it a…”
— a player, Steam review · 54 hrs played“It’s hard to explain exactly what this game is, and that’s one of the reasons I decided to try it. Basically, it’s a turn‑based tactical RPG that uses card-deck systems and mechanics, with base and resource management on top of that. All of it is packed into a quirky 80s-vibe…”
