“I completed “Part 1,” and the game took all my items, not even letting me keep one. It also took all my plasma, didn’t transfer it to the camp, reset it to 0, and didn’t unlock “Part 2.” Cool. That’s it. I have no…”
“Lovely core concept contained in a quirky world with all kinds of new surprises lurking around every corner. This is a game that rewards you taking your time and really getting yourself into the gritty details. "Good…”

“Ohhhhhh i'm such a sucker for a roguelike with a really, really good central system, and this one is REALLY, REALLY GOOD. Making a machine is so much fun, i've played for 6 hours and done like 10 runs and all of them…”
“Absolut gem of a game, I haven't had this much fun playing a game for ages. GOTY in my book. Simple but deep game loop Many things to try Minimal RNG Background music creating great atmosphere”

“Got this game during a rogue-like sale and has been one of my favorite roguelikes i've played so far. Battle system is fun and unlock system is paced well. typically unlock a new 1-2 items every run and new characters…”
“Being an engineer, I couldn't pass up picking up an engineering roguelike. The dev is active with the community and always working on improving an already excellent game. Very nice metaprogression, ways to mitigate bad…”

“I absolutely love this game, it's * chewy with really interesting choices both on a moment-moment basis and across runs * satisfying (great sound and visual design that's really impactful) * full of great characters…”
“Great implementation of a tinkering-centered "deck" building with an amazing character design both in terms of visuals and their abilities — all of them are unique, and what's most important, all are fun to play”

“so, i found this game from the Youtuber Olexa, and I am really glad I did. Initially it was somewhat overwhelming, circuit based combats a new one for me. But I'm about nine hours in and it's starting to click for me.…”

“I think this game would be better if they were to get plugged in with the Game Doctor, instead of falling into the loop of "consumer feedback will tell me everything I need to know to make my game successful".…”
“There's just something off with this game. Maybe it's the atrocious UI and purposefully grimy interface, but that paired with confusing tool tips and unintuitive icons for items just makes it too much of an energy drain…”
“Health is a resource, sensors are crazy, and it sucks to hit run and then realize you have not connected something important”

“fun and unique, could do with some work around localisation and QoL though. E.g crust reads as first energy to break it, but if you feed 2 energy via 1 wire the second doesn't go through. Should be worded to specify…”

“very unique and challenging game. The characters are all very different gameplay wise, meta unlocks make the game easier as expected - but you can win runs without these upgrades. (All the roguelikes that dont let you win runs without upgrades can suck a fat on) The dev worked…”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“Easy recommend as-is, even before the final 1.0 update. An unusual take on the roguelike genre, kind of like a deckbuilder, except in all the ways it isn't like a deckbuilder at all. Takes things in a completely new direction, which it explores to great depth with a host of…”
