“While the concept isn't exactly new, it's a nice combination of a few genres and feels good. I like the variety of units, the metaprogression, and the in-run progression. I wish they'd improve a few UI quibbles, but it's still pretty good. I quite enjoyed it!”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“This is a shallower reskin of Factorio, there is nothing wrong with that if this type of game still feeds the dopamines, for me it just seems like boring work that leads to the same eventual conclusion with a vague pretense of freedom.”
