“the new town is just a very weird addition to the game. more mining would have been better. if you get this, stick to the gas station. That's at least a solid 8hrs of engaging gameplay. The mechanics of the game are just suboptimal for the combat of the city.”
— a player, Steam review · 27 hrs played“it's alright for a digging game. needs some optimization though, as performance starts to drop once you dig out enough of the area. there's also a weird bug where mutants spawn on top of your base, sometimes they'll instantly start attacking and other times they'll just stand…”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“Pretty straightforward "dig down" type of game, satisfying digging animations but the tower defence part got pretty old fast.”
