EDIT: Windowed mode has been added! Saves are there! Love the game, totally recommended :) <<Old: pretty strange choice not to let people save inside the mission, mission could take long hours, and it is superfrustrating to drop the game that actually went very promising because you have to do some other stuff in your life. Also, please make Windowed mode, I can't move the game on my big secondary screen.>>

Fun additive roguelike with a lot of good strategy, It's a little part Wall World and a little part Deep Rock Galactic. If you are looking for a game with bugs, turrets, giant worms, aliens worlds, mining, finding rare minerals, sweet-unlockables, building good starting strats, planning a defense and nail biting attack waves filled with deadly carnage including lots of bugs and dead space miners. Well then, I'd recommend it. It's a good one for roguelike, indie, and DRG players.

fun game but DESPERATELY needs an in progress save. You will make zero progress unless you can dedicate 1-2 hours to completing a level.

Sept. 2024

Little fun game with one MAJOR drawback - it's EXTREMELY time-consuming. Based on my experience, 150-200m run will take approximately 1~1.5 hours. If you want to go deeper and fulfill various qualifications - prepare to spend up to 3 hours per run. What's important - you CANNOT save mid-game. That's the biggest problem I can see with this game so far.

Updating my review a bit. Honestly, this game is better than the demo version. The upgrade system allows you to enhance your overall play style with your troops and your platform. The qualifications section is essentially "unlock buildings via challenges". Maybe the end ones are going to be tricky. But the overall qualifications progress is well balanced. And then we have the platform preset, another really thought out idea. Essentially if you have a preferred set of buildings and turrets, you can save up to 5 preferred buildings. this allows you to play with your favorites as well as try specific ideas out. Lastly, currently in early access, there are 2 types of maps "caverns and ice planet" and both have different monster and environmental designs that require different approaches and strategies. Well done devs. YOU NERDS
