Игра заставляет подумать, редко когда меня игры так увлекают но эта смогла. За счёт отсутствия сюжета и лёгких для понимания механик (где еще и подсказки есть) можно продолжать хоть через месяц, хоть через год. Реиграбельность большая, за счёт разнообразия героев и прокачки между уровнями, хотя я бы хотел побольше уровней, всё таки цепи (ограничения) - это совсем не то, что новые противники. 12 зараженных капибар из 10

It's very fun. Short, simple and easy to understand. There's a lot of challenges you can grind out if that's your thing. Just a really solid game with very solid mechanics.
