Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
At first glance it looks like a retro-inspired vehicle combat game set in a ruined future, but after spending time with it, the experience reveals itself as a surprisingly thoughtful blend of action shooter mechanics, settlement management, tower defense strategy, and resource-driven survival systems.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
It’s colorful, has a nice Borderlands-inspired art style, and feels very welcoming from the first minute.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
Not a lot of levels but all very replayable, and the difficulty curve is decent.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
6 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
It can be dead simple (the additional weapons help), but I really actually enjoy how the devs were really clever to vary up how the NOISE slightly vary or creep around the attack path.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
Juicy, fun, sound design, (and sound-design); I don't like tower defense gameplay but the expansionist, colony management, island-based approach, combined with the adorable theme of reclaiming the world for humans, makes this a really worthwhile game.
