You'll play through some unbalanced battles, and you'll need to continuously pray to the RNG god :(.
Recommended Mar 9, 2021
Good game, not worth 10 dollars though so get it on sale or in a bundle like I did. Very similar to the other games in the series, the only real difference is the maps. I would say its also a lot easier than some of the other games in the series for the most part, but a couple of the levels were really challenging on historical hard difficulty. All of your troop combat actions rely on the luck of a dice roll so your success largely relies on your positioning.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
