1/10 grind of all grinds....3 found this helpful
After few updates the game is really good now.2 found this helpful
Imagine having an achievement that requires you to deletes your save and whole progress if you didn't do it first thing when starting the game while having no idea how the game works. Also another dev who is not helpful at all and can't even respond to people asking what upgrades even do. Enjoy your negative review1 found this helpful
Having powered through the game with will and obstinacy alone, there is no depth or layer to it. What you see when you open it is what you'll have when all upgrades are maxed, albeit higher numbers of everything and *severe* performance issues (constant frame drops, everything turning into a slideshow, etc.) At least the game is free, though RSI is not :)1 found this helpful
I'm a fan of the genre and this bored me to death. The one review that praises the game has nearly 200 hours. Everyone else can't stand the pacing. Weird that. Fake reviews are against the TOS.
I did not enjoy any part of this game. Everything feels like chore. Upgrades are not satisfying.
