It is good
Recommended Jul 5, 2026
A very good game overall if you're into games like Wall World and Dome Keeper, Main difference is that this one has worker management as a core gameplay mechanic where those other games you control a single unit. My main complaint is that it does get grindy and that in higher difficulties it becomes a bit slow, and I wish I could speed it up (even more) with an option to return the speed to normal automatically at the beginning of the night, that or auto digging for miners as a QOL buff, where they prioritize certain minerals, perhaps as an upgrade even.
