Thats not an alpha thats a demo. You want a true objective review then just mark your product as what it is A DEMO. And for the idiots who might want to argue just install it an try to save it says: not available in prologue get the full game. In three words: THAT IS DEMO

Игра Drill Deal: Borehole (Alpha) обладает огромным потенциалом, но пока находится на ранней стадии разработки. Первое, что бросается в глаза - это комплексная система управления буровой компанией. Многообразие параметров, которые необходимо учитывать (от зарплаты сотрудников до уровня повреждения оборудования), впечатляет и погружает в геймплей. Однако, интерфейс нуждается в доработке: он перегружен информацией и не всегда интуитивно понятен. Экономическая модель достаточно интересная: приходится постоянно балансировать между прибылью, затратами и техническим обслуживанием. Возможность найма специалистов с разными навыками добавляет глубины стратегии. Тем не менее, в текущей альфа-версии наблюдаются некоторые проблемы с оптимизацией, особенно при строительстве больших комплексов. Также заметны отдельные баги и недоработки, что естественно для альфа-версии. В целом, игра выглядит многообещающе, если разработчики продолжат активно работать над улучшением интерфейса, оптимизацией производительности и устранением ошибок. Рекомендую следить за развитием проекта, так как в будущем Drill Deal: Borehole может стать отличным экономическим симулятором.

This "game" was release in 2020 and it is still in alpha version, so [b]this is like a demo[/b] right now. Otherwise, the base management is good, and even the combat is interesting. Moreover, it's free, so try out by yourself.
