Signal Zone

I roughly played the half of the campaign and stoped. Idea is nice, execution is nice, but the game is extremely repetitive, so it became boring quite quick. I think with less then 8 hours for the campaign it will be more of a snack rather than something to keep you for long

Well, I feel like the review options for yes or no is unfair to this game, if there was a "Meh" option, it would be fairly accurate. The problem with this game is that there is some level of RNG involved in the missions, go find something in a mission, well, finding it might be super easy or you can explore 80% of the map and not find it and you might only have time to explore 50% of the map before your time is finished. Sure, there are probably more perfected strategies to search but you get my drift. Also part of the RNG is the chance to find a deposit and what that might be. So you might find a good balance of deposits, you might not. You might only find wood and stone and nothing else. So you can literally lose because you just don't get the RNG. Always makes you feel good when you do everything right and just get stuffed. That said, I also have a big issue with the tech tree. Repeating the same tech tree over and over and over and over and over each mission and its pretty much not even what I would consider research upgrades, just quality of life upgrades. What, you need to upgrade your movement speed from snail to marathon runner each mission, yeah, and the carrying c…

This is a really badass game for what it is: a 2-person studio's first real project (and it's a husband/wife team! That's really neat!). I dig practically everything about this except for some of the music tracks after listening to em for a couple dozen hours. So overall it's a 9.5/10 in the indie category of pixel art, tower defense / RTS / etc. hybrid. Definitely recommend buying this game. The entire setup of the game is impressive to me. It comes off as a highly polished indie studio's first attempt, and they sorta nailed it. It's simple, elegant, engaging, etc.

Fun game, juuuust about worth it on the sale. Hopefully more content in the future, 3 hrs and I feel like I've done it all already.

Fun, quick resource gathering and management base building game focused on defense and completing interesting challenges in the campaign
