This game INSANE difficulty is better balanced that Tempest Rising. Need any more reason? It is almost cost as much as Beyond All Reason. But do you have loot there?

This game is honesly so good. I remember watching someone play this game back in my childhood and I loved it. I eventually found this game again and it was as beautiful as I lost it. I havent gotten very far but its so fun. The lore is also quite fun. I cant wait to finish it.

A very well made indie game, I love the idea of a insectoid hivemind in a fantasy setting instead of a sci-fi setting for once, using magic and artifacts while still being completely insectoid and swarm based. All around a very good game, though I think it would do well to add a skirmish against AI to help with the replayability aspect
