What players say
Players describe a game with a promising concept that was abandoned in a buggy, unfinished state. The core idea is praised but execution is crippled by crashes, broken mechanics like stuck miners and unrepairable buildings, and UI problems that make late game unplayable. Most agree development stalled after a rushed 1.0 release.
