What players say

Players are split on Link. Many praise its base management and turn-based combat, comparing it to FTL and This War of Mine, but most agree the fixed 800x600 resolution is a dealbreaker. Some call it brutally hard and unbalanced, while others find it rewarding once the learning curve is overcome.
