How it feels

A modest, tactical survival game about defending a base through resource gathering and upgrades, with a clear day-night cycle and a growing monster threat.

What players say

Players describe this as a decent free student project with satisfying shooting and good music, but widespread performance issues and a heavy GPU requirement frustrate many. Reviews are split: some enjoy it as a base defense time-waster, while others find it too difficult, grindy, or buggy beyond day 40, with progression-breaking issues like lost saves and an ammo box bug.
