How it feels

A deliberate, grim survival strategy game where you lead a scrappy crew through a hostile wasteland, balancing scarce resources and tactical combat against factional warfare.

What players say

Players call it a sci-fi sandbox RPG with a living economy and dynamic faction wars, often comparing it to Battle Brothers but noting it is not a clone. Opinions split: some praise the deep trading and tactical combat, while others find it unfairly luck-based with poor writing and a steep early difficulty curve.
