How it feels

A blend of strategic base-building and tense first-person survival where death has real consequences and robotic companions help you recover.

What players say

Players praise the foundation but warn there is little content, comparing it to a demo or extended tutorial. The solo developer is unusually responsive, personally addressing bug reports within hours. Performance is notably solid. Players split on whether the slow updates are forgivable for a long-term buy or whether it should have been a demo first.
