How it feels

a tense, methodical cooperative puzzle where you feel the weight of each decision as you push back an encroaching tide of colonists.

What players say

Players say this is a faithful but unforgiving adaptation that catches rule mistakes you made playing the physical version. The interface frustrates some with poorly explained prompts and barely visible targets, while the DLC is widely criticized as overpriced, rarely discounted the way the base game is.
