How it feels

A chill, automated simulation where you set policies and tech upgrades while occasionally fending off enemy attacks.

What players say

Players report game-breaking bugs that prevent advancing eras, alongside tiny text and a white background that strain the eyes. The pacing relies on long idle waits, and enemy power scaling feels illogical. Players split on whether the low price excuses the unfinished state.
