  • story
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally well-received, with many praising its interesting and well-written narrative, engaging atmosphere, and character development, despite some predictability and occasional bugs. While the combat is often described as boring or clumsy, the overall storytelling and world-building are highlighted as standout features that enhance the game's appeal. Players express a desire for bug fixes and further exploration of the story in future installments.

    • “The story is not one of the ones everyone is using and brings life to the game, making it feel very genuine. I can't wait to continue watching the story and character growth.”
    • “Outstanding story-rich game.”
    • “The story and dialogue are the highlights; the RPG elements are generally too good for such a small game.”
    • “I can't believe artists put so much effort into their design, world building, storytelling, etc., then let an incompetent keypuncher set it all on fire so that nearly nobody will bother past the intro.”
    • “The story is largely predictable but there are some surprises for sure, so I will rate the story as a good one.”
    • “We need bug fixes and a continuation of the story, or another story in this universe!”
  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising the unique tactical time-slow combat mechanic that allows for strategic planning, while others criticize the overall execution as frustrating and lacking depth. Many players find the exploration and combat loops disappointing, describing the mechanics as clunky and overly simplistic, akin to mobile game quality. Overall, the game offers intriguing elements but struggles to maintain player engagement.

    • “The combat system is a standout, employing a tactical time-slow mechanic where enemies move only when you do.”
    • “If you enjoy sci-fi games with deep world-building and clever combat mechanics, this one is worth keeping an eye on!”
    • “It's a cool game with a combat mechanic that makes things pretty easy: one has to have the faster trigger to shoot first, move quickly to a nearby location (to avoid the counter shot), shoot again, and so on until the robot dies, which turns the battles into a clicking festival.”
    • “Likewise, it boasts point-and-click mechanics but fails to provide the most basic hot spot key.”
    • “Frustration comes easily and naturally, especially when the rest of the gameplay loops do not manage to support a sense of interest or engagement whatsoever.”
    • “The majority of the gameplay will be spent exploring and fighting - both equally disappointing.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The idea is nice, the aesthetics and visuals are also very good, and the sound design (effects and soundtrack) is on point.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally praised, with fast location loading and smooth movement even on lower-spec systems. However, the user interface is less effective on touchscreens, requiring excessive clicks due to the lack of mouse-over and drag functionalities.

    • “Unexpectedly well optimized, locations load fast and there's no stuttering when moving, despite my specs being lower than required.”
    • “The UI is optimized for touchscreens but requires too many clicks, as it doesn't utilize mouse-overs or mouse drags effectively.”
    • “The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to frequent frame drops and long loading times.”

    • “Quite a lot of replayability as things may unfold differently depending on your actions.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players criticize the grinding aspect of the game, describing it as tedious and unfulfilling, contributing to an overall negative experience with its roguelike and RPG elements.

    • “This game fails at everything it attempts: a weak roguelike, a tedious adventure-quest, and a shallow RPG.”
    • “The grinding in this game is mind-numbing and feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”
    • “I spent hours grinding for resources, only to find that the rewards were not worth the effort.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its ability to create amusing scenarios, such as dodging bullets and orchestrating chain reactions that pit enemies against one another, making gameplay both strategic and entertaining.

    • “This makes dodging bullets and setting up hilarious chain reactions, like turning enemies against each other, both strategic and wildly entertaining.”
