Players note that once they have optimized their setups, they can adjust game speed for a more efficient experience, allowing for faster gameplay. However, they may need to readjust strategies to effectively manage enemy routes within their optimized layouts.
“At that point, you'll have to readjust to the new routes or do your best to funnel the enemies back into your optimized death tunnels.”
“In the later game, once your setup is pretty optimized, you may want to adjust the game speed faster (you can do this at any time with a slider).”
“In the later stages of the game, once your setup is optimized, you may want to adjust the game speed to be faster using a slider, but it feels like a missed opportunity for deeper optimization.”
“The optimization options are limited, making it difficult to fine-tune your strategy effectively.”
“Despite having an optimized setup, the game still struggles with performance issues that hinder the overall experience.”
