“Conceptually amazing! But early access is very accurate, game breaking bugs and alot of issues make the game not worth it ... YET! Some better enemy AI and some attention to bugs will do wonders for the game. Enemies are fantastic design…”
“MEh if on sale MAYBE. Theres just too many issues at this time for me to recommend even in early access. However, i think that game has potential but needs a lot more love before i can recommend at this time”
