“It's a fun game for a bit, but completely abandoned by the devs and there will never be expansion There's the bones of a good game here, but its just lacking the extra sauce that it needs and it'll never get it”
“I can't make any progress because of frequent crashing. I like a lot of janky games, but this is advanced silliness. Spend $20 on something else.”
