Early Access Review
Single player is listed as a feature, but constructions require fuel in a bonfire or they decay as long as the server is running, something like Rust.

I regret purchasing the game, I wasn't aware that it would have semi-mmo arbitrary stress and chore mechanics because of the way it's advertised. I'm not interested in that, and I don't want to tweak the settings and try to balance the game myself to get a tolerable experience as if this were ARK. It's the developers job to deliver a balanced experience.

Just because a game lets you start up an offline server with only one player, does not make it single player. Every game would fit that criteria. This game should not have single player listed as a feature, it's fundamentally designed around public server mechanics.

Picross + Raden. Two of my emotional crutches, nonograms and Hololive, unexpectedly combined.
This is an excellent and polished Picross game, as expected from Jupiter. Raden is rendered with excellent spritework and she recorded lots and lots of voiceover for this game.
10/10

Requested a refund. The game lists pronouns including they/them for characters in the game. To each their own, but I don't want to be involved with culture war stuff, it makes me uncomfortable. I would not have purchased it if I knew that was the case.
To the devs: if you really want to be inclusive, just don't explicitly identify anyone's pronouns. That leaves the player free to project however they see fit. I don't have a problem with ambiguity or androgynous characters. You've made an explicit decision to identify your characters as gender-nonconforming.

If you don't mind cringe politics and you like trains, this seems like it would be pretty cool. You might like it. I really like sorting trash into the correct bins, that's a fun feature.

This is the best game in this genre that I've tried. The milestone constructions and travelling to new areas feels good and the production and supply chain system is easy to use.

I like that expanding the village isn't locked behind quests or levels.

Very good lane game with a fun in game gacha mechanic for unlocking troop types. Obviously, features Hololive talents and their fans and mascots.

Early Access Review
I really like automation and resource management games. Unfortunately I've decided to refund this after maybe 10 minutes. Starting the game up was very slow, the opening cinematic was very choppy, poor frame rate on the main menu.

I started the tutorial and the texture of the moon was EXTREMELY low resolution. I tried to get used to it for a minute while I listened to the NPCs talk, but it was unusually jarring. The way the game is running on my machine, it's too slow and ugly to enjoy. There's no reason this game should be this demanding. No man's sky, Death Stranding, Foundation, Satisfactory all run perfectly on this machine. This game is very poorly optimized.

I'm disappointed. I don't have time to troubleshoot a game that should be running without issue. I hope that performance is improved in the future, I might check it out again some time further along in development. Very disappointed.

Early Access Review
Arena shooters, good proper arena shooters, do not have classes, upgrades, unique abilities and paywalls. It completely ruins the point of the genre. This is a quake inspired game at best.
The microtransactions are also particularly expensive.

Havent played it for long, but there doesn't seem to be much to it. Everything about it screams youtuber bait. You can get everything out of this game by watching some idiot play it online, no need to buy it. They even have some internet personalities doing announcer voices, although some of them are pretty funny.

Being forced to move constantly or lose health doesn't serve any purpose in most of the minigames. The concept and name are both pretty much clickbait for youtube video titles. You almost always want to be moving anyway, and when you don't want to move you just wiggle your control stick back and forth. The games are more frantic than challenging, and none of them seem particularly fresh.

Maybe at something like $3 a copy some friends might want to grab this, but for me even local multiplayer didn't help the games keep my attention. $15 is an outrageous price. I might put a little more time into it, just to be fair, but I can't imagine sitting down to play some games and picking this one in earnest.

This is one of the best games to come out in years and years. Go try it now. There is a lot to learn and improve on as you progress through the game and work on your skills. Few TD games give you the sort of tactical freedom that you have in this game and its up to you to make that work for you. Go try it now, its fantastic.
