Decent, but there's no information about how certain units and buildings interact which (given that that is the whole game) is a problem. For example I just had an enemy unit in range of a tower for four turns and the tower did nothing. Why? The compendium for either of those units doesn't tell you, which wouldn't be a biggie if I hadn't spent hours on this campaign only to be defeated some new, secret rule on the last level. It was infuriating enough that I doubt I will play again.

Thanks for the detailed feedback — we’re really sorry the experience left you frustrated, especially so late in the campaign. The compendium should make interactions clear, so we’ll review those entries to improve them. If you can share a screenshot or video, we’d love to investigate. You can reach us on Discord or at support@shortcircuitstudio.com

A 500 character word limit for a review? Nooooo!!! Team, I must say, your game is brilliant! What a joy to play! Please don't be discouraged by these negative comments. People will invest in what they like and believe in, and this was well worth the money for me. I've completed the campaign three times now on survival difficulty! (Once with Northsmen and twice with Imperium). I have much to say, but this character limit though 😪 I'll just email my suggestions. Looking forward to updates!

I have had this game for about two days now and have quite enjoyed playing it. The UI is clean and simple to understand and navigate. The tutorials do help a lot to understand the game mechanics and the objectives are made clear. I do enjoy the puzzles as it helps to give an idea of what the game play is like however, I did find that once your colony is well established, the choices that you made had very little impact on your village and would lose its challenging aspect. Overall Great game.
