Fantastic game with deck building flavour! A lot of levels! I killed two bosses and am very excited. Game difficulty is great: just a bit above mild, no hardcore.. just like I like! Different strategies each level. Nice. You won't loose if you think well, and you have to think a bit.
I bought it with 75% off. I'd probably bought it for a full price if I knew what's inside. I like games that do not take a lot of time.

Early Access Review
Finally a survival game that I like :)
A great combination of mechanics designed for convenience. NPCs can follow you and help with craft!
You can build vehicles like cars, tanks, helicopters, and it is pretty straightforward. Development is fast. Do refinement of stone to get salt ore faster (random ores are extracted from stone) and then build shotgun. There are two places with salt ore but it is hard to get without shotgun.

Some features still have to be improved. Base building is nice and supports triangles! but needs more stuff: impossible to make roof over triangular blocks. I would like to have some quests and friendly NPCs in towns. Now all NPCs are enemies, but you can subdue them. Better automation of NPCs like in rimworld is needed (a simpler version). I want NPCs to make my base feel like a living place and I want them to wear nice clothes. Generally adding more from Sims would be cool :)) and more roleplay with quests would be nice (if NPCs manage economy, then main characters could do more roleplay and exploration).
Some very simple landscaping would be useful: it is hard to find a big even place for foundation and I don't want to use pillars. Using some equipment for digging would be cool. Also I like to build basements but here impossible.

Brilliantly awesome game!

If you like deck building or auto battlers like LOL TFT or Auto-chess or Dota Underloards, then this is a must have!

Two main game types:
1) Build your unique team of multi-class units exploring the dungeon room by room (in a few modes), and after beating the dungeon boss, polish your army and compete with all other players in the world for the best army (everyone builds their army by completing a dungeon).

2) Quick brawls with other players (this is more similar to TFT/Auto-chess).

There are two rating ladders, each with their leagues, for 1st and 2nd game types. Seasons lasting around a month. Developers are constantly monitoring the balance of the game. Very accurate game. Developers take care of details.

Remember to join the discord channel for important tips and tricks after you play for a while (use levers on start locations on floors 1/5/9 to get important mutations in the dungeon for your classes, as well as great tips for your builds).

Disliked after playing tutorial in survival, but liked after playing co-op with my son and other players that are added to the session. Saga feels better than survival, at least to start and get first feelings. The game is great specifically when playing with other people. But other players are not always very cooperative. I hope cooperation becomes better as more people play and progress with their levels.

Generally the game is pretty innovative and I hope this style will be developed in the industry. I like when survival can be played in short rounds with low online. Somelike similar to Icarus BTW.. but Icarus enemies are boring. I wish these games had more NPCs and PVP.

Great game for the whole family! Unfortunately only four players maximum. We'd like it to be at least 8 players, so we could also invite our friends. It is like Sims but much simpler and with multiplayer — I like it very much.
