A fusion of card-based programming, 2D puzzle and roguelikes. Turn-Based Combat

The game is not as simple as it looks at first glance. To win the last levels, you will have to keep in mind many combinations of moves and think over your strategy many steps forward. This is a kind of chess, only with robots on planets in space.

[+] Advantages:
  • The game trains memory, logic and teaches tactical and strategic thinking.
  • Everything is pretty polished, but I would like to add a few things.
  • For early access, the game works very well. I got addicted and played with interest for dozens of hours without finding bugs.
  • Good replay value.
  • The developer is sociable and listens to player feedback.
  • Nice atmosphere of robots and space.
  • The music and sounds are well chosen and allow you to dive deeper into the atmosphere of the game.

[-] Disadvantages:
  • If you are not a fan of card-based programming, this game may be too monotonous and less interesting for you.
  • Lots of random action. Not everyone loves it.
  • Lack of knowledge about the world around and the goals of our battles. I would like to dive deeper into the atmosphere of space and robots.
  • There is no tutorial or examples of victory tactics. You have to experiment a lot of times and die constantly.
  • English only. Without knowing English, you can play, but it will take you much more time to understand the features and capabilities of the game.
  • Perhaps for beginners in this genre, this game will seem difficult. You have to think a lot. But for many, this is the advantage of the game.

What can be added and made better:
  • Adding a tutorial.
  • Support for translation into various languages.
  • Adding lore to the game for a deeper immersion in this atmosphere.
  • Also, besides the text, I want to see some pictures and graphics. For example, such pictures can be inserted between levels. And different pictures as a result of victory or defeat.
  • Adding options for battles and weapons. For example, it would be interesting to shoot in different ways and add the option of planting bombs.
  • Adding a variant of the game, like in chess, the game against the clock. So that there is no opportunity to think over your move for a very long time.
  • Add variety to maps.
    First, it would be great if the appearance and color of the maps could be changed.
    Secondly, I suggest adding special cells on the map. For example:
    a) Cells with impassable mountains. You need to bypass or blow them up.
    b) Mines, which can be left by both us and the opponents.
    c) Cells of the map with lakes. It is possible to walk on them, but something gets worse. Robots rust from water.
    d) In this case, it is possible to create levels with a wider scale of maps.
  • Adding a table of comparison of players. For example, it is possible to compare statistics, who in what number of moves or time passed a company with difficult levels.
  • Adding a variant of the game against other players. And also the addition of joint play in one team.

Conclusions:
It is a seemingly simple game that has a lot of depth and complexity, like in chess.
The game will appeal to those who like to think strategically and tactically, 2D puzzles, turn-based battles using card programming while controlling robots on distant space planets.

It was even interesting for me to play the game in beta and early access for a hundred hours, and I will definitely return to this game.

It is possible to significantly diversify the game with additional content. And the developer promises to continue improving the game for at least another year.
So this game is fun to play now, and it could get even better in the future.
