I'm impressed with the scale of the game, and again that it does it without turning into micromanagement hell. If you like factory games, this is a must buy.

Interesting story, fun challenges, maybe 4X of the Year?

<3 SO FUN!

There is a very interesting enigma wrapped in a mystery going on here. I really want to get into the game more, but the translation is rough. I feel certain that after a conversation we could work out some smoother edges to the translations. Thank you! Love the game! Keep: Doing It!

I'm really enjoying this game. It's well designed. Every turn makes you think through your options and re-consider discarded approaches. Once I finished, I wanted more and so, I returned to each level, maxing the population out. This gave me even more ideas about different styles of play and therefore I started a whole new campaign.

I hope they do some DLC. I'd happily pay $20 for more.

It scratches that itch I've had to start a band and work my way up the charts!

VERY frustrating. I wanted this to be a fun game, but it just keeps beating you down with lousy outcomes. You aren't winning or losing because of your choices and strategy, but because there are just SO many Wammies in the rng table.
To make matters worst, the interface often hides away the most important thing you need to reference. For example,
I've played for several hours, and I still don't know what the flight days are between cities. It could be manageable, but the timing of events and missions often depends on getting the drones between cities with no time to spare.
At the end of the day, I can't justify spending my very precious time on such an arbitrary design.

The visual programming it was sets this apart from most programming battle bot games.

It reminds me of Balance of Power from way back in the day.

It's like solitaire except you are playing in a dark foreboding forest and an adventure draws you into its whirlwind.
