💥 TRENDING: App//reviews - High Quality

This is one of those games that genuinely lets you play however you want, wherever you want. If you feel like taking things slow and grinding resources at a relaxed pace, you can do that. If you want to ramp production up to absurd speeds, that’s just as viable. The game gives you an incredible amount of freedom, including tens of thousands of meters of vertical space to build in if you really want to go wild. It strikes a nice balance between structure and freedom. You truly feel like you’re building a massive factory without constantly worrying about aliens tearing it apart. The tower-defense side of the game is intentionally streamlined you place defenses wherever you like, enemies route around them however they can often flying over them while taking fire and that’s it. You can’t wall off paths, and enemies don’t actively target or destroy your defenses. While this removes some strategic depth, it also eliminates the constant frustration of rebuilding after every attack.

Logistics is where the game really shines. You have a huge number of options in how you manage resources. You can funnel everything into one massive storage system for easy access at the cost of capacity management, or split storage by resource type and scale each independently, trading simplicity for more complex wiring. You can use hopper storage for faster inventory access at the cost of extra materials. Automation is entirely up to you as well whether you automate absolutely everything or only the resources you use most often.

The UI isn’t perfect and could use some refinement, but considering how small the development team is, it’s already in a solid place. The game is still actively in development, with roughly one major patch per month and a constantly updated beta branch that sees near-daily changes. Unlike many developers, updates stay balanced rather than dumping in huge feature sets and worrying about balance later.

The developer deserves special mention. The main developer, DJArcas, is extremely active in the community, regularly streaming both gameplay and development. He takes time to answer questions, listens to feedback, and most importantly gives clear, honest responses. If something won’t be added, he explains why. If a suggestion is flawed, he says so. And if he agrees, it often gets implemented quickly. That level of transparency and approachability is rare, especially in a game that’s updated this frequently. Overall, it’s refreshing to see a game with this much freedom, thoughtful design, and a developer who genuinely engages with the community.

A game on the brink of excellence but lacking in many critical areas. It reminds me a lot of the old-school Minecraft mods like IC2 and the Mindcrack/FTB mod packs. The issue is, it's a convoluted mess and incredibly finicky in its mechanics. The resulting clunkiness makes it hard to fall into a flow-state and you spend more time fighting the game than actually progressing through it.
