Yes the price went up. So did the price of everything else in the world. Meanwhile, Chaos Dwarfs are the coolest, most mechanically rich faction ever released.

Plenty of co-op games are just either unfun or sometimes completely unplayable (looking at you Payday 2) when playing alone. This game manages to be addicting any way you decide to play it. From what I've played and watched, the difficulty scales pretty well to provide a hectic but fair experience for any amount of players.

Update: The game has received continuous free content additions which have made an already great game even better for the value.

I can't say just one more turn, because there are no turns. I just keep playing. I say I'll play until 10:00. But then it's 10:10 so I'll play until 10:30, and suddenly it's 2:00 AM.

Many people have been complaining about various compatability issues, telling others to not buy the game. The fact is, on some PC's it runs better than on others. From what I've heard about the developers, these various bugs may or may not get fixed. However, my PC runs the game just fine, and, to me, it is very playable and enjoyable in its current state. I would suggest buying the game and, if you have problems with it, simply return it. As I've seen, there seems to be no way to tell if the game will run on your system or not. It's not all NVidia graphics cards, which I use, its not later versions of windows, I'm currently on 10. Just try the game out and hopefully you can get the unique experience that I've been looking for in a game for a long time.

The game itself reminds me of Anno in that you have to set up production chains and turn products into other products. What was missing for me from Anno was the ability to just focus on the business aspect of the game. No diplomacy, no ecobalance, just making products. Now to be fair, I am a nerd. I like to see efficiency and to make small numbers get larger. If you don't like working with numbers, this game might not be for you. I for one like looking at my cow farm and deciding that I can run it at 75% efficiency to supply demand, or making the perfect ratio of wheat farms to donut factories. Hopefully the developers will keep their promises, fixing bugs and even adding multiplayer. I've even heard talk of a sequel, so I would be very excited to see a modernazation of this classic.
