Before I get to the rest, I should mention that the rhythm gameplay is pretty fun, solid like 6/10. The rhythm gameplay is not why I am writing this review. The story is why I am both writing this review, and why I will be nominating this for game of the year for the 2026 Steam Awards. And probably half of the other awards too. I am not being hyperbolic when I say I would pay $200 for this game. This is the most emphatic I have ever and will ever recommend a game. Regarding the plot...

There's just something about this game. It shouldn't hit this close and this hard for me, just like objectively. I'm not a musician in the slightest, I haven't had the same key life experiences (I cannot say because spoilers what exactly I am referring to), it's just not me. Hell honestly I normally don't care for rhythm games. But somehow, it just hits. I don't cry easily or often. I struggled to play the game at times because it turns out gaming is hard while sobbing. I needed to take a shower to wash my face after the finale. I just don't have the words to explain how this game makes me feel, I can talk around the feeling, point to the space around it, but not the thing itself, and maybe, just maybe, that's the point.

There's one thing I do know, and that this game truly is UNBEATABLE.

10/10

I'll admit I was skeptical about the idea of an RPG factory game but I am very glad I decided to give this game a chance. It's basically post-Factorio-apocalypse (an apocalypse from a factorio perspective not from a people perspective, the people are just in a recession). Also the art for the characters is just dsilajkfhbdsf I don't have the words it's amazing. 11/10.

0/10 too much water

I mean the game as its issues but I still found it fun. Just make sure you're willing to accept some pretty massive flaws, as detailed in other reviews.

Maybe on sale, but full price too much IMO

Honestly it just feels janky

It's fun but Todd sucks

much better now

So far the game seems pretty good. The claims about the sim being too slow don't seem that valid. The Online Leagues require an FTP server so if you just want that feature be aware of that. Also the AI is bad at trades but I think it's just part of the fun.
