Fun at first, and the main game mechanic is quite novel. But once the novelty wears off, you realize the controls aren't all that responsive or reliable, which can be frustrating. And since this game is all above precise and deliberate action, I had to quit while it was still even a little bit fun. Cute idea and premise though. Also, I feel like it's messing up my PC and keyboard...

1 Colonizer VS 20 Natives (War Crimes Edition).
A really fun and well priced gem :) Very crunchy and satisfying gameplay and I love the soundtrack/audio too. Hopefully a few more levels and some interesting DLC will arrive soon. I enjoyed smashing my keyboard to play and found that a clever mechanic but ultimately I reverted to my controller which didn't seem to lessen my enjoyment any!
i somehow managed to turn off the cheap rgb light on my budget gaming keyboard 10/10
Simple game that is simply fun.
First I actually like the game btw. The biggest plot twist in this game is the peddler not being a secret boss or character. Surprisingly difficult game, glitches are sometimes encountered, but playing around them can sometimes enhance the experience, despite the occasionnal hinderance. I have mostly been using mouse mode, but I can tell the keyboard is the intended way to play the game, especially with the last character. Every character has downsides, but their gimmicks usually make them fun to play as. anyways pretty good game very fun unique and replayable
