Follows the same style and story of the previous game, Genome Guardian, and does it all in a similar way. A unique kind of gameplay, making this game a fun experience to replay over and over. Although it doesn't have as much variety as the previous game, it still has a lot to explore, and the commanders feel more diverse than the turrets in Genome Guardian. Overall, just as amazing as Genome Guardian

Unique turn-based chess-like. Feels like an improvement on Genome Guardian
Clever new concept with high replayability!
Love letter to the nightfall incident, will return to this game once I'm done with genome guardian
This is a game that really scratches my turn-based, grid-based strategy desires, in a kind of similar way to Into The Breach (my favorite game). I'm still in the process of discovering everything and taking down the bosses but the overall gameplay loop of developing your cells which all have unique characteristics and using them to accomplish missions (either by killing the enemies or by fulfilling the mission objective) is super solid. Having the health tied into the body size of each cell (which gets bigger as they move, Snake style) is a really interesting twist and intuitive mechanic--in addition to making your health extremely visible at all times, it makes it so your health is directly tied to the physical space (so large cells might end up inadvertently body blocking your other cells or making it so you can't pass kill spikes without dying) and having a lot of health also makes you a larger target for enemies. I also really appreciate how, like Into The Breach, the damage and he...
Lived up to the hype from the demo. Very fun spiritual successor to the last game!
I love this game, and genome guardian, got like 6 hours in less than a week and the strategy is in depth and its a fairly deep game. Only issues: I didn't actually finish genome guardian before this one so its a bit spoilery. Also soft lock prevention doesnt exist. Epic game though
It's a wonderful game, that's surprisingly well balanced for difficulty given how many options you're given to try out. On top of the already existing depth, then there's different game-modes, commanders, and perks to take. The commanders in particular really add to the replayability.
Good game 👍
Controls can feel a little confusing at first but once you get used to them this is Literally one of the coolest tactical roguelikes out there<3 (Shoutouts to Olexa for the recommendation)
