This game is not good, not polished, and sometimes buggy. Its really just a grind, the story and writing is as lazy as possible. Its just a tedious loop. Duper games is right because I feel like I just got duped. This

Excellent new take on tactical turn based roguelike. The whole idea is you get 1 action per turn, you'd think this would make the game easy or simple but in reality it makes you run through so many variables before

Game is as if it was a tech demo for a combat system that was incomplete. Really needs one or two more mechanics to truly shine. In its current state it is fun, however.

Day of the Shell is a very streamlined tactic game. An interesting proposition and what is there is good, but unfortunately it only feels like a solid base for a game. It needs more mechanics, more enemy variety, more

This is the most buggy game I have played in a very long time and played a lot of games. Game constantly locks itself and you need to go back to menu or force close the game depending on which bug you got. And yes this

This is a good game in concept and execution. I had fun, it scratches a particular itch. But a lot of player agency is trapped in meta-progression. You'll find yourself thinking "I died and there was nothing I could do"
