Description

About the Game

Welcome to the first Tactical Extraction Looter where you pit your courage and leadership against fears made manifest: the Dreadweavers. Your band of scavengers ventures into American Dream turned American Nightmare of the alternative 1900s, to reclaim a devastated former boom town. For those brave enough to make the best of it, the opportunities are now... supernatural!

The next evolution of tactical combat is here: rain lead on enemies by chaining trick shots and overcoming dread. Then get in their midst and rearrange the odds by pushing, countering and combining attacks.

The city will never be the same but you can work with it: lead the counterattack against the Dreadweavers and push ever deeper into the Nightmare. Taking back city quarters will bring you face to face with fresh horrors and into new paths forward.

Cowardice rarely pays the bills but you can’t enjoy your gains when you’re dead. Push your luck and the danger you face while maximizing the loot you can grab and live to fight another day. Limitless raids lure you deeper into the Nightmare and making the most profitable calls is why you, the Ringleader, pay yourself the big bucks!

Face off against monsters born from your band’s deepest fears: push the challenge and raise the Nightmare Level for things to get more deadly and more interesting quickly. Learn to game the system of fear and courage to choose your battles.

Harvest materials from defeated nightmares to craft and enhance increasingly insane weapons, merging early 1900s technology with supernatural alchemy. Unlock new ways to send the monsters back to the Hells they crawled out of.

While you rest your aching guns and reload your muscles, manage your equipment, invest in new abilities or press some rescued fresh meat (heh, heh) into service. Just remember: their weakest points will attract the monsters like blood attracts hungry sharks.

What started off as a fun little turn based game quickly became revealed as a poorly designed, tedious grind-fest with significant balance issues. Each run starts to feel like work and it takes a lot of runs to feel

I was honestly surprised at how fun this was, and also surprised this game hasn't gotten more attention. Reminds me a lot of Rogue Waters which I also thoroughly enjoyed, but this feels different enough that I didn't

OMFG this is a great idea enhancing the XCOM-like genre. I'm speechless. This is just such a cool design. If you liked the other game(Rogue Waters), they have similar looting mechanics, chances are you'd like this one

Very fun game, but they recently added a launcher that just presents you ads for other games and that seems to be it's only purpose. It's an ad and the play button to actually launch the game.

This game is definitely a recommend, but there are some points of constructive criticism I want to levy at it. It's still in early access, so maybe some of them will be addressed. tl;dr - it needs tighter resource

Y'know, I'm not sure if the AI thing was declared back at EA launch, or if I simply wasn't diligent enough in looking into things, but frankly it's a no-go for me. I'd refund if I could. I understand that clarifications
