This game is endlessly deep. It's factorio depth and scope in a rimworld wrapper and a total war bow. This is your favorite games favorite game. Your wife's boyfriend dumped her to play this game.
Trust me, the top down is a lot less of a deal breaker than you were thinking. Good game. Dev is active and in discord, good chap. Give him some cash for this shweet game.
