What players say

As a a cheap fun way to spend a few hours, I recommend this. It could be really great, but there's just not enough there right now to keep coming back, and given it's age I suspect this game is done. Still, picked it up in the sale and I don't feel I wasted my money.

It's a fun little game. I haven't had nearly as many RNG issues as some people have complained. But, it feels like the game is only about 50% done.
Mark SkarrRecommendedafter 62hJan 2026Read on Steam
The primary enemy in this game are bugs. You have doors that decide they want to become walls stopping your guys from leaving the rooms they are in and you have weapons that wont fire unless sell them off and re-buy them. I want to like this game but its close to unplayable.
