What players say

This was a fun game, I liked the way the skill trees were tied to completely different ways to play the game and things to focus on a lot of the time. That was probably the best part, that you had to change the way you were playing every once in a while. it was a good time

Nice game in its genre! Minor complaints: * Pink skin is practically hurting for eyes; * Colorless nodes are hard to distinguish between available/not because of the framing; * Pixel graphics are quite too pixelated: if you scale out the skill tree it'll blend into a mess of pixels; * You can't really tell how much of each currency you have, because each x1000 (thousand, million, billion, etc) is just marked with...
