This is an amazing game with a unique approach to city building, bringing in combo-building from deck-builders/rougelikes (in form of perks and blueprints!) which leads to it’s strongest points:
-Multiple solutions to problems and working strategies to win!
-Settlements are done very fast (~1h) and then you move to the next, completely different one (in bigger, cohesive runs consisting of establishing town network) - keeps things fresh!
-Great replay value (no same set of problems to solve)

In conclusion the gameplay is something that appealed to me as a person who loves early game of city builders and struggles with burnout late game - keeping things interesting and fresh as a principle!

Bonus: great music, art and story elements!

Extremly climatic and captures the SPIRIT of the game as well as my own imagination while playing tabletop!
What I enjoy the most:

1. Implementation of the rules - The game is highly complex and has a lot of powers, events and other factors all affecting interactions on board which is a headache to grasp at first. As it is probably to be expected for a tabletop port to do it all well, it is nonentheless appreciated too! Because of that it is perfect to learn the game and how edge cases play out.

2. Sound design - Soundtrack is very climatic and varies between spirits. Love multiple sounds for animal tokens.

3. UI - For a game with so much to track I think it's as clear as possible.

4. Completion marks and statistics - Neat way to track card plays etc. for achivements, checking out own progress.

All in all, complete and solid product, perfect for me to play solo without the need to set up the boardgame, albeit pricey. Though, I consider it justified for a niche game port done with a lot of love and money well spent!

Really enjoyable game, with absolutely stunning visuals and sound design, mixing some features of dungeon crawling with base developement, although none of these is explored too deeply. Is it good or bad? Depends on what you're looking for. In my personal opinion this blend results in a nice and enjoyable "lighter" title, with some reasonable difficulty after cranking it up, captivating story and fun minigames. Managing the cult, even though sometimes feels like a chore can be done in many different ways and in the end comes out quite fun and fresh. Fast paced but simple combat feels like a really good choice by the developers. Standing on around 15-20 hours of story driven gameplay, definitely something to at least try out :)

BUGS: For now some softlocks happen, easy to revert though and the team is actively working them out.

I came because of the idea I saw in it at the first glance, a simulator of a bureaucrat in a commie state to put some stamps. What I got is an amazing story of a man standing in front of difficult decisions, not only in his workplace but also in personal live. Living on the verge of poverty, death and with noone to trust it is up to you to survive, building a disgusting sensation and leaving, at least me with a lot of thoughts. I love it allowed me to feel how overwhelming and sad can one's life be. And to put them stamps. Brillant game, and a very beautiful one, totally recommand.

As I played a lot of strategy games in my life, I can honestly say it's the best RTS ever made. The complexity of combat, fully destroyable enviroment and plenty of units (various kinds of infantry, tanks, artillery, armoured vehicles and more) makes every multiplayer ( up to 16 players) battle unremarkable. The singleplayer provides hours of fun with long campaigns related to every fraction (Soviet, Allied, Axis)
Unfortunatelly, the GameSpy is down and built-in multiplayer is out of use. But there is a big and experienced community on GameRanger. I don't recommand buying game from steam because GameRanger DOESN'T SUPPORT IT on Windows 8 and up. But as I take care of community of this amazing game to grow, just get it from another source. It will be cheap (max 5 euro)... For information please PM me lads!
