Spess marines pew pew pew

This is a colony simulator videogame. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of potential. It is encrusted with hours of my attention.

Version played : 55c

This game is a fantastic Spelunky rogue-like with a great touch of class-based action/RPG elements. The controls are super, super tight, and each class feels unique and enjoyable. There is a wide variety of randomly-generated weapons, items, and armor, which lends to the "Rogue" feel, and the procedurally-generated dungeons offer a nice mix-up each time you play.

Some nitpicks:
- The endgame content was, at the time of writing, a bit sparse. The caves and forest, and to a lesser extent, their "locked path" alternatives, were both excellent and filled with lots of variety and nooks to explore. The flooding forest tower is a really neat level as it adds some extra difficulty. The cave ruins could use more enemy types and some balancing. The forest ruins are unbelievably challenging, filled with all kinds of traps.
- However, the Rift (and the Factory) are both large, mostly empty spaces. There's not much to them, at the moment.

These are just nitpicks, though, as I understand the game is still in Early Access, and there's lots more balancing and content to come, I'm sure. I really look forward to seeing this game finished, as it's held my interest for literally tens of hours already!

Meh. Just a generally disappointing game. It's quite buggy, doesn't look very nice, and doesn't feel like a "Fallout". Within an hour of starting the game, I had power armor and responsibility over 5 settlers in a compound that I could build myself using Minecraft-like resource management.

To be clear : None of these features are reasons I play the Fallout series.

Look, I'll grant this isn't the best way to review a game, but dollar-per-hour this is one of the cheapest games on my list. $0.25/hour, even with the season pass.

Jump! Bang! Pow! Whazoop! Fwee!

These are just some of the noises you'll hear while you're desperately replaying the same impossibly hard platform level over and over again while the narrator snidely insults you and your controller is slipping out of your white-knuckle grip because it's coated in a thick layer of sweat.
