So many skills and nodes to choose from that are not supported by a functional interface or inventory management. Even "crafting" seems couter intuitive...

Could have been interesting, but the stamina system took the fun out of me.

Please fix the "Lost connexion to game server" so I can actually get into the game with my friends and report more bugs.

"Connecting to Front Server"...

And no, I'm not going to disable my antivirus.

Very good story telling, ambient, chill and thrill experience on that game.

Very good mix of RTS, tactical squad RPG, adventurers roster management and base builder; all along a storyline with some choices to make.

When you send your newly equiped squad on a mission you can sit back and look how they're doing given the priorities and tactics you set up. If you prefer playing manually you can: here they give you the choice! So the game doesn't play itself as some people complain, you decide. When mission is over and you won the battle there's a fun mini-game where you explore underground caves to scavenge and get resources in a limited time.

It took me 15 hours to finish the campaign with all researches done, last ship, and toons in my squad almost all maxed with OK to good equipment. I would have keep on a bit more to craft some more items and recover all the remaining cryo-sleeping people.

Devs are listening to the community and working on some sort of NG+ where you could inherit a few things from a previous finished campaign. Can't wait to play again once it's there.

And they're also helpful and reactive. I reported a couple of bugs, had a personal answer less than 3 hours later and a hotfix was already done the day after!

Horrible translation, no real tutorial, hard to find how to heal, incomplete or misleading windows names...

One of my stable first settlement lasted for 37 years. But it's not the achievemet that I recall the most. It's what happened to one of my gnomes. I can't remember her name, for what I am ashamed of, but I will never forget how she behaved after some events that occured on a rainy day.
Let me call her Lara, and blame me for forgetting her name if you want, but listen to me before you do because I want to tell you her story. The story of Lara.

They were walled-in, with an entry gate filled with a dozen of different traps. Two squads of long-time trained guards defending the gardens and the doors leading to the inner rooms beneath the mountain. Some miners were still digging deeper and deeper for more precious minerals. Almost all gnomes were veterans in their jobs and high skilled at what they'd had to do. Guards would come by quickly in case of danger; even simple gatherers or ranchers wouldn't mind rushing straight up to the face of an angry mob instead of fleeing. Lara was one of them brave gnomes.

Eventually the miners found a breach and opened a passage to a cave filled with curious eggs. It didn't last long for a horde of filthy creatures to spread everywhere through the tunnels, the stairs and the resting rooms up to the surface. The alarm was triggered, the guards fought and killed all the nasty insects as they were trained for. But for the first time a gentle farmer got injured during the battle, badly injured. Lara just had lost a leg.

I felt really sorry for her and started to keep a closer eye. I don't know if it's because of her higher skills, as she was one of the eldest gnomes in that village, or just cause of her "personality", but she would react very quickly to important things to do: cleaning rooms, crafting stuff, helping farmers with the crops... just very slowly. She couldn't run anymore.

In the middle of a buzzing hive of a few dozens of busy gnomes you could instantly recognize her with that funny walk style of her while she carried crates bigger than herself. She didn't seem to complain about doing her chores though. Only it would take her much more time than others. Like minutes to get from a room to another, "step by step" in a way.
Fact is she seemed to be apart of the community. More and more. When lunch time rang the gnomes gathered in the treasure room to share the meals. But by the time she'd get a pie from the kitchen and slowly reach the lunch table; others would already have finished eating and left the room. So she used to sat there, lonely eating her pie before going back to take care of any arising emergency. As much as she could. Often getting there too late. Poor injured gnome crawling but never letting down.

Even if she helped for work like cropping the fields or taking care of the cattle, most of the time she was alone. She just couldn't catch up other gnomes in time, always arriving too late for social activities. Eating an apple-pie in the empty dinner room. Again.

One day I didn't see her at first glance where she used to work or carry stuff. I noticed as she was so slow that she would get thirsty really quick, err I mean she wouldn't be able to travel too long distances. This is why she stayed around the crafting rooms, gathering stuff from a machine to another. But that day: "Where'd she go?"

I looked for her for a couple minutes that seemed an eternity. Not in the fields... Not on a crafting machine... No sign of her carrying stuff. So I checked the underground levels : -1, -2, -3... I finally found Lara. She must have been cleaning the barrels in that large storage room and fell asleep on her way back to the surface. She was quite far from where she normally hanged by during the day. I waited a moment. Why wouldn't she get up? I froze as I began to understand.

She went so far from her usual workplace that she eventually fell asleep. Fatigued and starving she couldn't get back in time to the kitchen due to her condition.

Her body was lying on the floor of a cold dark underground tunnel. She just had died alone.
Alone, as always.

Poor me... I played more than 2 hours, and now I can't get a refund!
