Early Access Review
TLDR: 1000% yes. CyberKnights: FlashPoint is a rouge-lite cyberpunk game with X:Com-ish mechanics from one of the most reliable developers I've ever come across. Updates are happening weekly.
buggfixes and minor hotfixes often happen the same day something is reported.
support for the game in terms of questions, bugreports or suggestions for ballancing and feature requests almost never take more than 5 minutes about 50% of the time the devs reply directly (not a support team, the actual devs). content is being buildt constantly and the game will most likley be expanded upon for free long after it's reached full release.
if you're looking at getting bang-for-bucks spent you'll be very hard pressed to find anything better.

Not TLDR:

I've been a fan of several of Trese Brothers android games for around a decade now. A huge fan of CK-RPG and of Star Traders having given me hundreds of hours of quality fun over the years. I've been playing CK: Flashpoint for the past week or so and seeing it's still in development it's allready further along than the overwhelming majority of alpha releases.

I state again: The game is not fully released at the moment and...nevertheless in love. It's further along than most games released for sale ever gets.

A short story of one of their previous games (Cyber Knights:RPG for android): Been out for about 7 years. No aditional DLCs or items requiring any form of purchase other than a single non-overpowered class to start with for 99 cents has been released for about 6 years. Out of the blue devs release a free, auto-added extra map area for one of the factions. No pay. No whining or the like. Just a free extra update for no reason for a game that cost a total of less than 6 dollars with all content unlocked for life.

With all the "release and abandon" mentality going around I still instantly knew I could trust this release the moment I saw who the developers were on the steam page.

To me, Trese Brothers are everything the games industry should be. I hold their studio in the same regards as the old legends Interplay Productions (fallout 1) and Troika Games (Arcanum: of steamworks and magick obscura / VTM: Bloodlines 1). In my mind I can think of no higher praise.
