Gonna say the same thing so many others have. The problem with the game is the tedious and painful "visual programing" The idea is interesting. The actual gameplay effect is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. Want to make a bot carry more than a single item? Okay you need to craft an internal component (hope you have the mats or you cant even program) Now your down a slot in your bot, oh well right? Now you have to go through the menu and create a program.. "oh its simple just drag and drop." Yeah IF you know what each of the over 100 little programs ACTAULLY DOES. No explanations, no visual queues. Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ *wiki work*. At 50 hours in, ive hit the wall of "fun" because at this point nearly every bot needs a program, and I am sick of searching for guides, looking up wikis, and dealing with the jank. Combat is where the jank lives. You can really tell they just tacked that on at the end. Projectiles can pass through hostiles through buildings. Getting hit will lock your units AI up. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid pathfinding. "But you can program around the bad AI" Yeah I see you and ♥♥♥♥ you. The game also struggles on normal systems from what ive read...because Ive had to do EXTENSIVE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ research just to PLAY a game. I have a pretty beefy system, all i noticed was my fans running a bit more. Another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ notch against the game. bottom line. Its pretty, and the first few hours of gameplay are mechanically sound but once you are outside of the "demo" levels. The game falls apart under its own bad design. Tacked on garbage mechanics designed to be "unique" instead of fun. If your looking for a factory game, just get Shapes. If your looking for an RTS, just get anything else. Its the worst of both worlds.
