Abandonware. Had serious potential but the devs fumbled hard and have left it to rot.

Abandoned and unfinished. Don't waste your time or money.

a promising concept, charging money for abandonware is pretty sketch though

I remember watching this game on youtube back when it was in alpha or beta or whatever. It seemed like an interesting promising game that was still in development. I thought it was interesting enough that I ended up buying it to support the development. I played the game for maybe 7 or so hours over the course of a few days trying to do various gimmicks and whatnot to destabilize towns and bring forth my win condition. After I had my fun I uninstalled the game and figured I'd play it again in a year or so when it was further developed. The next time I did play the game it had been released, in fact it was in version 1.2 - I played the game for a few hours, about 3, and found that the game felt almost identical to the original game. The only real difference being there was made a small handful of new spells and new player archetypes, but nothing really revolutionary in terms of new ways to destabilize towns or new ways to play the game. I uninstalled the game and waited again for further updates, and they just never came. A few times I've looked at this game's activity and all I see is the most recent post being the 1.2 update. Simply put the game is not complete, it doesn't feel complete. The devs it feels like rushed out a hasty 1.0 said it was complete then slapped on some minor additional content in 1.1 and 1.2 that was still in the works then just abandoned the project. To put it as plan as possible- it feels like abandonware. But the biggest slap in the face is that they claim it's done, they claim it's complete so new steam buyers will come along and see a "completed" game and continue to shovel money towards them. A while back I've decided to stop buying games in Early Access because I've been burnt too many times- this is one of those games that have burnt me- but it's disappointing to see that they don't even have the Early Access label anymore. To anyone scrolling the steam page they will see a game with a "1.2 version" release that was yes- released a long time ago- so it appears like it doesn't receive any updates (which it doesn't) but it also gives the very very false appearance that the game was completed.

It is heartbreaking this game was abandoned to chase trends. This is an interesting, even if not unique, idea that I love but needs just a little more work for a complete experience that I could suggest at the asking price of twenty-five USD. At this moment I would classify this game as a ten to twelve USD price range. But to purchase under the burden of knowing it will not see any further development.

Abandonware.

wish it was finished :/

The game had potential but sadly its abandoned.

Don't get it unless it's on sale. That's my advice, It's a fun game but there's only so much and I think the devs abandoned it.

Not updated, barely finished. Dont buy it.
