Stellar Initiative

Unfortunately this is not a strategy game even though it seems like one. Theoretically there are multiple choices and multiple paths, practically you have to choose a bit more powerful or a bit more reliable choice/path. Especially on higher difficulties you have to choose best option basically min max things and if you are not offered a good option you are as good as dead. There is no room for mistakes because even 1 mistake or a building getting destroyed can cause you to lose the mission eventually. There is also no room for many experimentations with diffirent combinations because game is just really unforgiving. On higher difficulties game relies on luck way too much and if you lose a mission even though you don't lose the run you lose the rewards from that mission, but you need every bit of resources. In short this is not a horrible game but the potential is definitely wasted.

Tower defense but you're replaying the same mini-level over and over. The random difficulty modifiers and rewards do keep it fresh, but only to a degree. It's unforgiving and I respect it for that but bugs like the delivery queue going into the negative and cryostasis unavoidably killing you as a result are incredibly aggravating when reloading the level resets the run. But most criminal, I just didn't find it fun or satisfying. I can see how some would.

Its a fun game, and I will continue to enjoy it. I just wish it had an endless mode after you beat the final boss. Or even a separate endless mode.

I would say this game is my comfort game, I have played this so much that I love trying out every different strategy. I think this is a great game, it is challenging, but it is a harsh punishment on higher difficulties if you don't pay attention. A proper run can take like a bit over an hour, which I think is fine, and is similar to other roguelikes I have played. If you like strategy games that give you a challenge, and where you can get destroyed if you ♥♥♥♥ up, or smooth sailing once you get the economy going. I would say this game is quite a good option. TLDR: I love this game!

To be honest, its so-so. Too slow, too little change between runs. And some artifacts can just make or break the run

It's just too repetitive and the RNG elements aren't doing it any favours

Repetitive game

this game is a cool idea but is GODAWFUL because if you arent playing on the easiest difficulty then the enemies that get thrown at you cannot be killed without spending 1/2 the level killing 1/8 enemies in 1/3-5 waves which feel HORRIBLE unless you find one of 2/60+ *artifacts that put you 30 seconds ahead of a 90-150 second level which allows you to play the game and not do the exact same thing every 120 seconds because you WILL lose otherwise and there are NO options to give the player agency just to put it in simpler terms 98-96% of the only things that change from run to run are pointless just like the game, its not fun, its just code that can run a bad program that wastes your time without even giving you the feel good chemicals in your brain

Gets boring really quickly due to low amount of content, dev himself said openly that he does not care about this title anymore-so finished product (Bad product with no content and boring gameplay) Dont waste your money.

Feels like a game made by an AI with laziness.
