The game is decently fun and the price is also nice but the tech tree actually hurts to look at and is hard to read to the point where I got a migraine. so if you are sensitive to bright light don't play but if your eyes are better then mine the art is good and the gameplay loop is decent if not largely rng dependent. But i personally cant recommend the game due to the lack of options that reduce harm to the eyes.

This game is amazing. I highly recommend it. Its easy to learn, and can be highly addicting. There's quite alot of depth to it and reasonable amount of luck, with a decent variety of items to win the run. I like how I can spend alot of time in the planning phase being meticulous and setting things up to then sit back and watch the wave play out getting anxious when it gets close. This game is fun, and I really enjoy...
