Extremely cool game. No adds. No energy regeneration system. Just an honest demo (quite a lot of content already, enough to see whether you like the gameplay) and an optional offer to purchase the campaign for even more content and supporting the devs. I played through the tutorial campaign and am currently on the first puzzle mission. Having blast honestly, but I encountered a critical bug losing my game progress :( Also please add more achievements and ways to spend their coins.

Amazing game, I always enjoy turn based strategy games like these. I always love to support these types of hidden gem games as long as the price model is not outrageous. The reason why I took two star off is paying 6 Euros to unlock full game doesn't actually unlock everything, you still need to pay to unlock factions. If there are unlockables anyways, why set the price point for "full game" to 6 Euros?

In all honesty this game is fun, can get challenging,but it's addictive. Old school style gameplay is a winner plus the resource to risk ratio is pretty good. Really hope more stuff can be added to make it fun and for the love of all that is good...please no ads,it's rare to find games that aren't plastered with them, keep up the good work and we hope to see this game grow more for the people to enjoy! 💪
