An okay game with okay mechanics, the asking price isn't worth it unless you get in a sale imo.
The potion mechanic seemed completely pointless except for healing potions, which is a shame, could have been nice.

Very casual game, but I had fun.
It's quite an easy, laid back experience. If you want more of a challenge there's hard mode, but even that is not that hard.
If you're looking for a laidback base building/resource management game, this is a good one.

This game is brilliant, Nobody asks me, but it is a must-have, and here are the reasons.
Reasons
Easy gameplay but really deep with a lot of mechanics but it doesn’t feel overwhelming and you feel like a pro, it’s like a swarm simulator… But with robots.
The robots are cute and merciless, go on an expedition and you would see.
Friendly with daltonic people (Even with unlucky people like me, you feel nice with every expedition, but it’s not easy you need skills and a critical eye to choose your path)
So far the narrative takes me… But I need to go to work.
Neat sound design
Reasons if you don’t play this kind of games
I feel you bro but, this game has welcome graphics and all the aesthetics hook you immediately. You would be immersed in their mechanics and in no time you feel like you can conquer every place in the world… Darkes prepare yourself
The graphics are so cute… Even with the more dangerous enemy, you have the urge to cuddle with him.
But…
Don’t try to do everything in one seat, this game deserves patience, and feel the power in your veins (Something darkness awake in me with this game)
This kind of game has a lot on the screen and even here but to the minimum, you me feel overwhelmed but… Never lost or confused, but it’s a lot on the screen
In short… No reason not to buy…
Expect a deep analysis later… this is the first impression…

I had this game on my Steam wishlist for some time, though I don’t recall why I wishlisted it in the first place.
Perhaps it was the graphics or these groovy mage robots. Well I still decided to give it a try!
Find my first play and some reviewing here: it's in Finnish but I crafted some English Subtitles.

This is such a unique resource management with a side of tower defense game. Nice art, chill music and fun fantasy theme. I love the little robots. The expeditions are a great shift to change up the gameplay. GG!

Pretty unique game with a different style. There are some parts that are a bit frustrating but you never get to a point where you are completely out of the game. The hard difficulty was actually a challenge too. Played the demo of the game and fell in love and played through the whole game.

Boring. Too easy. New machanics are add just to give some illusion that it actually have some difficult in it.
Perhaps its aimed towards younger players than me.

ACHIEVEMENT REVIEW
--How difficult is 100% all achievements?--
☑Easy
☐ Average
☐ Challenging
☐ Impossible/Excruciatingly Difficult, Tedious or Long.
---
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO PLAY ON HARD FROM THE GET GO. It's not that challenging, and you'll get all achievements for Normal & Easy difficulties too.
Thankfully I checked, I would not have enjoyed an entire 2nd playthrough just to get the hard achievements.
- It took about 7-8 hours to get all achievements.
- No missable achievements.
- No timebased achievements.
The length of the game felt really good, if the game was any longer, I might have lost motivation. However, the full price might feel a bit hefty for only 8hrs of gameplay.

Ummm 90 minutes in and it looks like the game is half over :/ I would wait for a nice sale or a year of development. Coming from someone who loves these games.
Not worth $15 atm. Very little content(3hours tops) with no real replayability.

While cute, the game is chiefly just a painfully easy, if tedious, grind. It's next to impossible to actually lose or suffer significant setback, and gameplay then just consists of repeatedly setting up the same economic loops over and over again. While new mechanics are introduced with each new world, they consist more or less of just reskins on existing ones. The result was a game that was ultimately just a chore to get through.
