My own personal victory . . .

This isn't a proper review so much as it's my stream of consciousness.

Finally, after seven hours of hair pulling, I've made it to rank 6 silver, and am halfway to rank 7. My current win streak is six, my highest win streak yet.

This game is so freaking addicting, frustrating and rewarding all at once. I love it! I hate it!

I know rank 6 is pretty small potatoes, but for me, I am pleased. I finally slowed down and analyzed each move. There is almost always a move that won't kill you. Not always, because I've been completely hosed numerous times, but using my noggin has helped my game immensely.

Anyway . . . this is such a wonderful game!

I just started playing, and have finished 9 out of 50 campaign puzzles, most of which are basically tutorial levels to teach you the mechanics. This is a very unique and very enjoyable puzzle game. Basically it's crafting made into a puzzle, with area management to effectively craft the right items at the right place, so you can continue crafting everything else you need to make the finished product.

The puzzles are multi-stage crafting, e.g. you first need to craft some flint, then you craft a pointed stick sharpened flint and a stick. Then you use the stick to craft something else, or craft an animal separately in another location, and use the pointed stick to skin the animal, which in turn you use the animal pelt to craft the final item. And so on, and so on . . .

There are lots of levels, and I can see them getting really complex and thought provoking.

There are also a bunch of challenge scenarios, that are deemed expert level only. I haven't tried those yet, but it's just more goodness in this very fun and relaxing game.

For $3 it's an excellent deal. Thumbs up. Get it.

This is a wonderful game. I haven't played too far yet, still trying to beat the first level boss. But, it's an excellent design, chock full of bullet-hell, shoot 'em up and exploration goodness. There appears to be a ton of different weapons and power-ups, and the enemy patterns are very unique and challenging.

I'm a slow, old guy who generally sucks at this kind of game, but I love them so much. This is definitely one I will be playing for a long time. The controls are precise and work very well with either mouse/keyboard or controller.

Oh, and the music is top notch!

I think this could easily be my favorite Arcen game.

Indeed. A map pack is my last choice for a DLC, but I am grateful for all newness for this game. I look forward to the more meaty DLC and expansions!

This is a very, very cool and fun 3D puzzle game. We need more players because the high score list only seems to compare your score to your friends scores, not the entire world. I hope they improve this part of it. It's always fun to compare scores with others.

So far, this looks like an easy winner of a game. It really is like a cross between Portal 2 and Space Engineers. Great stuff. The puzzles are already a bit challenging to me, and I'm only on the third puzzle. I will be spending a lot of enjoyable time with this game.

This game is really a blast! If you like comic books and card games, I highly recommend you give this a try. It is not a collectable game, but there are expansions that give you more heroes, villains and environments to play with.

It is a surprisingly good game, with tons of strategy and tactics from the best card games in the business. The interface is very well though out and designed. It takes just a bit of getting used to, but there is a VERY good tutorial that explains everything about the game, and I mean everything. All tutorials should be so good. There is also an in-game reference manual that explains everything in detail.

There isn't much animation, it's more like you're playing a frame by frame comic book. This works very well for this type of game, and it is so much fun that you will never miss the lack of animated action.

They have already released one mini DLC, and the next big one is due next week, with a bunch more heroes, enemies and environments.

I say check it out. You just may fall in love with it like I have.

Where has this game been all my life? This game came out of nowhere for me. I found it after seeing a Steam friend playing it, and I investigated. This game is outstanding, and just plain old tons of fun!

I have only defeated the first two bosses, but I am loving the story and design of this game. The battles are fun, the collecting aspect is very cool for OCD collecting types like me, and the decisions are interesting and compelling.

Well done, developers (I'm not even sure who you are), you done good! I hope this game does well and keeps being supported with updates, expansions, etc.

I like this game. I have not played very much of it, but it is a decent very old school wargame (I'm thinking of Warlords on the Commodore PET). Logistics, supply, exploration and army building are the key components here. I enjoy recruiting armies to my cause, then being able to control them. I like building up my armies, searching for magic items and beasties to supplement my army.

I wish the combat had at least some tactical components, but it is what it is. It's about positioning your armies, taking out the enemy armies when you have the chance, and building experience to take on stronger armies.

I have just barely gotten into the game, but I will be spending some time trying to beat this game. Unfortunately, and this is a HUGE disappointment, there is only one campaign. Once you beat it, that's it. I guess you can play again on the harder difficulty level.

The developer needs to come out with more campaigns. Hopefully this game will do well enough in the marketplace to let him/her support this game for a while.

I recommend this game.

Onwards!

I highly recommend this game if you are interested in pinball! These boards are fantastic!
