I don't know how long we can hold them back, but we won't go down cheaply.

See you in frozen hell! 1075eedd30 Title: LinkGenre: Indie, RPG, StrategyDeveloper:Brainwashing GamesPublisher:Brainwashing GamesRelease Date: 22 Apr, 2016 Link Addons If low resolution graphics ruin a game for you, then don't buy this game.Otherwise it is a fun turn based resource management\/tactics game.+ lots of characters to unlock, which enable new strategies to try out+ nice low res graphics+ high replay value+ low price- resolution is fixed at 800x600,. I like a lot this turn-based strategy game. Each turn, you choose an action for each crew member, you can: create a room in the base or craft something (weapon, armor), or help a character with low stats to stay alive, giving him (her) food, heat or health in the appropriate room, or pick a mission and send one or more characters outside to find resources (there are also other types of missions). During a mission, the characters explore a map and fight enemies in turn-based combat. It's cold, so they can't stay outside for too long. You have to manage the characters and the scarce resources, with the lurking menace of a base invasion that will happen in a determined number of turns. There are various strategies to try and things to learn, with rooms that can be upgraded and the characters who gain useful skills with experience. I like the retro pixel graphics. The interface reminds in some aspects a board game: in the base, to do an action, you slide a character token on a room and then make a choice in a menu. I appreciate this style and all works well so far. The tutorial teaches well the basics. In normal mode, you pick three goals (with various difficulty levels) and you succeed when you reach them. A successful run gives points to unlock more characters. So far, I played a few runs and I reached the easier goals. I will play more.. It's fun, but the screen is tiny (and unadjustable) and it's just too annoying to play.. This game surprised me - it plays like a roguelite board game, and the pixel tabletop aesthetic really helps it IMO.It has a surprising amount of replay value and strategic depth, though it could be improved a lot too. It doesn't work full screen for me unless I press alt-enter, and it crashed a few times before I properly got it working. Some customization of soldiers would also be welcome even if it was just their names. For the price I'd *definitely* recommend it to fans of strategy or rogue-lite, as you should find plenty of playtime in trying to survive.For a full review with screenshots : https:\/\/koolthingsforkoolkids.wordpress.com\/2016\/04\/23\/should-you-play-link\/. So this is not a polished, deeply involved game. The dialogue in the tutorial is rough. The resolution isn't good. (Though the Alt-Enter trick to make it full screen helps considerably). The graphics are serviceable.It's a fun little survival roguelike, however. You pick three characters to start and pick three goals from among a list of easy and difficult tasks that comprise your winning condition. You then give your characters tasks each day to build up your base, gather resources, sleep, explore, etc. Win or lose, you get some points that you can use to unlock new characters to choose from in your next play through.There is quite a lot of variety in characters, skill upgrades, and equipment. Combat is straightforward and brutally fair. There's a real risk of dying all of the time, which keeps you engaged.Would I have wanted to pay $25 for this? No. Was it worth my five bucks? Definitely.
