I played it in "usual" style in the beginning and found it too repetitive after some time. But because I purchased it during Steam Programming Fest, I was curious what part of the game is related to programming, except a few logical components. Then I realized, there is a Programmer captain class, which disables any input for drone during the mission and you need to build the drone for completely for fully automated mission completion. This could get quite challenging at times, but for me it added that depth which I needed to complete the game at least once.

Pros: - Building drones is fun. - Logic gates are fun. Cons: - The missions are repetitive. - The enemies are repetitive. - The maps are repetitive. - The grind is boring. Overall: I give this game about 7 out of 10. Note: It has so much unused potential. A proper storyline and less grind can push the score to 9/10.

This is a game I really wish I could give a 'MIXED' rating, but since I can't, I will settle for a positive mark. Its biggest draw is the ability to make your own machines. You are free to use all available parts (received for completing missions) as long as you can pay the cost. So you could create a monstrosity that has 10 different guns, but it freezes solid since you forgot to add a heater to it in a mission on an ice planet... Totally didn't happen to me. Nope! The unfortunate part is - the rest of the game gets stale rather quickly. There is not that much mission variety and when it comes to the content that is in the game, some of it is nothing special. I recently came back to it after years of not playing it and I couldn't finish even a single run (they can be guite lengthy though). My recommendation is to try it out for an hour or two and if it doesn't click, don't push yourself into trying to enjoy it

Underrated sandbox-rougelike-engineering game with an (actually) unique building system. The snakes are terrifying.
