This is the first game I bought on steam without any input of friends or anything else, it was on a whim and purely for the idea of genre's and ideals I thought took my fancy. None of those reasons alone give a statement on why I am giving this review however this is simply put the game that led to me being focused on Steam as a platform, I would've never played half the PC games that I have without this. This'll sound weird to most people but this is a highly influential game for me and I think the 4+1/2 hours I played of this game led me to play more PC games, so much more than anything else for myself, and to look into other games that satisfied my own interests. This game is totally worth your time, yes it's something to complete in a sitting but who doesn't want a compartmentalised experience that feels good and satisfying?? Enjoy purchasing this on sale and playing through it in your own time! It's totally worth it!

Your base consists of a 6 by 6 grid of land tiles, and all the tiles can be flipped in unison to reveal 6 by 6 more land tiles. Part of the strategy is choosing when to flip your tiles during a fight. Your base needs oxygen and adding more people requires adding more trees to compensate for oxygen usage. In fast mode people use more oxygen than normal. People fight melee, but if there are defense towers, then they battle first before any melee takes place. You'll need a warehouse to collect stone, wood, chests, or fuel and then choose what other buildings (hospital, armory, artifact house, shields, trees, walls, offensive towers). Chests are opened with purchased keys. Gameplay consists of flying your base from node to node through space, where nodes are either enemy bases, enemy super-bases, repair nodes, stores or treasure. Enemy bases either wait to be attacked or attack immediately. There are 6 enemy super-bases, and conquering them unlocks new weapons. When all 6 super-bases are destroyed the game is won. Pros: - Combines game mechanics from the following genres: Tower defense, Roguelike, 4x - Randomized maps - Artifacts - Early game tension - Every enemy base you wipe out opens new weapons, which adds some variety. Cons: - No save. I have beaten the game both in easy and hard modes in one sitting perhaps under an hour. So the lack of saving is not as bad as you might think. - The tension seems to wear off later - There are still some bugs - The game defaults to Russian and it's tricky to get it into English again. It's sort of an introductory mini-game "decipher the language to find out the English setting" :) - The game gets pretty grindy near the end. Not being able to save is a big minus. Is it worth $1? No it's worth $2 or $3 - maybe even $5 after it's polished. Get it while it's cheap and buy 3 copies to share with your friends! Is it better than many games you pay $50? Of course not! Why would you think that? Whenever you pay more money you automatically enjoy the game that much more. Especially when titles are developed by armies of people and all of them are throwing each other under the bus and the bugs are left to the player base to catch and gripe about in the forums. Actually this game (as far as gameplay goes) is at least as good as many higher end titles (like Civilization for example). Is it fun? I think so. But buy it yourself and find out! Get a refund if you don't like it before 2 hours are up. I think it's well worth the time to give it a try.

I beat the game's easy mode in 3 hours flat. Normally that would mean a do not recommend from me, but that's because I generally use a "dollar per hour" pricing scheme for games, and well, you can't argue with one dollar. The coding is solid, the graphics adorable, and the mechanics easy to grasp. There's not a tutorial beyond a help menu with a few tips, but it's simplistic enough that an astute gamer doesn't need that. I could have left it in the default russian and still had a general idea of what I was doing and where I was going. If you're a parent wanting to buy something a 3-10 year old can enjoy an evening with, this <100MB game is definitely it. It also drops steam cards, so if you're into that it's cheaper than a booster pack for the gems and tradable value you get out of it. All around I rate this game candybar out of ten, because it's sweet, enjoyable but brief, and only a dollar. Go get yourself a RODbar, you deserve it.

A randomly generated space exploration game coming out the same day as No, Man's Sky. While I did not buy NMS because I dont care about hype and I would never spend $60 on a fully procedural indie game, I saw ROD for rediculously low price of $1. Based on the price, I had no expectations of this game actually being good. I was pleasantly surprised. ROD is not only good, but it has some amazing and unque systems that separate it from anything else I have ever played. Its an interesting mix of tower defense, rogue-like, exploration and resource management. Good music, solid design and and twist of mystery make ROD the best deal I have seen in a long time. GG!

Interesting little game. I bought it because the game description reminded me of the flying cities from James Blish's _Cities in Flight_ written in the 1950s. Gameplay consists of constructing items in your flying city and travelling to different star systems. Star systems can contain a store, a repair center or another flying city. One can harvest resources at another flying city; sometimes this involves slaughtering the locals. The game appears to be developed by a Russian or Ukrainian (sorry, I can't read the Cyrillic alphabet well-enough to distinguish between the two languages), but the instructions are clear enough. For the price, it's a reasonable game.
