May 2025
It's cheap, the core gameplay loop is fun. I wish there were a few more options and graphical tweaks - seeing individual parts' remaining HP would be nice - but for three bucks? Man, I got way, way more than three bucks worth of fun out of it. Don't expect more than a fun little indie romp, but it is a fun little indie romp.

This was one of the first modern "Survivors-like" I ever played. Maybe I have nostalgic glasses because of that but I don't think so - even in hindsight I really enjoyed my time with Run Build Pew! It's got balance issues, sure. Maybe some are even significant as within a few hours you'll gravitate toward same-y (or meme) builds. But I enjoyed my time constructing each of those ships and seeing them reach their inevitable end. It's worth noting that your "one of three" upgrades you pick require placement on your craft - and you expand your craft by building with those modules. It's pretty basic but there's definitely side, range, etc. limitations to consider. And what's there works well and is really well implemented with the other systems. Some have critiqued the limited duration of the game's appeal. You're (probably) not going to get a bajillion hours out of this, but what you will get is a few, maybe 12+ hours of solid fun. Though it looks like some new modes and such were added since last I played, so probably longer! Plus Steam Deck approved! And it's three danm dollars. It is *absolutely* worth three danm dollars. And know this was the first game from the newly minted Knight Owl Games - a studio made by friends over 7 years of effort who apparently only build super well constructed charming games. Three danm dollars to be part of that is pretty rad. TL;DR - talking about this game makes me want to boot it up again and that's what I'm gonna do. Spend the three danm dollars.

A fun game, with a weird difficulty curve. Starts difficult, you need to focus on farming upgrade currency. then once you unlock some additional modules and weapon upgrades it becomes easier and you can go on the offensive. Took me about 3 hours before I could do missions on hard mode.

I didn't think I would like this game, but I really did and played it thoroughly building your ship is fun, and doesn't have many fiddly mechanics, most of your guns fire automatically within range, so combat is more like Vampire Survivors
