I enjoyed this game alot, would definitely play again when more content is added or DLC is released! I don't understand all the negative comments about how "grindy" it is, i finished this game within two days and could of got it done alot sooner if i didn't dig out 70% of the map Running on high settings made my pc want to explode though Once you get dynamite the grind is reduced significantly and you can get dynamite REALLY early on, just make sure you don't disassemble it I do agree with a previous reviewer, i did feel a few of the new skills were kinda useless, for me anyways. I felt the resource scanner was only sorta useful, i kinda didn't really need it until rare moments happened like a random pocket not being filled with resources would appear but there is usually too much resources around for it to matter much anyway, i also felt like after the 2nd or third energy upgrade i didn't need to worry about energy after that, especially since dynamite doesn't use any energy when in use. I was a little disappointed with the ending though, i finished the game with a since of urgency after seeing the nuke like the devs expected but i had a thought, what would happen if i stayed on the surface after the nuke went off? Nothing, nothing at all, no damage nothing changed and i could still dig freely, i know we're essentially on a movie set but i think it would of been cool if SOMETHING happened if you stayed up top, and a New game + mode would be really appreciated, i thought that was gonna be a thing after getting the golden auto shovel with wifi in the ending cinematic :C

I HATE THAT IN ORDER TO TRY NEW TURRET I HAVE TO START COMPLETELY OVER. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST BUY AND SWAP. PLEASE CHANGE THIS. I dont wanna restart as Ive dug out the entire map and not just tunnels.

Really fun game, has a good core gameplay loop. I appreciate the devs not putting the game in Early Access for several years like most people do today, I'm OK with minor issues on launch being fixed within a day of the game coming out. Games get most of their momentum the week that they release, it's better to support the devs if you see a great product that is 80-90% of the way there than to put them down over minor issues (that have already been fixed). This is my first review on steam just to try to help them a little, I'm thoroughly enjoying the game.

Very addictive. 10 hours in and ive evolved into a cave dwelling goblin. Pretty sure im close to the ending unless the game has already ended and im just refusing to leave. Won over 2500$ on the slot machine? Nice. Now quickly pick up all those 1$ bills before your PC blows up.
