Roam around harassing NPCs and accidentally-clicking in combat.

It has some really obvious and fundamental flaws that make it just terrible to cope with. I feel like I have to struggle against its design. The abilities are buckshot across the interface, the inventory is a hot mess, and combat is awkward and unforgiving. The dialog trees are kind of stupid most of the time, and player customization isn’t particularly present, which is strange for a roleplaying game. I can only see that this has appeal because there have been no decent AAA games lately, and their variety is absolute shit.

A pretty basic tower defence game, with the twist that enemies reach your core and carry off power thingies. I think I remember a Flash game like this.

It’s kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.

A simple semi-roguelike tactics-esque game.

A top-down strategy game.

I dunno, it’s slow and awkward and has more talking than playing. Maybe I’d just have to wade through for much more time before the real game happens, but I’m not going to give it that chance. A game should be fun immediately.

An awkward early-access survival game which features wandering around, being killed by boars and trees, and attempting to build structures.

I might have been able to deal with boring and ugly, but the interface is shit; pass. Maybe when this is released I’ll care again.
