Steam review snapshots
It has a foundation for a nice RTS, but if you buy it now, you might have to rely on the narrative…Especially on my first impression, that faded neon brightness just conveys an unpleasing palate design and hints that it won't work.Cosmic horror, biopunk, and post apocalyptica seamlessly weave together to form the world of the Great Tapestry, a grotesquely beautiful hellscape beset…Early exploration is a must to acquire the resources needed to tackle the main objectives in most missions; if you're guided in…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by single-player.
