Steam review snapshots
If you like the factory genre, especially if you wish it were more bucolic, I would definitely check this one out.The last few missions become very grindy, and the shift toward magic-based mechanics feels less interesting than the more grounded production chains…The part of this game I love the most is, there are several ways of moving items around in this game, workers…In other words: [i]vibe automation[/i].Why it fits
Check it if you want simulation, strategy filtered by weird, single-player.
