Genuinely one of the most stressful yet relaxing games I've played in years.

DOST THOU EVEN MOISTEN THE SOIL!?

Seriously though, if you enjoy Harvest Moon/Terraria, enjoy micromanaging things and killing time while being relaxed and stressed out at the same time, get this.

I remember a game I used to play back in the day called Super Smash T.V. Crazy amounts of enemies, top down style, cool guns and lots of replayability. I also remember wishing in those days I could also create my own levels in the game, since it seemed really basic even at the time the game came out...

I see this game on sale and decided to take a look, and I was floored. Everything came rushing back to me as if I was a little kid again, intensely staring at an arcade machine with sweaty palms and shaking knees. Dry mouth from being frustrated and 100 percent satisfied with what I had going for me at the moment. The fast-paced decision making and lucky gambits started flowing through my hands; my mind felt like it was on fire.

After I get destroyed a few times in the early days I really get the hang of the defense systems in the game, and just go berserk. It seemed like the hordes were melting in front of my wall of turrets, iron defenses led to sharp counter-attacks and remarkable saves. Days flew by it seemed and the weapon upgrades just kept coming. I felt like I had finally returned to my gaming roots...and it felt good.

10/10 - Would forget what time was again.

On the second mission (I think) I was tasked with saving/protecting several outposts from being overrun with bandits and mutants. I had no idea where to go or what I was doing...all I heard were the screams of the people being shot at by bandits and tore apart by mutant chickens....I almost got to maybe the lsat outpost as the timer expired and I fall to the ground dead.

1000/10. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this game.
