Decent game as far as a "base game" goes in the GrandStrategy/4x genre (case in point: Civ 5 Vanilla & Civ:BE Vanilla... need I say more? Those games also cost (at least) twice as much on launch compared to this game).

A fairly decent game, definitely worth its price. Speaking as someone who hasn't played sandbox games in a very long while:

Pros:
- Interesting mesh of gameplay systems (chaos crafting, RPG-style progression, sandbox hunting-gathering).
- Fairly immersive (when you're not explicitly trying to farm materials or speed-level a character).
- Decent (this is very subjective) background themes/music scores... although the volume could be set lower.
- Developer(s) are fairly responsive on bug reports & general suggestions.
- Great modding potential.
- For a 2D game using sprites, the art is quite pleasant.

Cons:
- The UI could use a LOT more polish.
- Some mechanics are not explained (clearly) in-game (chaos-crafting as a prime example), leaving a new player to (slowly) guess what numbers mean what, and what does what.
- Can be a bit buggy at times.
- Leveling up can be a bit of grind (e.g. hack-and-slash for a bit), but the talent point system (which is not directly tied to the main character level) alleviates this to an extent.
