Early Access Review
It does have some of the "roughness" of an early access game, but ultimately, the game is functional. The base gameplay is novel, but something that was satisfying to learn and engage with. Definitely takes a bit a patience (at least for now), but I'd say there's a good amount of fun to be had with this game.

I hold this game in as high esteem as games such as Undertale and Oneshot.
It would be a mistake to dismiss this game, as I once did.

This game made me really care about it. It's one of those games where the writing, music, graphics, and gameplay all work together to give life to the characters within it. Even though the setting takes place in a small area (comprising of 2 buildings, 3 caves, and a bake stand), it still feels like an entire world that had a past from before you started playing and a future that unfolds after you stop playing. Every part of the game serves towards this purpose. The developer took the time and effort to make sure every small, nuanced detail felt right. Whether it's a quirky little animation, the presence (or absence) of circumstance-fitting music, or the sound effects that make every footstep and enemy strike sound just right, this game does a phenomenal job making sure that every contributes an immersive experience. You’re not interacting with a piece of software, you’re interacting with a world.

However, this game, as is all games, is not perfect. The combat can be a bit unintuitive owing to the fact that enemies can attack you while you are selecting your move, but you will PROBABLY get used to this and after that, boy, does it become quite an exciting experience. In addition, this game has many mentions of death. While this sounds terrible on paper, the game does manage to pull out some interesting game choices out of it. Unless you have trouble discerning fiction from reality (or are uncomfortable with the mention of death), you should be fine. All other flaws I won't elaborate on because they're subjective nitpicks (ex. didn't like a word choice; thought a certain sprite looked weird; thought that the music overplayed the "spooky" instruments that one time in the game).

If you're looking for a game that will make you invested in a new experience, you might have just found it.

This game is really fun to play. It does a great job of teaching you the mechanics while having a great amount of depth that leaves you wondering "How can I do that better?" or "What if I try this?". Also has the most prolific and community-oriented (and nicest) developer I've ever seen. Would recommend.

Takes a little time to learn the game, but afterwards, it becomes quite an experience.

Normally, I try to have a waiting period of 5 days before uttering any opinion, but ugghhh, can't help myself this time.
This game was floating in my following list for a while, but I download one day since it's free, so why not and I was quite amazed by the game I saw before me. It's one of those games that fill you with that child-like sense wonder when you pick it up. You just have so many ideas you want to try out and you can spend who-knows-how-long thinking about what you are going to do and which ideas you want to implement. It's that feeling that I look for in games.

Aside from the overexcited blabbering,

Pros:
It's free
Promising gameplay
Expecting regular updates
Fun to play

Cons:
Hard to find players 2AM EST
Took 5 minutes to realize that the green line is firing range and the white line is line of sight
Actually has to get used to the new controls because it isn't Steel Division
Took another 5 minutes to realize that charging entrenched infantry was a bad idea
Some other guy in the reviews said something about no anti-cheat, which is worrying (at least out of context)

All in all, this (free) game is at least worth a few minutes of your time to try out and see if you like it.
