Why I like this game, the Dungeon Core vibe.

[Aoroi]

So after enjoying the Beta and re-watching various videos I finally realized why I like this game as a whole. For the last 3 years, I have been mainly reading LITrpg and Dungeon Core novels. The premise of the books is usually the same, a person dies, turns into a "core," and must defend their dungeon from invaders.

This game is almost exactly like that, or can be seen as one. You are the dungeon core, building the base. Need a new wall? Spend resources and create it out of thin air. Design traps to repel invaders, and create minions (guards) out of nothing. You can even inhabit the guards to create pathing much like how many DC novels allow the dungeon to control a boss or minion. Slowly you grow as a dungeon and have more access to traps and guards. Even the build area you are restricted to and freely fly around in is your core's influence range.

As a raider, you play as a minion that you create and outfit. Does the raider die? Your mind floats away until you inhabit another one (respawn) all to destroy and take the shards of other cores (gen-mat) after going through their dungeon.

I know I am looking too much into this, and perhaps the game does not have as much depth, but for me, this really ups the fun factor. Takes me back to the days of Dungeon Keeper and the like.
