Censorship on an existing work of art is bad. Create a new work of art that meets your standards if that is what you want.

Even if you ignore the sexual censorship things from Big Band's story and the egret's armband which marks them as the authoritarian regime that they are.

Big Band's story has been altered to remove the images of the police brutality he endured as a character.

It's weird to me that the devs have seemingly removed several authoritarian references... Almost as if they're now bootlickers who support police states by helping hide bad portrayals of it.

Capcom has finally done it. Damn near perfect fighting game.

Listen, You can't deny science. We yearn for the mines.

I've been playing this game 10 years or so at this point. It's amazing. Play it.

The game is adorable and fun to be sure. I'm going to give this game a "Yes" on the recommend option, but it comes with some caveats that you should know before buying.

The story is kind of shallow, but carries itself enough to not be annoying and to give a compelling enough reason to continue playing. If you're looking for a cult game with a deep story you won't find it here.

The dungeon crawling is okay. The combat is pretty simple and the non-boss enemies attack patterns are pretty easy to figure out. The only times I died in the dungeon is when I simply wasn't paying attention. This leads to the next problem.

Dying doesn't really hurt you. Yeah sure your cult loses some faith, but there are so many things in the game to easily increase your faith (rituals, food, perks, buildings) that it essentially doesn't matter. If you die, just simply take a few minutes to fix the faith.

The cult management is fun, but pretty shallow and kind of grindy. There's a mechanic in the game where you "bless" your followers. This give them something akin to experience which can level up their follower level and gives you some bonuses, but you have to do this to every follower. There's a 5-10 second animation that plays when you do it so imagine when you have 20 followers and you're spending up to 3 minutes per in game day watching this animation (plus the time it takes to run around, find a member that hasn't been blessed, interacting with them, and selecting the bless option).

Now take all of that above and apply it to the tithing system. It's the same thing except you get money from your cult members. That animation is a bit shorter, but you're probably adding 2 extra minutes with a lot of followers.

You can kind of alleviate this with one of the perks you get in the later part of the game, but you can only alleviate one of the options and it isn't as efficient as you doing it yourself.

There also appears to be some sort of friendship/rivalry system to the cult members, you'll often see members talking to each other and you'll get a notification about them being friends, but if that does anything other than flavor text I never noticed.

It's a fun game, but I would recommend waiting for it to go on sale. It feels like an self published indie game while looking like a Devolver Digital game if that makes sense.

On a rating scale of 10, where 5 a mediocre game I would give this game a 6.5/10.

On an IGN scale, I would give this game a 8/10.

BUSTER!

Game is a lot of fun. I really enjoy playing with the same group over and over. Your tactics start to evolve and gas lighting start to happen and it's awesome.

Man... this game is so good. The devs describe this game as "A sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller." and I think that's the perfect description.

Yes, you do survive on a new world, yes you will need to protect yourself from raids and misfortune, but regardless, you will have a new story each and every time.

If you like to play tabletop games for the roleplaying, it's really fun to immerse yourself in your colony and roleplay as their overwatcher. You'll cry when your colonists die, you'll celebrate with them as they get married, you'll get tense as your doctors are tireless patching up your colonists who have mere minutes left to live.

Just get this game man.

Game is a ton of fun and has great music. Don't expect any hand holding though, this game is hard!

Works on Linux! Game is extremely fun and has controller support.

If your controller doesn't work, they have a form where you can submit your controller information and they'll add it to the game! The wired Nintendo Pro controller will hopefully be in next patch!
