Good, but not $20 good. Wait for a sale to drop it to $10 and then it's worth it.

Lacks any real objectives; just grow more food and get more population. Seems like the developer abandoned it halfway through. Not that anything is broken; everything in the game is "complete", it just feels like more complex mechanics were intended to be included but never made it.

This is barely even a game.

Somewhat boring, far too challenging without resorting to cheating, and too short of a campaign with a very vague plot.

A game like this shouldn't have a story. When you attempt to add one, it is lame and annoying.

Portalarium is just a bunch of scammers who run off with the money and don't deliver on promises.

It's a decent time occupier. Takes several hours to complete the whole thing, though there's really not much new content as you progress - just different "leaders" to attempt to force different play styles and different "monsters" for one game mode if you want to unlock everything. For less than the price of a movie ticket, it's well worth it. Also worth a few bucks to point out that Linux games do in fact have a market.

In the small amount I played, there were no options, just do this, do that, then do the other thing. Complete linearity with no choice involved makes a visual novel, not a game.

Quite repetitive once you've played the first few missions and get into a play style, unless you die and then have to rework your style with your new character's starting weapons. Yet, I keep on playing it, so clearly the repetitiveness isn't a big problem.

Quite short (finished it in a few hours tonight having just bought it), but worth the money. Might play through it another time or two just to try to get better stats.

I suck at these games and usually get stuck by the fourth level or so (planet in this case), but the levels before that are fun to do, so + anyway :)
