Fantastic work, Egosoft really outdone themselves with this game. This is by far the best X I played. It has a lil bit of X jank in there but honestly it is perfectly fine

Night city, where all your dreams come true.

A lot of questionable decisions that include: EAC, creator economy and now TOS that allows records of your voice/video in private instances. Pretyt insane ngl.

Though this is the game where everyone I care is and as long as my friends are there, I will be here - it has it flaws but in the end nothing compares to it. It is still in active development but I can't help to think they will run into a wall eventually - it didn't happen yet so let's see and hope for the best!

Would recommend, this is more than a game - it's a home for many.

I had no problems with using it, very happy with it - a lot of customization and control that the normal steam VR overlay does not provide

tedious, repetitive, bad gameplay choices.. I didn't enjoy it. Artstyle is very nice though

Sadly, this game gets very repetitive after around 5-10hours. There is a lot of potential here and I hope that they update the game to balance out the world map, the resource management and bring in some variation for game breaking strats (For example just build a huge security center with desks on your entrance and you win - the end)

I wish you could actually play around with traps more effectively and manage the casino in a more meaningful way.

I still have hope for the game but in the current state, without fond memories and nostalgia from Evil genius 1 you will probably not play through it in full.

A good game with interesting mechanics.

It's a Roguelike, Deck builder, "City builder", RPG, IDLE game - it's new and fresh and does things different.

So basically just some things I would personally consider weaknesses:
- The tessellation is bad, would be nicer when the tiles would interact with each other in a more natural way - they kind of look weird when they are all mashed together
- The balance is kinda off, Rogue is OP
- The Lore is a bit tedious to discover as it just happens all at once. if it would be mashed into the game so you have something to do while looping. that would be more interesting
- No real incentive to fight a lot of enemies since they are just very, very hard to kill (especially shipwreck enemies for example) so it basically just ends in building 10 forests -> Oblivion
- No endgame just a little bit would be nice instead of fighting the same enemies over and over. NG+ maybe. or different worlds to restore. don’t know

Love your work, can recommend! :)

It's free, fair monetization, average toxicity levels, active development and is a good shooter.

I like it

Currently after a new patch it seems more stable


-------------------
Update: seems like the game crashes and it's an common thing to happen too. Cant continue in the current state sadly.. I hope they do something.

Amazing game,

To describe it in a short manner: It is a delivery action game for introverts. With a confusing story and many NPC’s that will not stop talking even though you don’t reply to them.

I like that it has almost no integration with all those multiplayer aspects where you need a lot of friends to perform good (you know, “social integration” big companies said we need…)
You have more action than I anticipated, you walk for 5-10 minutes and you have another thing that really needs your attention to succeed.

It is refreshingly different, a good game with an interesting world and concept. All around, I can’t think of a better game to play in 2020.

+Very polished, nice graphics, interesting gameplay with different classes that vary in their style a lot, high replaybility

-No real story, repetitive gameplay, sometimes you just really don't have luck


If you like card games and deck builders you will love this game :)
