The verdict
A promising early-access mash-up of base building, roguelite FPS and Palworld-style capture, with fun combat. Skip it if you want deep systems, smart AI or a finished game at full price.
Great for
Fans of genre mash-ups: fast shooting, light base management and capturing soldiers, who accept early access
Main risk
Systems feel shallow and repetitive, so the loop may run dry after 20-30 hours.
