In all honesty this game is fun, can get challenging,but it's addictive. Old school style gameplay is a winner plus the resource to risk ratio is pretty good. Really hope more stuff can be added to make it fun and for the love of all that is good...please no ads,it's rare to find games that aren't plastered with them, keep up the good work and we hope to see this game grow more for the people to enjoy! 💪

Amazing game, I always enjoy turn based strategy games like these. I always love to support these types of hidden gem games as long as the price model is not outrageous. The reason why I took two star off is paying 6 Euros to unlock full game doesn't actually unlock everything, you still need to pay to unlock factions. If there are unlockables anyways, why set the price point for "full game" to 6 Euros?

Thanks for playing & your feedback! The initial unlock gives access to the full core game, while additional factions are optional content. These in-app purchases help us as a studio to keep developing whilst also keeping it ad-free. If you’d like to share more thoughts, we’d love to hear from you on our Discord or at support@shortcircuitstudio.com

I was looking forward to playing the campaign after having spent some time working through the tutorial, only to be met with a paywall that is required to play the campaign at all, and at a steep price too. There are other modes available for free, but they seem more like minigames and I honestly didn't bother trying them out since I was so baffled at the campaign needing to be bought, a fact which is not mentioned anywhere by the way. So all I did was waste my time for nothing...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry the experience felt disappointing. Our store page does mention that the base game is free, with the full campaign unlocked through a one-time purchase. Free players still have access to Skirmish, puzzles, and the full tutorial. We’ll keep working on making this clearer.
