Anyone else pick up this surprise "and it's available right now!" game?
Honestly, I bought it without realizing it was a procedurally generated roguelike, which is usually not my thing, so I probably wouldn't have bought it had I known, but I'm enjoying this one?
Basically it is a roguelike strategy game on tight little maps with a limited amount of turns. Each battle only really takes like 5 minutes or so. You're mostly just trying to survive and keep enemies from attacking the power grid (which does not replenish in between battles and when you zero it out you lose, though there are ways to get it back up), but each area has some bonus objectives too, and completing them is important for the upgrade system and, well, ultimately staying alive basically. You work your way through 2-4 islands (about 5 battles per island?) and then fight the main boss. Of course if you lose, you have to do it all over, but as long as one of your pilots survives, you can keep your upgrades.
It's interesting. Not sure if it is going to change my mind on roguelikes but I'm liking it so far.
I know Anand has to be playing this...
