ME DEIXA JOGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Já não basta o tutorial lento na gameplay o jogo ainda tem um botão nas opções com um tutorial dos devs

I really, really like this. I remember the reviewers at the time of release complaining about the RNG. The game really clicked into place for me when I realized that the dice were the currency, and the randomness could be controlled just enough to get by. Awesome game, wish there was a tabletop version.

I've had this forever, bought it on release I think. Just could never get into it due to the difficulty, but I decided to give it a genuine attempt today. It's pretty good!

If played on the higher difficulties, it's a game that is more about mitigating damage than it is about thriving. Things are going to go wrong, no way around it, figure it out. I just wish there was a bit more meat on it then. It feels like a smaller, tighter Frostpunk, but without the moral implications. A bit more of a narrative, a connection to your crew, and these decisions might feel more impactful. As is, when my characters cannibalize someone, it's just a question of how much their stress meter will go up. Still a simple fun way to kill a few hours, pick it up for $5 bucks or less.

I enjoyed this RNG dice management game, choosing where to use my good rolls and trying to survive.

Simple. Unforgiving. Light fun.

The best of runs can be thwarted by a bad dice throw... rarely does it work the other way around.
