TaB is fun but also pretty mean. I ragequit this last night after several tries finally made progress and I got raided by harpies I wandered upon, right outside base then bulldozed/blocked them off, then got side swiped by a raid that just 'happened' to get started at same time while other map stragglers/doom dwellers joined in to see what all the noise was about. After about six hours, clearing more than half of the map that is a very discouraging way to lose a game. But there is something about this game that makes me want to win at least the first map (and try the others) I wound up playing it again. It's a very unique game and has some really cool engine features (like noise) i'd say it's 'halfway there' in terms of development. It runs fine but when your guys trumble about on each other, hitch around or can't get a shot off as a steady streaming horde has no issue flowing in like fluid it goes on a two point sliding scale of 'kind of annoying control bug" to "**** this game" in moments! Even without any kind of hitching or anything though the way the game will turn against you in moments to dash your hopes is pretty nuts, there's a lot you can do but it feels like there's a lot you also just can't do too!

When I gave this a spin I wasn't expecting a kind of smart pause RTS Nuclear Throne that doles out frustration and self loathing in longer >4 hour sessions but thats close to what this is. Play it!
