Only 500 players?
Is it worth getting the game? It's like 60$ yet barely seem to have any players

If you are referring to steam charts, you can see that the game has been growing every day since the release, which happened just like 4 days ago. And there are also folks at other platforms.

But judging if the game is worth it by amount of players is not a very insightful metric anyways. Best recommendation I can give, is to check out some playthroughs, and check if you like what you see :)

Imagine thinking people keep steam running.

I've never used that metric to determine when to buy a turn-based, strategy game. It's not an MMO. To answer your question: It's a 100% worth getting if you like turn-based strategy games.

Thanks, literally what I wanted to know. The player count was just a observation.

I like the game better than GSIII so far. It improves on some things.

I have been taking my time with it. It was an early access title. Some games, that were early access, the developers say it a finish product, but the Finished Product label was just a label.

I like in 2000 or so, you bought a game, and it came off a store shelf, as a finished product, with a game guide. When you buy an early access title, or something that they say is a finished product, but was early access...............a lot of the guides are online. A lot of the guides may be outdated. This is a complex game that takes a game guide to understand. In the sticky notes of this forum, at this time, it states the tutorial is being worked on.

I tried to start a couple games, and find myself needing a game guide, and not being able to find information I was looking for 100%. I bought the game, but I am waiting. I am not going to work hard to be their beta tester, and think about this game overly much. I should be able to sit there and just enjoy it.
