I know it says recommended, but this is more of a situational recommendation. So far I love this game. Its genuinely the exact type of game I've been searching for for years.

There is just one huge issue: no multiplayer.

No online multiplayer, no LAN multiplayer, not even hot-seat multiplayer.
That is just insane to me, multiplayer should be an absolute no-brainier for turn based strategy games such as this, and for many many people, a deciding factor for whether or not they will buy the game. I will still play and enjoy this game in single player, but I have multiple friends who would have bought this game as well if only it had multiplayer.

The devs did mention that adding multiplayer to the game could be a possibility if the players want it. I'm just trying to make it as clear as possible that people do want this. If you are reading this and are a player who is turned off by the lack of multiplayer, vote this review as helpful and wishlist the game.

Edit: Changed the review to recommended to appease the people spamming comments thinking a single negative review (which says the game is actually good in the very first sentence) on a game labeled "very positive" is somehow going to destroy the dev's whole career.

mfw changing my review score killed this review by wiping its likes.

I have now made the difficult decision to change the review to a recommended. I really don't think I was hurting sales with a single negative review when the game is already scored as "very positive". I do truly think the devs deserve the credit for a well made game though, thats the true reason I changed it. I know the game is not labeled as multiplayer and it was never promised, but I also know that not all people check the labels and a bare minimum of local multiplayer is usually expected for turn based strategy games such as this. That is why I thought it important to point out, controversially using a negative review to ensure I caught people's attention.

Just know I have full power to delete any comments on this review and as much as I hate it, I will be forced to do so if you people keep turning this place into a warzone.

Doesn't have multiplayer, SAYS it doesn't have multiplayer, entitled wankers thumbs-down the game anyway. Seriously?!

@Aokami, People are not attacking the multi-player statement. Is that he down voted the game because it doesn't have it. When it was not mentioned as an option on store page.

Has every right to want it in the game. That's what discussion threads are for or getting on discord to post it to the dev as a want.

why no recommendation for a feature the game never promised or tagged to have?

This is quite selfish and destructive

This is a shitty thing to do to a dev that made a great game.

Why give a negative rating for no multiplayer when the game never advertised itself as having multiplayer? Just read the game description and if you are still unsure ask in the game forum.

I don't want it to be multiplayer. All that means in this day and age is live service and microtransaction nonsense.
