All in all, the game is rather mediocre, but quite interesting for the first few playthroughs. Since the game is so repetitive, there isn't much replay value, even though the town management manages to be quite fun. After having finished the game twice on large maps, you have seen everything it has to offer and I didn't really feel interested anymore. The horribly simplistic combat is what killed the game for me, since you have to do so much of it and it isn't really rewarding. Another thing that really annoyed me was the fact that you cannot zoom out, and the perspective is very close to the ground so it's really hard to orientate yourself and you have to use the map a lot.

While the general premise of the game is interesting, the implementation is mediocre at best. Since it only costs $20 on Steam, you can try it out if you're interested, but don't expect anything special.
