The game is genuinely fun — I had a great time playing. The strategic layer of choices feels meaningful and is really well handled. You can end up with a wild build, which is super satisfying. It makes you want to push the bonuses to the limit (like, just how far can I crank up my firing speed?)
Balancing also feels solid — well, except in those rare moments when you get a streak of useless options in a row. One thing that's missing is the energy cost display when buying wagons, maybe in a 2.0 ?
