Moodboard is ok. Flavor is ok. One of the missions I did not submit was focused around a train. It's a really cool concept.
Rules & Complexity This seems extremely complex. The train starts at objective 1. It can move up to 3 objectives a turn at max speed. It needs to reach objective 14 across four turns. 1+(3*4) = 13. Unless there's something I've missed it is impossible for the one driving the train to win even at max speed all 4 turns.
Adherence to theme
There's a progression. But it's a train, and its minimum speed is 0, so it's possible it doesn't move at all, and its speed doesn't continually increase. There's no wagons added. I don't see the growth.
Moodboard looks ok. Flavortext is nice. Alien ecosystems are cool.
Rules Clarity
Some superfluous rules. Not to bad. The rule seems a bit complex. There are three types of special terrain, and they all have their own rules, there's some random effects some of them chain into other effects.
Adherence to Theme
Things only grow conditionally, either on a 6+ on a D6 or if a player includes blast/indirect weapons in their army. Not sure how reliable that is. Alien ecosystem growing in explosive spurts is very on theme though.
Concepts & Originality Moodboard is really good. Models and they match the concept. Flavor is short and to the point. The concept seems straightforward enough.
Rules Clarity Some superfluous rules but not to bad. There are a lot of different npcs. It would have been fun if the moon did something as well. Overall pretty clear what is happening.
Adherence to Theme
There's a defense force that gets launched so there are more and more ships. This is on theme.
Moodboard is ok. Includes Models but no model of a Titan. There is a picture though of two of them fighting. Flavortext is fun. I made several missions I didn't submit and one of them was fighting an NPC Titan. It's a cool concept.
Rules Clarity There are some superfluous rule that repeats the core rules. The game seems modestly complex. I don't think it's to bad. The Titan seems extremely easy to kill since it has no Defense.
Adherence to Theme A Titan that eats stuff and objectives and grows from it is on theme. Running around the terrain and eating things is a cool idea.

Concepts & Originality Moodboard is pretty cool. The flavortext is on point.
Rules Clarity I don't understand.
...after reading trough the rules very carefully I think I understand it. I think it would be simple to play. You just run a durable and fast army up the middle of the board and hope they don't die. Lots to keep track of and set up and understand though.
Adherence to Theme
It's not greatly on theme. The zone might grow by a couple of inches, and units for the defender replenish. The concept of a growing nightmare would be on theme and really cool but the rules doesn't quite model that.
Moodboard is cool and includes actual models and I think they are opr models and they're on theme. Flavortext is short and to the point and opens up for a cool concept.
Rules Clarity Some superfluous rules that only repeat core rules. Not to many npcs. The rules seem modestly complex. The NPC direction is fairly simple, they just stand and fight.
Adherence to Theme Not entirely sure how things grow. It says grows your reputation in the flavor but that's a bit of a stretch.
Moodboard is very cool and evocative. Flavortext is short and to the point.
Rules Clarity
Some superfluous rules already covered by core rules, but could be worse. The rest seems moderately complex. Had to read trough it a couple of times to figure it out.
Adherence to Theme
Gathering more and more resources is on theme. It feels difficult to gather for more than one turn. You'd probably need to leave at turn 3 to reach the drop off point with the speed malus. Theme is there but might be complicated to fulfil.
Moodboard/Cover is cool and very spooky. The guy on the ghost horse with a flaming head especially Flavor text could have been shortened and is a bit generic but works.
Rules Clarity Many superfluous rules already covered by the Core rules. Seem super complex. An npc model and a token mutation effect with five different mutations, multiple phases and bloodlust tokens and invocation tokens and you get tons of VP.
Adherence to Theme It's on theme. Would be better if the Harbinger was guaranteed to spawn. Feels unlikely for it to happen. Would be better if you could pick up the token earlier than end of Turn 2. So the theme is there but it seems... difficult to get it to work?
Cover art is nice. Moodboard is nice. I like the pink AI ship monsters battling it out. Flavor text is not overly long.
Rules Clarity. Many superfluous rules. The deployment is non-standard and scoring seem progressive so their inclusion is necessary. Many other things could have been skipped: Battlefield, Army, Deployment, First Turn, who goes first, how to gain control objectives and more are all unnecessary. Over half the mission just repeat the core rules. The actual special rules seem a bit but not extremely complex. A couple of things to keep track of but not to bad.
Adherence to Theme
It is on theme and a bit cinematic. The gimmick is cool.
