    Took a bit to figure out the mechanics, but finding it highly enjoyable. Feels more chill than other games in this category.

    It's like the orignal "The Settlers II", but with robots. On the surface a very neat game. However the main problem with the settlers was the road system halting everything to a grind at very large settlements. This game presents you with that, already in the very first mission.. A really nice game, with major balancing issues.
