It really is special. I initially tried it out because I liked the aesthetic and the map setup/setting; small fantasy colony surrounded by impenetrable forest in a post-apocalyptic world. I was really skeptical about the roguelike x citybuilder hybrid as I like long city-builder sessions with huge maps and elaborate city designs, but they pulled it off perfectly.

I have 100+ hours. I did stop playing after the one of the early access builds made some changes that undermined by core strategy, but that's a personal thing. Really need to try out the DLC and start from scratch.
