Quotes (from this video)
  • Um I saw that this was released on Amazon and it was going to come pretty quickly, so I jumped on it.
  • The damage you do, you actually take into your aggro bar. And then I think the last thing I'll do, I'll use the sniper rifle once per turn.
  • So, we have to destroy one of our items to um to prevent the hit.
  • I'm really enjoying it. Very simple to play. Um, but yeah, let me know if I made any mistakes. Um, happy to, you know, put the corrections in the description. But uh, a fun fun game and definitely easy to manage solo.
