1. This is sort of interesting, but the graphics are underwhelming.
2. This is too hard.
3. <Late at night> Wait, but what if I ...
4. Oh, I can give orders while the game is paused? This changes everything!
5. I got a sense of completion from beating the main objective, but the bonus objective(s) would be too tedious.

@peterdrake Oh neat, it can be paused? That does change everything indeed! 😅 I already had it wishlisted, I think I'll get it next sale. So probably in the winter.
@peterdrake I know, but I've already bought my games for this summer sale. ;)

I'm trying stick to a nice budget so I won't have a too large a backlog. I mean, shit, I've got over 3k games, surely I should play some of those first before getting much more! 😅
@trinsec I think the Steam summer sale is on now. (itch.io, too, FWIW)
