About this game

Humanity is enslaved by an AI… which is awesome, because we’re on the right side of the conflict. Exploit puny humans to extract power and build your own empire! You’ll have to keep track of them to make sure they don’t succumb to exhaustion and hunger… although the weakest ones can always be thrown to the Bioreactor.
In other words, this is a indie resource management sim with rogue-lite elements, dramatic plot, and an abundance of pop culture references. Also, humor. Slaughter has never been so fun!

Key features:
1) Humor as dark as your ex’s heart. Immerse yourself in the life of a merciless tyrant!!
2) Resource management on steroids. Think fast, to the point, and abandon pity!
3) Rogue-lite (Almost roguelike) Every walkthrough is unique due to randomly generated events. And every failure is fatal — you’ll have to start over!
4) Easy to learn, hard to master. It only takes a couple minutes to figure out the game’s mechanics, but using them optimally is no small feat!

Core gameplay consists of transporting puny humans between various facilities using mechanical claws. They rest in one of the facilities and work in all the others. Puny humans are to produce energy for us (which is leaking constantly), they also have to reproduce and feed themselves. You need to plan your strategy and tactics in advance and track all your humans so that they don't die of exhaustion. The foremost roguelike element is that you can't save the game - you have to start from scratch every time. Besides that, a random event happens after every five feedings in the form of a text quest. A correct choice may provide some bonus, an incorrect one - well, you'll see! Many of the modifiers that you get due to the random events change the game's look significantly.

In the second campaign besides resource management you get a totally new "raid" mechanic. Send your humans on expeditions around a procedurally generated map and earn resources without any limits. Come on, you have to find the Time Machine lost in the wastelands of 3k-land!

I love this game, but recently the game has been running in an extremely streched and unplayable resolution (like 1:10 ratio) on my Galaxy Note 10+. Changing the 'stretch image' setting doesn't help, and the main menu shows up completely fine, so I'm not sure what's wrong. I would very much like this fixed/to know how to fix this so I can keep playing this game!

Great game! It's decently challenging, and the different modes give it a lot of replay value. My only criticism is some of the UI is too small for mobile. But tbh it's not a big enough issue to really detract from the game at all. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes resource management games! Edit: Thanks for the reply. I did not realize I could swipe and hold to move a bunch at once. The game is still great and I find I pick it back up regularly over the years.

This game is ported from pc, we tried to do the best with UI. Just in case, I will say that the swipe can be "held" to "hold down" the button btw - thanks for the great review =)

Gameplay is fun, but balancing is absolutely braindead. Even the standard starting campaign is difficult to the point of impossibility. Tutorial does little to explain the strategy of the game, just the mechanics. Random events can completely derail a run which just feels cheap and unsatisfying. Also needs a "start again" confirmation, as the one time I was actually managing to progress decently well I had the game paused and accidentally tapped it and lost all that time.
