This game was engaging to play through the first time. The way that the overworld and the underground relate to each other is interesting, allowing you to always have something to do instead of just waiting around for resources to build up. None of the systems are deep, but they mesh together enjoyably.

The game is fairly straightforward. The goals are always clear and there is one thing to be working towards at any one time: go deeper. The basic drive of the game held my attention for hours when I was playing through the first time. I beat it in short order and was taken to the title screen.

When you beat the first map, the game leaves open new maps to play, with each completed map giving you a boon on future playthroughs. The problem is the game is never that hard and once you play the first map, you have seen everything the game has to offer. Maybe there is something I don't know about in later maps, but I got halfway through the second map and felt like there was nothing else to see. My advice is to play one map, then put the game down and move on.
