    A cocktail of 4X, city building, and RPG mechanics that’s as disruptive as the sentient AI it revolves around. Arcen reconfigures established genre conventions around a thoughtful narrative, simultaneously questioning what it means to be human and a 4X game can be.

    This modern, original turn-based strategy game with RPG elements offers the unusual experience of building an empire of machines. However, mastering the new mechanisms requires patience. There are many activities in the game that could have been better explained. The game is interesting, but also tedious.

    A high-concept, fascinating strategy RPG that can start to buckle under its own ambitions.
