    A well-presented game, but exploring shows it's more dilapidated cabin than ominous mansion. [July 2018, p.65]

    There are a ton of great ideas here, and I particularly dig this whole concept of a management game that’s about a production line for silent slaughter rather than cash-generation as such, but the best stuff can struggle to breathe through the excessive micro-management. The stereotype-heavy gags and iffy translation make things more of a drag than they deserve to be too. It’s well worth persevering with MachiaVillain despite this.

Visually the cartoon styling really compliments the game and will have you hooked for hours on end. Don’t expect to just pickup the game and be able to master it from the offset, however. Give yourself a good couple of hours and a few resets and you’ll be killing off victims by the truck load.… Full Review »

    A good quality management game in the vein of Rim World and other "colony management" games with its own unique take and flavor on the genre.A good quality management game in the vein of Rim World and other "colony management" games with its own unique take and flavor on the genre. The basic mechanics are well known, but the game has a really well done art and aesthetic that makes it stand out from other more simple management games.… Full Review »
