Mining Merchant

Building on the basic framework Motherload did long ago, adding levels of complexity while making the overall experience more casual, and attaching a minor shop management component, I love this game. Highly recommended.

I haven't played the previrious games, but this one is a really nice package. You get that super old feeling doing obvious things, but it is execatelly just as much ask of you as you willing to give and be happy about it. It has tiny tactical manuvers, and can convert your IRL free time to ingame "currency", but if you don't have that the game still designed to go slow burn. The writing is REALLY good, not stupid, not cheesy, it is ... real. Personalities are diverse, but has this core double meaning on all of them, that maybe hint they are the same. Story is neat, but it's not really staggered, it's you either bust trough it, or i don't know what, it did had some unlock progression, but not story wise. It could have used a middle part where the main villian can give us more foreshadowing and maybe another character to make us guess who is the bad guy. Apart from that minute detail the game is really good overal. The best part is that the game is full, but practically all aspect can be improved. It just needs content now as the skeleton is rock solid.
