« pas interessant on tourne en rond. Au bout de 15 min je regardais deja l'heure tellement le temps me paraissait long »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 1 h played« Sadly, its soulless. Feels like another one of these copys, i dont want to call names but its the same menu and all (from the mode menu owards), but not the same fun... its just a mindless grind from mid game on, dopamin is not hitting. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 2 h played« Abducting humans is a really cute idea for an incremental game, but unfortunately this one falls flat. It's just plain boring. The skill tree is completely linear and requires zero thought or effort to decide what to unlock next. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 0 h played« Short and repetitive unless you leave game running AFK to skip grind. I want to like this game so hopefully there's some updates planned. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 6 h played« The upgrade tree looks like it has a lot of choices, but that's illusory as it is incredibly linear. It took 2 hours to beat Normal mode. I should've stopped after 30 minutes. I have no desire to play any of the other modes. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 2 h played« Abduction isn’t kidnapping, it’s a rescue. 👽🛸 .......... Abdução não é sequestro, é resgate ! 👽🛸 »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 5 h played
