As for the game, I was initially put off by the pictures showing different colors of dice, cards and many small tokens. However, I watched a few videos of people playing the game and began to think that it looked interesting and made sense. I was particularly taken with the AI system. I have now played about 6 or 7 solo games using AI as an opponent. While the rules take a while to get used to as they are different than many other systems out there, I have come to enjoy them and will continue. I have come to like the multi-colored dice and cards for different weapons and upgrades. The tokens are a little fiddly but you also get used to them. Several points to improve: the basic AI rules are pretty easy to understand but the more advanced AI rules (subject A and object B or some such) are almost incomprehensible so I just ignore them and do what I think makes sense. Also, some mechanism for character advancement would be really great. I know there is an RPG version but I don't have it and apparently there is no solo/AI method. I know character advancement will be hard given the cards with set stats. To be fair, I have not yet tried settlement mode so perhaps that will give me what I am after.
