While I haven't beaten this game, I've spent enough time with it that I want to share my thoughts. The crafting system is well thought out. The biggest issue with is how many resources some things require (grindy). You'll eventually get an upgrade that makes acquiring said materials much faster. Even when you're mining copper for hours the game is enjoyable. It's at its best when playing with friends.
