There is a fair bit of use to the time-stopping ability that stops it from feeling like a gimmick and I’m happy to see they struck that note just right.

“… wherever you are, whoever’s face your blade meets, it’s still a joy to kill all of the things and that fact helps me gloss over a lot of the issues I have with the game.”

Swag & Sorcery appeared to be everything I’ve wanted out of a management/RPG sim, but ends up working like any other number of grindy phone apps that I’ve begrudgingly deleted after a few days.

Element: Space delivers where a few others haven’t in the same genre. With a good narrative and good looking aesthetics (and checkpoints), I think we’ve got a winner here.
