Rating this one is hard. I backed it for a long time, when the dev started his Patreon.
The game is full of great design ideas, and includes very nice quality writing.
However, some parts of the gameplay do not make any sense. Combat balance, for example, has been a mess more or less from the start. It's now better, but far from perfect.
My major complaint with the game is the absolute inability of the dev to respect deadlines.
When this project was new, updates were frequent and included major features. Now, each update is delayed for weeks, if not months, and includes a quite limited amount of content.
The dev has been kicked out of Patreon since that platform changed its policy, so he might have encountered a significant loss of revenue. However, delays were already very common when Patreon was still a thing, and considering their revenue back at the time, it was very unprofessional not to work on the game, or at least to hire external help.
TL;DR: play and enjoy the game. Just don't fund its Subscribestar expecting frequent and significant updates.
