It's not quite on par with the first game, it lacks many features/upgrades that one has, but this is likely an early version and that game when it was an early version had many problems/limitations that is not present in this.

This one feels very similar, it's a tower defense with resource management. For now it's very limited in both terms of different buildings and how much you can upgrade, because the max cap on meat.

Leaving a positive yet lower review in hopes it become better than the first game.
