Lunar Giant, the makers of Delve Deeper, have done a good job on making this game. The problem is that they forgot some extremely vital concepts that make games playable. I’m not saying it’s not playable, but it’s cumbersome at times.
The most obvious and glaring omission in the game is any sort of save functionality. That means if you need to leave quickly, you either lose your game, or leave it paused while you are gone. If you have to turn your computer off when you go, there’s only one choice. Also, while the AI players are doing something, you can’t do anything. Not even open the menu to abandon the game or adjust any options. You are basically locked out of the game.
The game utilizes a gamepad, in my case an Xbox 360 controller, but does so poorly. You can’t navigate menus with it all of the time and at times it doesn’t even interact with the interface so you are forced to reach over and use the mouse or keyboard. Overall, the game’s interface is seriously flawed and could use some further development to standardize the input usage.
But that doesn’t mean it’s still not interesting, because it is, but really needs a lot of work to get up to 
a fully developed level. For example, while the AI teams are doing their thing, quite slowly at times I must add, you can do nothing, as I said before. But I mean you can’t even speed past their moves in any way which I would think you should be able to if their actions don’t directly affect you. When there’s no contact between your team and the others you should be able to skip over everything to help speed up the game. Each round can take quite some time and most of that time you’ll just be watching the camera whiz all over the playing area while things go on.
The game only works in a windowed mode of what I Would guess to be 1024x768. I can only imagine it’s because the graphics would look terrible if you were to blow that up to a larger screen resolution like my 1680x1024 display.The graphics are fine really, they’re sort of retro and remind me of some old Dungeons & Dragons graphics from way back when. Since they’re ’retro-like’ that means they’re certainly not eye-popping, but again it’s fine.
