Oakenfold is a clever game that makes great use of the TimeScrubber and the ability to play around with time and try out ideas. The story is not original, and the core concepts are not entirely new. But the gameplay is solid and the tactical puzzles are engaging. There’s a part of a gamer’s brain that will seek to optimize and the developers know how to activate it. The issue with a competent implementation of familiar ideas is that there’s little push for innovation. I like the three aspects of Aisha and the Timebank but the rest is derivative. Oakenfold will scratch the Into the Breach itch for fans but it needs to do more to attract new fans to its genre.
Has it been a while since the last roguelike game came out and you're already feeling the need to fight off the withdrawal symptoms with another hit? Oakenfold can be a solid challenge even on the easiest difficulty. Too bad they didn't get around to better rendering the game world, which would have definitely been worth it. [Issue#324]

Summary Oakenfold is a clever time-reversible strategy game. Outsmart the Biocides wrecking our planet in this roguelike adventure. Manipulate them, shove them, drown them, crush them, have them attack each other... No matter how you do it, keep your precious cargo safe at all times! It's your last chance to escape our inhospitable planet.
