Oakenfold | Time Bending Turn Based Strategy

Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series.
My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review.

In this episode I check the brutally hard Turn Based Strategy Game with Time Travel Mechanics called Oakenfold. Oakenfold takes place
on a Post Apocalyptic Earth, which has been claimed by a race of monsters called the Biocides. Its up to the player to ensure mankinds
survival by gathering the resources to allow mankind to escape their dying world.
In order to give the player a fighting chance against overwhelming odds, they have access a Time Displacement Device called the Timescrubber, allowing them to freely travel back in time.
Oakenfold is one of the most challenging Strategy Games ive played, requiring constant planning, careful use the crafting system and
exploitation of the environment to survive.

Please note: All opinions in this video are my own. Game was provided by the developer for review purposes

Clever turn-based roguelike
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.

Oakenfold takes a twist on the classic turn-based strategy flow, similar to games such as "Into the Breach", the enemy attacks are pre-indicated and you have a set amount of actions to solve the puzzle. In Oakenfold, you don't have to think out the complete solution in advance. You can start trying your solution, and if it doesn't work you can simply reverse time with your magical TimeScrubber™.

The story
Asha is one of the last humans left on Earth. A young woman on the brink of its extinction, she is the final hope for humanity in a world that treats her like a virus. Asha grows up living in defense. With her father by her side, they survive the apocalypse by trekking through the wastelands of the Himalayan region.

Her father teaches her everything he knows about how to survive in this new world. Hunting, scavenging, and fighting her way through each day, all with a kind heart and steely determination. Ever the mentor, her father injects a final hope for humanity in his daughter: his life’s work, the last human settlement, the biodome called Oakenfold. It will launch into the stars with the last remnants of humanity aboard, ready to start anew.

Asha, now a young woman, is alone. While they embarked on one of their many journeys to the power plant, her father, and the rest of their collection team, perished in a biocide attack, where he protected Asha from getting stabbed by shielding her with his own body. Though the death of her father is painful, Asha must continue the mission the two of them had set out to complete: to retrieve the last of the fuel-packed crates to power up Oakenfold’s systems.
Asha's mindsets
You'll be able to play the game with varying mindsets of Asha, each giving her unique starting abilities.
