It's not true multiplayer in that there's no player interaction. Think of it more as a competitive leader board. You don't risk anything by participating except some food that might otherwise have gone into quests or training, just using character stats from the main game in a sort of friendly contest to see who's done a better job at building adventuring parties. You win or lose ranking points based on your success and these points determine your place in the league with prizes for the top spots. Combat in the Storm8 games used to drive me nuts with how expensive it used to get building/maintaining all those defensive units and structures, and you could definitely lose your shirt if attacked at the wrong time there, but sometimes I wish there were more player agency in how these things came out. It's a funny sentiment coming from someone who's wanting to get more into tabletop RPGs, but there it is... lol I'm also itching to see what this team would do with a sci-fi setting. The flavor text for the shops/missions/etc can be a real riot.
