About They Won't Get Our Eggs!
They Won't Get Our Eggs! is a dragon-centric roguelike RPG from SpacePine Development, released on PC in September 2025. As a fierce guardian, you defend a nest of eggs from endless enemy waves using ranged attacks and tactical positioning. The game blends procedural level generation with permadeath, forcing you to adapt strategies each run. Its whimsical fantasy tone contrasts with tense combat, where every decision impacts survival. Ideal for short bursts, it promises replayability through randomized threats and gradual upgrades.
Gameplay
You control a dragon perched atop a nest, using a mix of automatic and manual aiming to blast invaders. Each wave introduces tougher foes, goblins, knights, and magic-wielding mages, that approach from multiple angles. Resource management is key: limited ammo and health force tough choices. Between runs, you unlock permanent upgrades like fire resistance or crit chance boosts. Sessions typically last 15, 30 minutes, with runs resetting after failure. The minimalist top-down camera focuses on tactical spacing, while quick reflexes determine survival.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, praising its addictive difficulty curve. 68% finish the main campaign, averaging 3.7 hours total playtime. Community moods split between “frustratingly fun” (32%) and “addictive” (41%). Critics on Metacritic average 76/100, calling it “a charming but shallow roguelike.” Players note 50 achievements (72% completion), with “Eggcellent Shot” (scoring 100% accuracy) being the most skipped. Some gripe about repetitive enemy patterns, while others laud the satisfying upgrade tree.
PlayPile's Take
A solid pick for fans of quickfire roguelikes, especially those who enjoy asymmetric warfare. At $19.99, it’s affordable but offers little beyond its core loop, no co-op, no story depth. The 10+ hour price-to-content ratio is low, but the challenge and charm may hook casual players. Skip if you prefer narrative-driven RPGs or want deep mechanics. Stick with it if you thrive on incremental progress and don’t mind repetition.
