GHOSTLESS mixes 2.5D action with colony building

5D action adventure plus colony building. That is not a pairing you see every day, which gives the game a useful hook before anyone even sees how deep the systems go.
Coffeenauts is pitching a world built around uprising, trust and survival, which suggests the colony layer may not simply be decorative. The best version of this idea would make action and management feed each other: explore to gather resources, build to support resistance, fight to protect the people relying on you.
The risk is that hybrids can become shallow on both sides if the design spreads itself too thin. But if GHOSTLESS can make its rebellion feel personal and mechanical at once, it could be one to watch.
