    @games Today I even have a theme: strategy games

    Crab God

    I wasn’t expecting much from this, and yet I came out positively impressed,
    it can be defined as a more refined Kingdom Two Crowns-type of tower defense. Instead of using coins, the player uses faith, crabs can specialize in 5 roles, it’s level based, instead of having a singular map, progressing once gathered enough food. I suspect that this game was made by a marine biologist, no other way to explain the detailed in-game encyclopedia.

      @games EcoGnomix

      Bizarre premise, and even more bizarre gameplay, it’s a turn based economy and savaging game, economy because half of the gameplay loop is about constructing your city to reach the bottom and the treasure, the other half where you have to scavenge level by level the resources need to survive, mainly wood to hire gnomes and food to keep the bats at bay.

      I came out of this demo with a perplexed face, I’ll have to double think whether if this premise is appealing to me or not

        I’m acquiring a certain taste for auto battlers, and this one has definitely a lot of charm, the graphical style reminds me a bit of Loop-hero, albeit in a more simplified matter, and the deck building is an interesting choice for progression.

        My only doubt is about variety of enemy encounters, for now there is only the human kingdom, so I hope for more factions and more races in the future, still, I’ll keep it in my radar.
