Es un juego de estrategia muy simple, pero que no tiene ningún fallo y está balanceado. Para matar ratos está bien, y por el precio no se puede pedir más.

Really a hidden gem. It shows its age with a UI like an old flash game, but it's actually challenging and engaging especially on higher difficulties. Very replayable with lots of achievements. Even works great on steam deck if you don't mind using trackpads.

This is a well-built, polished experience, though I think the store descriptions are a bit misleading. The implication that I got, at least, was that this was a massively simplified grand strategy game. While everything said is technically correct, this game is more like a fast-paced auto-battler with elements of city management that feel most akin to an old Flash game. Which is not to say that this game is low-quality, or not worth your money: It absolutely is. I just think it's good to have a better understanding of what you're actually buying. You decide whether to build structures to get better economy or more troops, and then intermittently get attacked by arbitrary enemies and pit your existing troops against them. Then you try to rebuild your army while trying to stack your economy as hard as possible without becoming so greedy you die. There's also a secondary progression economy, faith, that allows you to pick from specific pools of buffs in what are effectively very tiny trees of five total options. These buffs are all very meaningful and can have very dramatic effects on your army, your economy, or both. The game is satisfying to play and offers meaningful choices, but it isn't like there's a map, or other factions, or a large pool of resources. What you get is what I described; an extremely polished game with a good number of options to grow power and economy that compete well against each other.

Honestly, a solid little game. Has a very fun and simplified Civilization 2 feel without the long, drawn out game like Civ. Replayability is okay, but it's pretty predictable with story/event progression after a few playthroughs. Definitely worth it to buy with or without a sale. 8/10

Perfect 'coffee break game' from someone who dislikes nearly all quick games - I am more of a Civilization, Total War and Baldur's Gate man This is fun simple and challenging short strategy/puzzle game despite having no maps or battle placement strategy It is well worth coming back to after a break and seeing how far you can get on a hard level The Very easy and very hard both work as planned which is always a bonus This is game that suits all age groups. At least in this house :)
