March 2025
Feels like the best parts of worker placement board games and colony sims wrapped up in a roguelike experience. Losing the game feels fair and it looks like there's a lot of content and replayability. The villages feel alive, but the game being turn-based means the stress feels... relaxing? Definitely recommend this game for anyone who wants a turn-based, board game version of Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, or Banished.

March 2025
What starts off as a cute turn-based village simulator soon ramps into mounting chaos and impending doom. The villagers, affectionately known as 'pips', have the curiosity of a cat and the survival instincts of a lemming. As the village elder, your avatar ambles around the map, cursing and berating the idiots around you as you try to prevent annihilation from malicious divine forces. I really enjoy the subtle complexities of dotAGE. There are interlacing production chains for resources and truly staggering amount of game events - both positive and negative - which impact the world state and your pips. This can be as simple as Pips stealing extra firewood from your reserves to keep warm in winter, or as complex as a malicious divine event inflicting bleeding on 50% of your population and an earthquake just levelled the bandage station, so now half the village is going to die in 5 turns, unleashing a wave of sickness and fear. The malicious divines toying with you are the Domains of Fear, Sickness, Hot/Cold & Nature. Each run randomises their strength and event order, keeping things interesting. Your pips generate - when correctly directed by you - Hope, Health, Temperature and Harmony to counter the divine threats. The problem - and main gameplay mechanic of dotAGE - is you have limited pips to counter these threats whilst also trying to feed, research and build the village. There are also different Elder leaders which add a twist to the playthrough, for example the Shaman increases nature gains, but increases fear when animals die, whereas the Captain is landlocked on a tiny island and has a fish and grog based economy. Your starting map also changes each game, and there is a slow burning meta-progression unlock system which keeps on adding cool new features to both the maps and your available technologies. It took me about 110hrs to fully unlock the meta progression tree and I still have not seen every game event. Negatives of dotAGE: The game is very long, about 12-15 hours per run. The game is rather difficult, I lost my first two runs on normal before I got the hang of reading the prophecy correctly. Sometimes, the game can be very unfair. Finally, the soundtrack is only 6 tracks at 21 mins total, this can start to wear thin and I really hope they expand the OST in the upcoming DLC. Overall this is a wonderful strategy game, it's as if the creators of Rimworld and Stardew Valley decided to make a turn-based title together.

This game is a 10/10 for me. If you want to play a cute pixel-art city builder and vibe with great music, this game is for you. If you're a resource management worker placement board game nerd, this is the game for you. If you want to ramp the difficulty have an insanely challenging survival game that makes you plan every turn meticulously, this is the game for you. This game is for you.

One of my new favourite games ever - combines the one more turn feeling of Civ, the colony management of Rimworld, and roguelike randomness and goals of Against the Storm. Brilliant game that I can lose many hours in without noticing the time. Created by a solo dev who is highly engaged with the players on discord.

Game is great but freezes constantly on the "work" screen. Looked up the issue and its been happening for 10+months. No fixes yet seems wild and cant find a workaround. Happens constantly even after reloading and losing the day. Really irritating as the game is fun. Hope they figure this out eventually but seeing as its been happening since launch I wont get my hopes up. Edit: My issue was not fixed yet as I just posted this, but the fact that the Dev reached out almost immediately asking for details and wanting to help to fix the issue was awesome. The game really is great and with someone who cares that much im sure it will be successful and im sure my bug will be fixed. Thanks Catman!
