Elda King 最近的评测

This is an awesome 4X game. It is relatively short for a 4X game, you can finish a game in a couple of hours, but it is still complex and satisfying and feels just so dense and sprawling. It is more 4X than RTS, with no frantic clicking or rushing. A great game for singleplayer, though I wish my friends were up to playing some epic matches of this.

It is such a deeply thematic theme, with so many elements of the lore and the feel of the political machinations and grandiose plans... but in an organic way through the gameplay - it is not about reading long texts or watching cutscenes, it is not about scripted missions that follow the story to the letter (at the cost of your agency). It is the interaction between the mechanics, the way the game plays out and what choices you are given and make, that bring out the theme and setting of Dune. The strategic campaign even more so.

And the art is great, the game design is elegant and coherent, the soundtrack is really good, and I haven't seen any bugs... it is such a polished game and very light, very optimized, will run on nearly any computer. Truly impressive.

Ingenious new puzzle game, with a really cool premise.

Ugly and nonsensical. No Gods, no Stylists.

Really good management sim, simple but fun, occasionally quite challenging, and nicely thematic. Not a game to spend dozens of hours on, but a great use of a few hours.

Absolutely amazing strategy economic game, in which you explore and colonize planets and create an intricate network of trade to meet the demands of each type of planet. So much variety, each game is different and there are so many viable options, and even different game modes. Games are short and intense, but not punitive or stressful - you can undo anything that didn't reveal new information, and the one mechanic that requires fast reaction (the pulsating radius of probes to reveal new planets) can be disabled. But the supply chains are intricate and you can never get everything you want, and the very limited amount of in-game time creates a good challenge (though there is an endless mode). The various techs change the game drastically, and the factions and their bonuses, quests, and rewards are equally cool.

I found out that this game started as a PICO8 game (a "fantasy console" that mimics the limitations of very old videogames), and the original version is available in itch.io as Slipways Classic - it is obviously much more limited, but very impressive and a truly fun little game. Check it out too.

Very solid game, a condensed 4X (i.e., similar to Civilization, Master of Orion, Stellaris, Endless Legend, etc). It is simply amazing how it manages to put so much strategy into a 30-minute short game, to capture all the main points of a genre that tends to have very long games. I also really love the art.

It is one of the best games for mobile phones, but I still would rather play on a computer when possible.

Really great game overall, already a lot of fun. Constant additions and balance changes, as it is still early access.

This game is just incredible. One of the most engrossing games I have played in a long time, innovative, elegant, fun. It is hard, but it is fun even when I lose. And it is very pretty too - give me those nice stylized 2D visuals over generic-looking 3D models any day!

This is a puzzle game reminiscent of match-3 or tetris, but it is a genuinely innovative game. It has a huge number and variety of puzzles, giving new spins to the mechanics or using them in different contexts.

A great game for a very low price, I see no reason to not get it.

One of my favorite classic RTS, and it holds up decently today. I might be an exception, but I think this game is much better than AoE2: the asymmetric mythologies, god powers, age progression choices and many other small things make it an improvement over the previous game, while not changing as much as AoE3 that just didn't work as well (though it was nice from what I remember).
