    The first game had one of the most gut-wrenching stories I’ve ever seen in a city builder. It was really tough both emotionally and mechanically, but so rewarding when I finally won it.

    I loved the first game! It was genuinely amazing. People don’t talk about it, but it was seriously inspiring. I loved the exploration mechanic, and the general randomness they injected in.

      I played one game, got my dick kicked in, and never picked up it again. I should probably try it again with a reduced difficulty. I have been playing Against the Storm, which scratches a similar itch tho

    I had never heard of this game series but it sounds like the source material some shitty mobile game ripped off.

        It sounds like a good game. I was reading the description and it made me think of this dumb mobile game I keep seeing ads for, that I’m sure is one of those that past the first hour or so you have to pay to make any progress, and I’m guessing the mobile game ripped off Frostpunk.

          Oh I have a great time with it and I don’t like most city builders. Against the storm and civ are boring to me. Ixion is the closest to a “knock off” that was good.

          Very possibly. I can totally see how someone sees one of those dumb city builder games but no this is a stressful fun game with different scenarios and high replayability. Totally worth 10$ on sale. Plus no pay to win, you can finish a scenario In a day.
