Players can either fight for more resources through war or complex trade agreements.

Thea 2: The Shattering
I played the first Thea and loved it so of course I had to grab this Thea. I also am loving it but being that it is in Early Access still it is not without its flaws and bugs and crashes. I will mostly talk about the issues I see currently because I think that is what people really want to see when they read a review BUT please understand there is a lot to also love about Thea 2 and it has a lot of heart. So while I talk about some of my issues, understand overall I love this game and how it is progressing.

Thea 2 is mixture of 4X, RPG, card game and rogue-like - it’s one of its kind no game is quite like it. If you like some or even all of those you should definitely check it out.
Thea 2 has amazing replayability - if I could only play one game for the rest of my life this would be it. It greatly improves and expands on the concepts of Thea 1.
For me it’s one of the best games I ever played - hence a happy 9/10
Quick gameplay summary
In Thea you start us with a small group of characters (determined by your choice of gods and which traits you choose) - you need to survive, battle monsters, face random events, gather resources to craft new things, research new materials and recipes or just not starve. You want to find out why the world has been shattered and restore the power of your god. To do this you roam the lands, eventually found a village and recruit more characters/make babies.

CULTURE TREE
The culture tree is where you discover religion, policies, and human interactions inside and outside of your tribe, the main purpose of the culture segment is to allow the player to shape the cultural development of the people. We worked on it to make it as real as real tribe’s decisions.You decide the roots of the culture of your community and what they are like when they advanced to settled life.

The research tree aims to help the player overcome the obstacles of the game by inventing new tools materials and crafting options.

These clans may gather food, hunt animals, make camp, or later in the game improve campsite with basic structures like tents and fences against wild animals. Our maps consist of hexagon tiles which is very useful for planning tactics for your clans.
Thea: The Awakening
About time I wrote a review for Thea. I have played the game for 900 hours now and I still don’t see myself getting bored with it anytime soon. More on the replayability later but first a quick overview.
Thea: The Awakening is a turn-based survival strategy game on a procedurally generated hexagonal world. It plays a lot like the early exploration phase in Civilization. The main difference is that the game is about survival instead of expansion. You won’t build an empire with a large army, instead you have to defend your only village from evergrowing threats while also finding the time to go out and gather materials and do quests so you can become stronger. If you don’t keep up with the enemies in terms of power they will overwhelm you but don’t worry, there are many difficulty modifications. You can play on 50% (very easy), 350% (very hard), and anything in between. The game has a lot of RPG elements, an excellent crafting system, and a card game to resolve various types of conflicts. The game combines regular fantasy creatures such as orcs and elves with slavic mythology. If you don’t know anything about that you’ll meet a lot of new creatures here such as Stryga’s and Baba Yaga’s.

A Review of: “THEA: The Awakening”
A Single-player, 4X Dark Fantasy, Hex-Grid, Turn-Based Strategy-RPG, Card Battler, Resource Management Survival Game where Choices Matter with Crafting and Replay Value.
I’m usually either a fan of Grand Strategy games or RPGs, turn-based War-games and War-sims. I had this game in my library a couple years before getting around to trying it out. Now that I’m playing it; it’s great or certainly could have been with a few GUI and QOL improvements.
It’s very RPG-like, with lore and Slavic-based mythos. I love deep lore games that tell a storey (BG / Planescape). I also like games that base their lore on “real world” mythos (Inquisitor) and this game makes tons of references to eastern European folklore.

Galactic Crew II
A diamond in the rough to be sure!
I am giving this a thumbs up because even though it plays more like a beta, . (Oh wait, it is still in early access - MISSED THAT sorry!), I think it has the potential to be a really good game.
On the downside, there are stability issues (crashed 4 times in ~20 hours of game play), feedback mechanisms, and information on how to do even basic tasks or what abilities do are seriously lacking. Goals are vague. The NPC AIs are minimal at best. Some tasks such as mining are tortuously dull and should be more engaging. (staring at your screen for 10 minutes listening to PHooomWha…. PHooomWha…. is not fun for most people). The game lacks consistency across the board - NPC experience gains, UI functionality and design, balance, etc.

Z Dawn
I’ve been playing this game a lot, being getting updated regularly, for me its a good game, good zombie survival 4x strategy games.
You gotta focus a lot on managing your survivors otherwise it will be a very pain experience.
Basically your start with a small group of survivors, 6 then you gotta find a nice place to set up an encampment, collect resources, wood a lots of wood to build camp defenses, then scavanging for resources like crazy, kill a lots lots of zombie, watch your survivors you love to much gettting bitten and some of then will die, others will get amputated. That’s ok, there’s prosthetics to solve that too. Its a bit painfull to have a leg amputee, will slow down the entire group, other than that you can assign that dude for a suicidal exploring mission.

Just started. In the first few minutes I found a factory. Each time I hit next turn my group of 6 discovers/searches the building by a percentage of total coverage that equals .01.
This means I have to hit the search/next turn button a thousand times.
On the bright side.. all my group have some starter weapons and speed of 1 or 2.
Then inside the factory I found a guy who was just bitten. The message said I could amputate him (didnt say whether it was his head or some other body part, so I assumed it wasnt going to be his head.)

Robin Hood - Sherwood Builders
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1273100/Builders_of_Greece/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1442450/Monsters_Domain/
Robin Hood - Sherwood Builders is an action adventure RPG with city-building elements, where we will take the role of a classic hero, who fights against the tyranny and injustice that haunts Sherwood. As Robin, we’ll fight, hunt, craft, steal, and of course - help the local community grow in spite of the Sheriff of Nottingham’s regime – all within an open world environment that can be freely explored.
Robin Hood is a famous hero of medieval English folk tales, believed to have traversed the forests of Sherwood with his companions a long time ago. In the game we’re going to meet those legendary characters as well – such as Lady Marian, Little John, Friar Tuck, Allen a Dale, and Will Scarlet.
The main task is to help a young, growing community of refugees and rebels improve and expand itself. Starting with what could be described as a small forest settlement, with a bit of care, luck and work, it can end up as a town full of people. Recruit local villagers, rebels on the run from the law, and even the citizens and guards of Nottingham themselves.
We will start our adventure with building a forest camp, which we will be able to develop with the arrival of new residents. We will be responsible for choosing the right place in Sherwood Forest to build the village.
Another important part of taking care of the settlement will be to manage the community members’ professions and tasks and training them to become craftsmen, hunters, or guards, and to manage the settlement’s resources, either gathering them yourself or stealing them from convoys and aristocratic estates.
The main goal is to build a community large and meaningful enough to trigger a revolution in the ranks of Nottingham, ending the tyranny once and for all.
Can Robin Hood and his company make it and put an end to injustice? Their fate is up to you!
