Phos
You play as a robot colonizer that has been sent out to an alien planet with one goal. Harvest its resources and send them back home. To accomplish this you must build a base on the planet. As your base develops you will be able to build more advanced structures to harvest at an increased scale. And eventually you will be able to accomplish your goal to start sending resources back to your mother planet. But the native inhabitants of the planet won’t sit idly by as you strip their world of its resources.

Grand Casino Tycoon
My intension to get the game was to try a new management simulation game and the idea of planning/constructing a casino with all the entertaining requirements for the guests was the selling point for me. My first interactions with the game weren´t as good as I hoped, because I had some issues starting it on my end and it took me some time to get used to the user interface. After those initials obstacles I was surprised by the gameplay, and it made a lot of fun to build the casino and keep all the guests happy. As the game progresses it gets way harder and with more guest types it also becomes a challenge to keep most of them entertained.

What bothers me the most about this game is if you take your time to get it right. You will never be able to accomplish your goals. You will always be in debt. There are also items that do not seem to attract any players. You lose money, because the object in question is useless, but you absolutely need it to advance in your goals. I believe this game has potential, but it doesn’t feel complete.

CompactO - Idle Game
I could have gotten this for free but decided to buy it instead. There was more content in the alpha version but it was removed due to it being pretty broken. There is more content currently in development that will extend the life of the game and help to better balance the later game. The dev has made some other games that I enjoy playing and look forward to where this one goes.
Edit: A lot more content has been added.

This game is short and sweet for an idle game. Definitely not worth $2.99. On top of that, once you beat the game it allows you to keep playing in order to earn more money, but I have now gotten to the point where I can’t even open the game because my numbers are too big for the game to handle. The prestige system in this game is fairly boring and the second layer of prestiging is lame because you quickly get to the point where it is working as fast as possible and all you can do is wait. It was overall a fun game but not worth any money.

Orbi Universo
It’s Democracy meets Civilization.
Still a work-in-progress, and from a part-time indie dev, but what you see here shows promise.
If you’re a Civ/Paradox/Democracy fan, it’s an easy recommendation.
If you’re not too sure about it, grab it on sale, or wait until they finish all the ages that make the core gameplay.
Pros:
-
Less intimidating upfront than Democracy, you start from humble begginings.
-
You can start at any place in the globe
-
Many different paths to take your civilization through

This game is unique. Maybe not much replayability, but there definitely is some. In the bronze age I had a shining civilization, the entire Iron Age was a time of unparalleled ascension, but I quickly over expanded and then the disruption caused by the immense amount of minorities quickly destroyed my stability. I kept undermining the power of the clergy in order to stop them from toppling my republic, which caused the number of heathens and heretics to rise to such a point as to ruin my stability even further. There was this entire collapse scenario very reminiscent of the fall of the Roman Republic, culminating in a coup d’etat by the military which led to a quickly fragmenting military dictatorship that saw a snowball of decline that just kept rolling and rolling.

CryptoClickers: Crypto Idle Game
Very good idle game. Has little, in any kind of game-functional sense, to do with crypto currencies aside from using currency names.
Has multiple layers of depth, a number of interlinked levels that need to be opened up, all with good help/explanation and some even come with tips. Every layer of the game can be automated except for the “daily events”, but that’s ok because they are short duration (5 to 10 minutes), they aren’t mandatory but they do give an extra bonus that adds up over time, and the events change each day. The different sections of the game can automatically grind away and progress while you are in another area of the game working on that.

I have been playing the game everyday since I got it and I’m extremely rejoiced as the game has released on steam. It’s a free, fun to play game with a lovely community that will eat up your spare time with its seemingly endless progression and cool features. The game includes a simple yet elegant art style which is soft on the eye with smooth corners and amazing contrast as well as easy to understand mechanics that anyone can understand. The game includes a easy to follow tutorial which teaches you the basics of the game and is constantly being updated to fix any bugs and to change or create new and ever growing content. Furthermore, the creator (CryptoGrounds) is easy to contact if you need any help and is friendly when solving any problems with the game that you might have.

Pandemic: The Virus Outbreak
The Idea used for making this game is good but it needed more substance, the game is already over when started and there are no notes of what each of the percentages do in each tab, at least you have written the rate of increase in the right hand format and total increase in left hand format for more clarification. Anyway this game doesn’t have much of an understanding to the impact of virus in world since after 10% infection rate you will become a criminal of Humanity. This game has potential so develop it more. That’s all i have to say.

i think the developer of this game is biased when it comes to the current real life situation when it comes to closing down the government because it is impossible to win if you decide to no shut down anything no matter how much propaganda you use how can you go form a hospital capacity of only 19% full too 124% full if you accept the donation to ease the work load of your hospitals and everything is 10 dollars form vaccine development too growing your hospital capacity and propaganda which would be fine if you didn’t start the game with only 40 dollars and make getting money very slow no matter how much your economy grows if you choose not to shut down and with an unemployment rate of 0% and if you choose not to close the economy in the pop up and ignore the WHO you lose almost immediately and this is when the infection rate is less then 1% in your country this is like playing a political simulator game where you can chose which party to play as but if you didn’t chose the party of the developer no matter what you do as the opposing government party you cant win unless the unbalancing changes when you chose not to shut down everything my review wont change
