Empires in Ruins
Edit: The developer is super chill, and is looking to patch out the bugs soon. This is still a hard game with hit-or-miss writing and an imperfect UI, but serious props to anyone who can indie dev something this complex. Check it out if there isn’t something in the review that’s a dealbreaker for you.
This is a very “yes, but…” recommendation.
Empires In Ruins is a thing I should like. It’s a tower defense with a 4x strategy layer, and where you can econ yourself into an easier TD situation, or TD yourself out of a bad economy.

Empires in Ruins Test / Review
Empires in Ruins Review – Conclusion and opinion**
For an indie game of a small team just entering early access, the game is already surprisingly polished. The campaign includes a very entertaining story and for strategy fans an appealing game depth.

Mini Countries
Surprising I stumbled upon this page by going down a rabbit hole looking for a puzzle game that could entertain me without requiring me to spend most of my time trying to figure out the puzzle/strategy in order for me to complete it. I bought this game purely based on first looks and watching the developer play a bit of it on his live stream before I decided to just jump in and try in on my own.
Honestly, I was surprised by the way it looked first right off the bat and how the music and design were clean and refreshing from the start. Reminded me of the puzzle game The Witness on the first loading screen of just the background and music drawing you in before thrusting you in a game where you use your wits to figure out what to do. Though, this game did start with instructions which made it easier to understand on certain parts. Even with the Instructions I got, it was neat to learn things that the instructions didn’t go over completely (like the fact that you can connect storage units to each other). However, I thought from the first levels it would be a repetitive process until I hit later levels where cities would pop up more and more mechanics were added. Nearly lost my mind trying to find a new strategy for different levels.

Great game, chill and challenging at the same time.
Would definetely recommend the game, although some gamecrashing bugs occured during my playthrough. When attempting to beat the finland level at around 3000 population all the indicator bars above the cities turn grey and i am no longer able to identify the missing item, which then makes me lose the game 2 months later. Very frustrating when you managed to build a system that works and then just having it wasted like this.
Hope the devs will pick up on bugs like these, keep up the good work, will replay at a later time!

Raiders! Forsaken Earth
IN A WORD: MAYBE
IN A NUTSHELL:
WHAT TO EXPECT: Be the villain. Sandbox generated world. Mixes strategy with management. Turn-based, side-on combat with many tactical options. Post-apocalyptic setting. Lots of raider and some base customisation. Large array of inventory. Item crafting. Artillery, siege engine and landsail craft. Slaves and cannibal options. Seed generated world maps. Alot of micro-management. Optional endgame scenarios or endless mode. Singleplayer only. Currently supported by dev.

Can I recommend this game? Boy, that’s a doozey. If the game was $60, hell no. At its current price? Totally.
Basics of the game is, you start off with pretty much nothing. You got some raiders with you and they are bottom of the barrel. Its ok though because the way you level up is by fighting. There are, I believe, respawning caravans with really low level mobs that at first is a little bit of a challenge but after some levels and better armor, maybe weapons too, you can pretty much take on the whole wasteland. Your raiders quickly receive a message saying that Wasteland’s Rangers are coming in 120 days. I’m not kidding, they are pretty much the Wasteland game franchises Rangers. For some reason, after playing w2 and just devastating all the raiders, my head-canon really enjoyed being that ONE GROUP that won lol.

Deus Lo Veult
I find this game very strange, because it seems partially incomplete in terms of actual gameplay - I managed to get 10 minutes in before my attempted invasion of Tripoli resulted in the game just… stopping, and preventing me from continuing. In terms of art, it is very visually pleasing to look at, which is what leads me to confusion - on that side, it seems quite polished. I hope the devs update this to fix this soon.

AS the others said, it’s a scam. unable to change language to french even if it is shown, the game is ridiculously simplistic (we’re talking 2010 mobile games here) and breaks after the first couple of rounds.

Sorcerer King: Rivals
After finishing game on insane difficulty I finally feel ready to write a review. In short, I think Sorcerer King Rivals is an amazing game. One of the best games I have ever played in fact. Having said that, I doubt it will appeal to people looking for a deep strategy game. Because this game is not that deep and not particularly hard, except, maybe for a highest difficulty. Also, I think it is important to mention, that I barely played FE:LH and did not like it at all so if you are looking for a similar experience, you may not like SC:Rivals. SC:Rivals is more like Eador: Masters of a broken world. So, as always, keep your expectations in check) Now, let’s talk about what is good, not so good, and pretty bad in this game
– Real player with 87.0 hrs in game
A great game. It’s fairly small in scope for a 4x, but I think this has allowed the developers to focus on producing a polished product. Sorcerer King: Rivals has lots of scripted story and events, which makes it different to other 4x games which rely soley on the quality of the AI players to pose a challenge. As Sorcerer King relies on heavily scripted events, don’t expect great AI. On the plus side, Sorceror King tells a great story with writing that is often hilarious.
You will see reviews complaining about lack of replayability, but I think if you want 300hours out of the game you need to look at the Civilization series or Galactic Civilizations 3. I’ve played Sorceror King for a total 65 hours. I will agree however, that the strategic map AI is extremely passive. It generally does not initiate combat and will wait for you to attack it. This means its not really much of a threat and this does effect replayability.

King and Kingdoms
Whatever you do DO NOT buy this game, yes its in development but that is not an excuse for the developers to totally ignore players when they submit tickets reporting faults
The game has a research section, the developers decided to alter it and in doing so the section no longer works, it refuses to carry out any research stating that you have insufficient resources to carry out the research … strange when my resources are over twenty times that needed
The game does not allow you to carry out what is basically the whole idea of it, to take over other kingdoms, it is hard enough to work out how at the beginning with no game instructions but eventually when you do work it out don’t expect it to work

Road Builder
I felt like the concept of a road building game where you’re limited to a square grid was a good idea. So to get to the puzzle stage, you’ll have to start building the roads up to the intersections-points, which becomes tedious because you have to click so many times to swap between different straights and curves. Once you figure out where roads have to cross, you have to guess your way around the extremely limited intersections. Intersections has “ghost”-tiles that are very hard to figure out how they work. It’s a guess-work which is made difficult because of the limited feedback on pathfinding. Essentially you have to connect all points, then hit play, see a binary “it works” or “it doesn’t work”. With the update you can at least see for each endpoints, but just hovering on an entry/exit should really show the path the cars will take to the opposite.

It’s really lovely game with a good concept and cute graphics.
I thinks it’s definitely worth the price (includes a lot of level, an editor, and Workshop support).
However, some of the puzzles are hard and the games is sometimes a little click- and mouse heavy.

Energy Island Corp.
In Electric City Manager, you’ll manage an electric grid on small islands. When you arrive on an island, there is only few inhabitants and no electric facilities.
It’s your job to build a robust electric grid which can support the development of the island in every domain: tourism, industry, residential, health, …
Every day starts with a preparation phase. You can construct new buildings, buy raw materials and manage different aspect of your grid.
When you’re ready, the clock starts and you can see in real time, minute by minute the electricity quantity you produced and the electricity being consumed by the city.
It’s important to produce enough electricity to match the demand and avoid power outage. On the other side, producing too much electricity will damage all your electric grid and waste a lot of money.
-
Make your own energy mix: Solar panels only produce when sun is up, oil generators are expensive to run, … Each primary energy has its own characteristics, you must mix them to find the better balance.
-
Manage raw materials supply: Some buildings need resources (oil, coal, …) to run. You must buy them at best price, and build infrastructure to store them.
-
Watch electricity production / consumption: Managing an electric grid is hard. Electricity is hard to store, consumption vary between consumption peaks and low demands periods. Adapt yourself and manage your grid with information you get from the production / consumption chart.
