DNA Farm

DNA Farm

Very interesting game, the description says it all, clearly…but it runs well and feels fun! I keep saying it in these reviews, but I mean it…the price is a little too steep..this could be fun for a lot of people but…if they won’t spend 11 bucks, maybe the won’t see how good it is, anyways..just my thoughts. Not a bad game at all!

Haprokon

Haprokon - the little more complex economy simulation

Manage an imaginary city. You will not be able to see the city itself, but a lot of numbers that represent it.

Stay on top of things.

Handel (= Trade): Buy desperately needed goods or sell the ones that would otherwise make Your storage burst.

Produktion (= Production): Produce all 227 goods on plantations, farms, in mines and factories.

Konsum (= Consumption): Build houses for Your population and watch, as Your people consume Your goods and becomes happier - And happy people pay more money!

–-

Once Your people are happy, You can upgrade them to the next of the 25 different population levels.

And with a growing population You will unlock more and more buildings and with them Your people will demand more consumption goods.

During the game an increasing number of resources will be unlocked - and their deposits will have to be found on expeditions.

The more You progress in the game, the more challenge ranks will be unlocked that earn You technology points.

These technology points can be invested to make progression easier. For example larger storages!

There are 199 achievements in the game and 100 achievements in Steam. Can You unlock them all?

Each new game can be adjusted to change the experience with every city You play.


Warning, fat spoiler ahead!

Can You build a huge metropolis without going bankrupt?


Everything is drawn by hand. With love. Or something like that

“But dude, why is this sooo ugly?”

I would call it art… but well.


Please note:

There is no pretty 3d graphics here. But a lot to manage! You like the challenge? Then welcome to Haprokon ;)

Thank You for supporting indi-developers :)

Not a bad game for 2-3 evenings, but pretty bugged in some missions (some cards don’t work correctly).

I’m board game enthusiast. The game really has a “board game feel” to it. Never played the physical version, But it looks similar from videos I watched. In fact never heard of the game before it popped up in my suggestions. Love the deck building and resource management aspect. Not much reviews so far for the game.

Only still in the “tutorial” section (8 first missions). Like it very much so far…

Bear and Breakfast

Bear and Breakfast is a laid-back management adventure game where you play as a well-meaning bear trying to run a B+B in the woods. Hank and his friends find an abandoned shack and, equipped with their teenage ingenuity, turn it into a money-making bed and breakfast scheme for unsuspecting tourists. As your business expands so do the mysteries of the forest, and Hank soon finds himself uncovering a plot deeper than the wilderness itself.

1980

1980

Quite fun, quite well executed, it’s a small game but what it does, it generally does well.

The one criticism I have to make concerns “gentrification”. I know what gentrification is, I’ve spent the last twenty years living in Liverpool, Leeds and Newcastle, all cities where gentrification has happened. The issue of poor people being priced out of their city is one that I’m aware of. It’s a complex issue - it’s bad for the working class population, but quite nice for the upper-middle-class upwards, because the whole city is reshaped for them; very often the city as a whole thrives. Forty years ago, Catherine street in Toxteth in Liverpool was the scene of rioting; today you pretty much have to be a millionaire to own a house there. The people who used to live there have been pushed out. As to whether you think that’s fair, that probably depends how wealthy you are, and whether you’re on the left or the right politically. It’s currently a live issue in Manchester; regeneration of the northern English former industrial cities was done by giving developers free rein to gentrify at will. The cities were risen from their ashes, essentially at a cost to their working-class populations.

This game is not bad, but it’s very unsatisfying.

I understand that you can’t really “win”, that’s the premise of the game.

I started several times and tried almost every possible approach to get all the first missions done, but it seems like that is not possible?! Or there is maybe like one combination/timing, which will make is possible and I wasn’t able to find out how.

If somebody knows, make a comment!

Now it just felt unsatisfying, that I was neither able to finish the missions nor the game in a good way and it was a more frustrating than enjoyable experience. If this is intended due to the urbanization story, okay, but I didn’t liked it.

Great game! I also thought the same as most of you, oh this game looks pretty bad. I gave it a try though and I have to say I am saddened that not a lot of people play this. It would be great if more people would join in and we could get multiplayer matches going. Definitely lots of fun and has a nice different feel from a 1v1 tug-of-war game.

Ironseed 25th Anniversary Edition

Ironseed 25th Anniversary Edition

Ah Ironseed. A hidden gem of the 90’s. I played this one 25 years ago. A 1MB file hidden among 600 others on a CD. This remake is quite faithful the the original, though the difficulty has now been notably reduced. I haven’t played enough to know if all of the old systems are here, but what I see so far has been quite impressive.

If you are tired of all the “newer” games that put graphics over gameplay, give this one a go.
