So disappointed by this game, it’s like the first 10 minutes of a tutorial mission level in a city builder, looped over and over.

Imagine games like Caesar or Anno but you’re just doing lame quests like “gather 20 resources and spend them at this empty spot, you win next mission”

None of the intricacies of a city builder, none of the losing is fun of a roguelite.

Pretty much how I felt too. I looooved Frostpunk and wanted more games like that. 100+ hours and loved every second, but eventually gotta move on. Tried Anno 1800 and liked it but not as much, got maybe 50 hours out of it. Tried Against the Storm and after 10 hours of not feeling anything I uninstalled. Really don’t get why Frostpunk and Against the Storm get lumped together, other than both having mechanics of building buildings and assigning workers. There’s sooooo much more to Frostpunk beyond that.

Have you tried Factorio? If you want something that you can invest some time in the then that might be what you want.

Ooooh yeah Factorio and I are well acquainted, think I’m probably close to 500 hours on that. Definitely closer to Frostpunk than AtS
