What's that? Increase my unplayed games queue? Right you are.

Older game, but really good Tower Defense one: Defense Grid. (its DLC and its sequel DG2). Highly recommended, and on sale.

Really cool bu I kinda hated that there was only one 'solution' for each level

If you are looking for a game like fire emblem and tactics ogre on pc, give Symphony of War a try, game is on sale and just released a DLC. Easily one of the best games I've played in recent memory

I have that on my wishlist, I should pick it up as a belated birthday gift to myself if it's on sale then. 😁

Quick! Now is the best time to spend your rent money on mountains of pdx dlc!

Too late, I already own all the Stellaris DLC, my bad choices have been made long ago

What will you be getting?

Thinking about Anno 1800 DLCs or older games from the franchise, didn't play before 1800.

Not sure yet! I've not bought a lot of games recently, but I do enjoy large swathes of the strategy genre. Stellaris, Civ 5 and 6, Terra Invicta, Frostpunk, etc.

Ah yes, the age-old strategy game of choosing which games to flesh out my backlog.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sure, my backlog of unplayed games wasn't big enough already. Why not throw a few more on the pile?

As I often do, I recommend giving Riftbreaker a try if you want a more action/combat oriented base builder. Good devs, regular updates and streams, mod support, fair pricing and there's an upcoming co-op mode (within a year hopefully?). I've played a long time and I always go back to it for a while when it gets some new updates.

Thanks, picked it up!
