Against the Storm - I find the loop of those first 30-40 minutes of city building very satisfying.
Ultimate General Series - I love the land battles, it scratches that gun powder Total War itch.
Mount & Blade Series - Playing the Viking Conquest expansion while watching or listening to the Last Kingdom (Saxon Stories) might be one of my favourite gaming memories.
Sea of Stars - Reminds me of Golden Sun. And the soundtrack is just fantastic.
I played Terra Nil, which was really enjoyable, but way too short! It only has four levels, and I would have played much more than that.
Also playing Against the Storm, which I stumbled across on Steam looking for something else to play after I finished Terra Nil so quickly. Really liking this one as well! The city building itself is fun, and the added aspect of the metagame/cycle outside of the city builder is a twist that I think works really well.
Hmmm… When I finished the four levels in Terra Nil it unlocked four more scenarios with different maps to play. You’re right though, more would have been fun to have.
I saw that something unlocked, but I thought it was the same maps with a chance to go back and get the species you missed or something like that. I’ll have to go look more closely!
It’s a really well done RPG in the spirit of the original Paper Mario games. Charming and fun to play. Got some depth to the build choices using a similar badge system as Paper Mario or even Hollow Knight.
I don’t know why Nintendo won’t just give us a proper Paper Mario again. What is their problem? It’s so annoying. Bug Fables was fantastic though definitely hard agree.
I ran across a metroidvania called Feudal Alloy set in a medieval world where you and all the enemies are low-tech robots with fish bowls as heads. There’s an interesting mechanic where swinging your sword generates heat and if you’re overheated you can’t attack temporarily. You can upgrade different parts of your body to fit the situation or your play style (more armor/damage/health, slower overheat, faster cooldown, etc), and the art is nice.
Felt like a lucky find for me because I just found out about it last week from an old vid on one of the yt gaming channels I follow (Let’s Game It Out if anyone likes watching a dude try to break games by essentially QA testing the hell out of them), and when I checked the steam sale this week it came up for under 2 bucks.
Controls felt a little janky to me, but I loved the game. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a shorter Metroidvania experience, especially if the art style is appealing to you.
Edit: my group has people who have never played controller so I need something easy to pick up. I have tried overcooked but I guess there are too many buttons
