I have to admit, I just went through the PocketCiv tutorial, and I’m liking what I see so far. Unfortunately, only about half is included in the demo, along with a single scenario, but it makes a strong first impression.
Looking forward to playing the demo. Pocket Civ had a computer version years ago:
Another entry in simple yet fun for a few of bucks, Tinyfolks.
A minimalist Darkest Dungeon in pixel graphics. 20 Classes you can combine, artefacts, town building, loot, boss battles.
I was going to get the previous game (My Lovely Daughter) from the developer, but decided to wait for the sequel instead. It’s out as of today (not EA!). Any thoughts on either?
Bean Stalker has left early access. VR-only parapalegic action-roguelike with 4 player online co-op.

I thought the game was called “buy my lovely wife” and expected a VERY different game…

Nope, but the name has me thinking of Rodney Dangerfield’s shtick
And another $3 game I quite like. 20 Minutes Till Dawn.
It’s a Vampire Survivors with active shooting. It has a somewhat more elaborate skill system, with a bunch of synergies. Just starting out I found it a bit more challenging than Vampire Survivors, but with the benefit of better pacing and a more active role for the player.

I tried the Pocket Civ demo, and it has two huge problems that appear to make it not fun to play.
The first is that there’s a random event every turn that, in most cases, will kill most of your people and sometimes your cities. It’s basically impossible to make any progress unless you get lucky and get a couple turns in a row with no event.
The second is that there does not appear to be an in-game rulebook. I tried to buy an advance that I was pretty sure I could afford, but it wouldn’t let me buy it. No way to find out what I did wrong except to replay the tutorials, which are incredibly slow and annoying.
This one needs more time in the cooker, I think.
From what I can tell, it’s based on a solo PvE board game, so the random events is the pushback. I’m more concerned that this will be more of a puzzle game.
There is in-game help that the tutorial directs you to. Also remember that you don’t have access to the full tutorial. Hopefully things will be clearer at 1.0
You can play Pocket Civ Online ( Different game from the Steam version.):

Obviously a labor of love, it has its clunky spots but I have had fun with it
@forgeforsaken, if you’re going to post in threads, please also read the threads.

Forum used to do the thing that it warned you if a link was already posted.
Links to the steam shop get converted to the the clickable thingy and work differently. The forum search also doesn’t recognize the text in them.
Not available for Mac, so I curse the day you were spawned!
This also doesn’t support Mac Dave but RPS liked it:
Alternatively, you could read the threads you’re posting in.
You posted a link – without comment – to a game that someone linked three posts above you. Furthermore, that person actually had comments to make about the game. You don’t have to read them, of course, but it’s a pet peeve of mine when people make it obvious they’re ignoring the conversation, yet they insist on making themselves heard in that conversation. If you’re going to be that person, please find another forum.

May the womb that bore you shrivel and turn to ash!
Seriously? One link in one thread after tons of posts all over this forum with real discussion and you go to the “find another forum”?
Yes, seriously. I’ve sent you a PM if you’d like to discuss it further.
