Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder

兄弟们 我做了个汉化补丁，发到steam指南中了，有需要的可以自取

It's good but not great. I am playing it but I would not recommend it unless you know what you're getting into. It's not a citybuilder. It's a citybuilder-themed Balatro-style tile puzzle. The things you create will not look like cities whatsoever, and almost no parts of it will have any kind of visual coherence. There are no paths or roads. This ends up making the gameboard look uglier and uglier as you progress, even though there's nothing wrong with the art. it's just visually disjointed. The main appeal to me of a citybuilder is that each of your small choices add up to create an interconnected system that's greater than the sum of its parts, and the harmony of its rules expresses itself visually. Here, it just looks like a stamp collection. Any semblance of coherence is an illusion - traintracks lead from nowhere to nowhere, and fortified walls don't defend anything from anyone. It looks like they placed walls in the demo images in a way that has no effect in game, solely for visual appeal. There's also no economy. You can keep placing apiaries and make infinite honey, and it will never give you diminishing returns. You can get relics (or whatever they're called) to allow you to place more and more of the same type of building next to each other. The maps are pretty boring. Geography matters, but not in ways that are very interesting. They seem to have more or less of a given resource, but... something's missing. Progression is a strong point. It seems well-paced, and it's presented in a fascinating way. Is it fun? Yeah, for most of a run. I tried starting a second run once and realized I was already bored. It's not a boring game, it's just not that interesting in the way that it seems at first glance.
