Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder

Great game! Reminds me a bit of a Luck Be a Landlord + Balatro. Really interesting mechanics with tons of unlocks. Love the combinatorics of different faction combos.

some would say its the perfect combo of genres

Buildings go down, numbers go up. Seems to have a good progression system

10/10 game. As someone who's played a lot of roguelikes it feels a lot faster paced. You have a lot more control over RNG AND can get a run done within 30m. Despite me saying it is faster paced it's more "your own pace" than any other roguelike out there. You don't need to take a long time, or do. They leave it completely up to you. The synergies feel satisfying and the need to plan ahead for the future feels like it's in the right place of punishing but not too much. More of a "I wish i thought of this awhile ago" rather than "oh great i put this here now I'm screwed." Overall what makes me say 10/10 compared to 9/10 or anything like that is not only that the game is good but mostly the fact they added features that seem INCREDIBLY well thought out from a player perspective NOT a dev perspective. Constantly being able to look at the map, The clarity on adjacency bonuses and placement ranges, The overlays to see where you're scoring the most and how. Even lives in the game are setup in a way to use them "whenever" or even completely ignore you have them. Really quite happy with the game and couldn't recommend it more. I don't write reviews. But i felt i could for this one. Wasn't sure where to put this when i was typing but this also feels like a player consideration to me is being able to choose to end the week early for $$$ or not for placing extra buildings or even managing cooldowns if you wanted. You don't have to worry about "oh i didn't have the time because i was doing too good" instead you're not punished by doing even better than you should be OR you can cash out your reward for being ahead. Either way you get a benefit of your choosing. TLDR $10 game with $20 of content. Good replay ability and player consideration. Well done.

Incredibly satisfying to play! Scratches the neurological itch to optimize and compound

I can't even put it into words but I can't stop playing. I just wish you had the chance to select different map sizes. Going endless mode on a huge map to expand out as far as you can with higher and higher requirements for each stage would rock. Having a much larger map with a 'creative' mode of a mode that allows you to place whatever buildings you want to try out different builds or make really nice looking cities and stuff would be amazing.
