Combolands: Roguelike Citybuilder

This is a stellar roguelite that requires solid planning to successfully complete a run of, especially at the higher difficulties. Each two-guild combination lends itself to different strategies - some will have better synergy, some will have weaker starts, but each pair presents its own strategies, especially once you factor in pulling buildings from other factions via the blueprint system. The optional increased difficulty levels are significant challenges, requiring tighter and tighter play to succeed as you progress. I'll be playing this one for a while. Strong recommend if you're into city builders, tabletop games where placing tiles to build engines is the core theme, and players who want a game that avoids the roguelite trap where it becomes easy to play by reflex far too early.

something about combolands scratches a very specific itch that was designed specifically for me, and it goes beyond how excited i get to use railroads to connect everything and get more numbers

An excellent combination of Balatro-esc big number gameplay and city builder. This game became my hyperfixation for days after it came out and I 100%'d it in just a couple of days, which felt both very doable and rewarding. It's a perfect game to fit into a short gaming session whenever and wherever.

It's good.

Super addictive

Brilliant game.

Definitely a fun and addicting combo of map-builder and balatro-like. I hit a wall with the difficulty level once I got to level 8. And I felt like the unlock pace was a little too quick to keep me engaged and experimenting over the long haul. But overall, a nice little time killer.
