TOHOTOPIA

I'll admit, I was already a Touhou fan and Polytopia fan before I learned of this game. I've never been a Civ fan, gravitating towards Polytopia due to only being able to click with the 4X elements in simpler, more bite-size pieces. I've also been playing since Touhoutopia devs released the demo. But seeing this what this game does with the elements of all three games/franchises makes me feel like there's something new here! By far my favorite part is how this game combines more Civ elements into the Polytopia-simplified format, such as the use of faction-unique heroes, and independent factions (city-states and barbarians). Actually, I'd have to say the heroes mechanic is one of my favorite ones of the game, as well as one of its main draws. They provide a way for players to carry out different approaches to each civilization, instead of always falling into rushing for the same techs on the tech tree, and general strategy remaining the same. Of course, I'm sure that this sort of fun exploration of strategies is just my perspective as a casual player. Competitive scene will probably find a way to optimize the process, and soon nobody will like choosing different hero deployments,…

Fun and simple to learn. But ONE. BIG. PROBLEM!!! ...Where is Cirno faction! Waiting patiently :)

Utsuho Reiuji in this game is literally the embodiment of the intercontinental ballistic missile gambit in all its forms, and its great.

I needed that tan patchouli, thank you

It's fun Only gripe: by the very end of each game I have way too many troops and training slots to have much fun. Too many things to click on.

If you want a quick fix of 4x/grand strategy but dont fancy dedicating hours to a playthrough and just want something nice and bite sized to fill yourself up with, this is perfect to fill the niche. Regardless if you know the touhou ip or not, this is just an improved take on polytopia, an existing 4x-lite game.
