About Defense of the Oasis

✦ AI summary

Build your kingdom across procedurally generated maps with limited turns to explore, discover cities, and research technology before barbarian hordes attack in this cult classic blend of Minesweeper and Civilization. Survive twelve increasingly difficult levels, capture their Glyphs of Power, and unlock the secrets of Oasis in this fast, turn-based strategy game with infinite replayability.

The award-winning cult classic has emerged from its tomb!

One part Minesweeper, one part Civilization. With every click of the mouse your empire grows stronger. Spend your turns wisely, and when the barbarians come you will conquer them and re-unite your kingdom. Will your empire stand the test of time? Claim your destiny and unlock the power that lies at the heart of Oasis.

Defense of the Oasis is a fast turn-based exploration strategy game. Each level gives you 85 turns to explore, discover cities, build roads, research technology and build as strong a kingdom as you can. When your turns are up, the barbarian hordes attack! If your cities survive the assault, you capture the kingdom's Glyph of Power—if you found while exploring. Capture twelve Glyphs of Power from twelve different levels to win the game. Lose too many battles against the barbarians, and you will lose the game.

Defense of the Oasis features four different difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Hard and Insane) as well as nine different multi-level campaign scenarios. All the levels in the game are procedurally generated, for infinite replayability.

One of my favourite puzzle games of all time. For its age, it's amazing how well it works today. A classic of the Reflexive Arcade; it's a real shame there was never a sequel and I don't think we ever heard from the creators again.

A clever little casual game, with just enough strategic choice and a regular reward loop to keep you engaged when you don't want to play something heavy.

This is a simple one player game that can be increasingly difficult and relies mostly on puzzle-solving type strategy, not hand eye coordination or speed.
