Some nostalgia around this game - I played the demo in 2016 during my younger years. This was the first 4X I got really sucked into, more so than Civilization games (at that time). And I do like its isometric artstyle. However on revisit, I did not enjoy it as much. Very likely because I suck and I spread out my research points, but things got repetitive fast while also getting overwhelmed my enemies. Realtime sections were a chord (and AI wasn't much better either). With another sequel, maybe it could've turned out a better game.4 found this helpful
Had a blast playing this one, game itself offers a very simple core gameplay, that revolves around your class and weapons of choice. The way you play the game is simple, take control over territories, survive until you finish an objective. All falls down to you as a player, do use your meat hands to fight off all enemy attacks? or relocate a lot of your already limited resources and time into building up defences? Do you want to speedrun the objective while knowing every enemy attack might be the last one youll survive, while attacking unscouted parts of the map? Or do you take your time scouting and get closer to harder mutations hitting the battlefield? ADHD: Very cool turn based game, repetetive at times, but a great experience. 8/102 found this helpful
Emerge: Cities of the Apocalypse is a post-apocalyptic strategy title developed and published by Emilios Manolidis that combines city-building, turn-based strategy, and real-time combat into a single experience. Instead of focusing solely on constructing settlements or eliminating waves of zombies, the game asks players to restore civilization by reclaiming districts one at a time while managing limited resources and defending humanity from an ever-present undead threat. Its ambitious blend of genres gives it a distinctive identity, offering players a gameplay loop that rewards thoughtful planning as much as quick reactions. The strategic layer forms the foundation of the experience. Players gradually expand across a devastated city by capturing new sectors, gathering supplies, and restoring infrastructure. Every turn presents meaningful choices, as expanding too aggressively can leave valuable territories vulnerable, while excessive caution may slow overall progress. Resources remain scarce throughout the campaign, making efficient management essential. Buildings must be upgraded, supplies carefully distributed, and defensive preparations prioritized to ensure that newly reclaime…
