Gargadusa's Tower

Wow I never thought I would love this game so much. I just got stuck in it for about 6 hours. I don't like tutorials. My favorite part of games is figuring them out. This let me poke around and it's gonna let you go as fast or as slow as you can click pretty much. It's been fun to learn. I keep finding new menus and the surprise oh wow look at all these buildings I can make. Anyway lots to find and do. The person making it seems to really care and it is already fun. I mean if menus and numbers and administration seem fun to you, and don't forget it's got lots of numbers going up and down (hopefully up mostly). The UI isn't perfect but it's not bad and they give a lot of access to the way it looks which is a plus. Anyway I've really enjoyed this.

Man, I rarely post reviews, but this game has the potential to be a fantasy manager dream. Even now in this early beta version you can easily get hours of play time. For transparency, I've cleared floor 10, my 6 party group OVR is showing 150, so I will continue to dig. I've barely touched the crafting or trading systems, and they already seem to have a lot to play with. The faction correspondence seems repetitive but it's so early who cares. Just wanted to share this review to say SUPPORT THIS GAME AND CREATOR!!! LET HIM COOK! BUY AND PLAY NOW!

Great adventure guild simulation game. It really scratches the itch of managing and optimizing and progressing as you build up your roster of idiots and send them to their glorious death. Currently it's still in an early stage in terms of features and polish, yet it's so good that I've been no-lifing it since I got it. The core system/feature base is very engaging. And it has a ton of depth in a space that is frankly underexplored and not often pursued by devs due to the sheer scope of what's required to do it well. I'm surprised by how well it's done so far, so I'll continue playing and I'm looking forward to where it will go from here. Also, the developer is incredibly active and very responsive to feedback, releasing patch after patch, iterating on those systems at a pace I can't help but be impressed by. I can't imagine the potential of this game if development keeps up for the next few years. It's the type of game you just throw 1000 hours in without noticing, with all sorts of layers to explore and ways of playing it. Highly recommend giving at least the demo a try to see what it's like. You can pretty quickly appreciate if the game is for you or not, but after 50…

Football manager meets Guild Manager with permadeath. If you like Pick Me Up and are looking for a game that can scratch the itch, this is it. Fair warning, it's a spreadsheet game that makes heavy use of AI--but it's also relatively unique in this niche. I've been scouring for a game like this for a while, this is just about the only example of it I've seen. Many other guild managers require you to still play as the adventurers in your guild, either in turn-based play or real time strategy--This is a pure manager, and that's what I love about it. The basics of the game are you're a guild manager trying to descend 100 floors of a tower to stop some cosmic threat. You assemble your guild, divide adventurers up into parties, quest, do raids, and generally try to find your way to the bottom of this massive underground tower. There's a few systems that separate this from a traditional party/guild manager in fun ways--Biggest of which is a reliance on party synergy. Every character is born under a zodiac sign, and those signs heavily influence which party members will work well together and which won't. This means building your strongest party is not as simple as just "stick your highe…

Tihs is my Favorite game. If you like tower climb anime or LitRPG this is required. Not an optional quest.

Break out the excel sheets, get your formulae flowing, we are going to MANAGE! Personally I don't really care if it's AI generated character images or not, the meat is in the various interlocked systems of which you try to compromise and manipulate to clear the tower.
