Giantfall

Great game that mixes tower defense and colony sim without cards or random upgrades. I hope more people look into this game! The demo is fun too, it just locks some of the advanced buildings but lets you get a taste of basics fairly well.

for fans of - They are billions, Diplomacy is not an option, Gooworld and age of darkness, with a little bit of settlers thrown in Giantfall is still early in it's lifecycle, and on first glance it looks a little bare bones, theres a lot of polish that could be applied to the UI, but as soon as you click new game, you start to see the depth of it - you pick size, you pick climate, even storyteller, as if you're playing rimworld. after you pick your difficulty, and you see the list of boons, you start to see how customizable this experience really is. Giantfall is a game that rewards dedication, and punishes complacence. Each playthrough is brutal, feeling easy until it feels impossible, but each failed attempt is a lesson that carries into future playthroughs, an optimization, maybe 'next time' you might make it through a little easier.

The strongest aspect of the game, in my opinion, is the settlement itself. Watching villagers work, solving logistics, expanding production, and seeing a town gradually evolve is incredibly satisfying. The extensive difficulty and pressure settings also deserve praise; after discovering them, many of my initial concerns about pacing disappeared. Edit: Any QoL I suggested has already been fixed by the dev who is very proactive! More than anything, I hope future development leans even further into making villages feel alive. Organic paths forming from foot traffic, daily schedules, a day/night cycle, and deeper production chains could elevate an already excellent foundation into something truly special. The bones of greatness are here. If the developers continue refining and expanding the settlement simulation aspects, Giantfall could become …

Great game only just started playing but it’s easy to figure out and progressively gets more challenging. I love the simple art style. Definitely recommend it to fans of strategy and survival games.

Fun game to play time and time again. Great fun to kill all the giant creatures
