outpost4

This is a casual auto-battler, but it is NOT AN IDLE GAME so during each mission you must be physically present to manually choose your relic and weapon options, and then manually upgrade your mining drones, ore extractors, and weapons. The game is a bit repetitive, and pretty simple to play. It is "mindless fun" basically. Each mission will take about 15 minutes to clear, then maybe another 5 minutes applying the ores you just earned to your research library. So it's nice to play during your lunch break at work. But then endless mode... I cleared 200 waves and it took almost 4 hours, and I was still going strong... so plan accordingly if you're going to try endless mode!! It is a little bit glitchy, most of which involves text descriptions that are too long so they don't fit inside the text box, and half of it gets cut off. Hopefully this gets fixed in the next update though. As far as the combat and other features go, there aren't any major bugs I've seen that will give you a bad experience. Just the text getting cut off in some places, and in end-game the constant stream of ores can block half of the screen, and a couple of the relics aren't working right but should…

Love the game. So manu upgrades available that all sorts of strategies are available all the time.

outpost4 is a compact but surprisingly deep mixture of idle progression, resource management, roguelite structure, and horde-based combat. Developed and published by BananaDogGames, the game revolves around building a mobile outpost capable of surviving increasingly dangerous alien environments. What begins as a relatively vulnerable operation gradually develops into an impressive combat machine, creating a satisfying sense of escalation that serves as the foundation of the entire experience. The main gameplay loop revolves around collecting resources from different alien planets and converting those materials into greater power. Progress is divided between temporary improvements that strengthen the current run and permanent upgrades that carry forward into future attempts. This distinction gives each session a meaningful purpose. Even when a run ends, the time invested rarely feels completely wasted because permanent progression provides another opportunity to return stronger. Death consequently becomes part of the development cycle rather than simply a punishment. One of the game's biggest strengths is its extensive technology system. More than 100 permanent technology upgrades…

Great fun, long lasting incremental. (30 hours in - doesn't look like I'm half way through yet). Great price.

Honestly, the game is fun and addictive, and it’s definitely worth the four bucks. That said, I hope your next project doesn’t include AI generated art, because I’m most certainly not going to support that kind of practice. I completely understand that this is probably one of the reasons the game costs only four bucks. Nevertheless, I’d be willing to pay more if that meant some of the money went to a real artist.

its great game if your boared
