Mine is vehicle building games like Stormworks or Scrap Mechanic. It’s so much fun to shoot at your friends with your latest nuclear drone while hiding in your bunker with a better defence system than Area 51 !
I’m very curious about your fav niche game genre !
(I’m sorry for my bad English ^^')
I like Idler Auto-Battlers, if that’s a good description. Games like Dragon Cliff or Ghost of Dragon (both by the same devs).
A group of NPCs automatically fight indefinitely, gather loot and experience and while that’s going on you can manage a base or something, change the party, maybe some other stuff. A big part for me is also not constantly resetting to increase some multiplier, like you would in a Cookie Clicker, Leaf Blower Revolution or NGU Idle.
I need to find more games like this though. A lot of games on Steam in the Idler category are either clickers, which I don’t want or F2P, that seemingly try to get you to buy stuff.
Sooo, football manager in fantasy setting? :)
I know you’re joking to some extent, but can you just let the game run for hours, and it will continue to simulate matches / seasons, with basically no input? Or would it require regular input by changing players and other things?
I tried an FM once on Game Pass, but when it started with walls of text one after the other, I just zoned out and didn’t even try.
Also vehicle building (Space Engineers and From The Depths), and automation games like modded Minecraft and shapez.io.
Is From The Depths’ gameplay like Besiege’s, linear with levels to complete ?
To be honest, I’ve never played the actual story mode, only messed around in the Sandbox.
I really love point and click adventures. Especially those like the old ones from LucasArts. No rush, no quick reflexes, just your brain and a fun time.
