Age of Resistance

jogo TOP!! muito bem trabalhado e totalmente interativo. nota 10

I do appreciate that this is a solo developer, and I like the idea as South America often doesn't get much love in strategy games, but it is currently not good enough. Firstly it is a lot of waiting around and doing nothing to get anywhere. You accumulate money painfully slowly, especially if you are playing as anyone other than Brazil/Argentina. The economy is also poorly modeled and difficult to develop. You can invest in a settlement to increase its income, but doing so is absolutely foolish - it will take about 32 in-game years to recoup your investment and that is assuming the territory is never occupied by an enemy army. If this happens, the investment is automatically gone. Therefore the only sensible option is to invest in military and military technology. There is a small tech tree but again the only sensible option is to rush the military branch. The other branches only increase your income by +1 per month - in a game where you need 288 coins by default to build a single soldier. Overall the economy is just too slow to feel satisfying. There is diplomacy where you can ally with up to two other nations but this is also half-baked. Allies only seem good for financial aid every so often as they will not join your wars, and the enemy AI does not seem to ever declare a war on you. There are a few events/decisions that pop up but these seem to always be the same events, at the same times in the game, regardless of country chosen. They are rarely anything of interest, either. Overall the price is certainly fair, but I think there is a devastating combination working against it. Plenty of strategy games are quite slow paced and enjoyable thanks to their depth, while others are fast paced and simple, allowing users to get invested in a campaign over a lunch break or during a commute. This game strikes the exact wrong balance by being both tediously slow and extremely simple.
