Defense of the Oasis

This is a simple one player game that can be increasingly difficult and relies mostly on puzzle-solving type strategy, not hand eye coordination or speed.

Simple sur le principe mais assez prenant et il faut bien optimiser pour progresser dans les niveaux de difficulté les plus avancés. On passe un bon moment.

Very good game

A puzzle/strategy game similar to minesweeper but with a civilization-building theme and more complexity. I originally played the demo in 2005 and was very impressed, putting it on my to-buy list. However it is by a small game developer and for whatever reason it disappeared online. I kept thinking about it over the next 20 years, checking from time to time if I could find a copy. Very happy to see it pop up on Steam. The game is as fun as when it launched. Graphics are dated but that's not an issue for a simple puzzle game. There is usually more than one way to solve each stage, depending on the strategy you use - connect and grow your cities, search for weapons, or mine for technology. There is a fun campaign mode that shakes up the standard game play, and gives you a rouge-like experience as you try to make a run through the stages. The RNG can be unfair; some stages seem impossible. But that's a small negative for what is otherwise an excellent game with very clever design. If you're into puzzle games this is a must play.
