Shadows of Forbidden Gods

This game tackles a very unique niche and scratches a particular itch. If you have that itch, you'll be able to forgive the learning curve, basic visuals and undercooked UI. The simulation elements carry enough complexity to make very different approaches towards victory viable. The game also has a surprisingly varied assortment of mods with custom gods you can play as. Each of those brings a new flavor to a campaign through unique gimmicks and mechanics. If you're thinking that playing this game you might happen upon emergent stories and memorable characters, like with Dwarf Fortress, this game is not it. It's a much more mechanically focused experience. You'll be scheming, manipulating rulers and setting plans in motion, but you won't meet anyone worth remembering along the way. It's also fairly cheap and deep enough to sink a couple tens of hours into. Thumbs up

I believe one of the most underrated games on steam. Fantastic, a great mix of plague inc and a more traditional strategy game. Mod support and variety of gods and playstyles keeps it super interesting and alot of strategies viable. I hope we get more and if youre curious I highly recommend, its worth the price

It's kind of a cross between dwarf fortress and a 4x game. Would be fantastic if they reworked the pop up system, because often times you drown in information after clicking next turn.

cant make up mind yet, still need 100hours....... Its a sandbox game with random events and outcomes, meaning each game will be different and theres no telling before the time if it will be a good or bad experience. music is lacking! and the few notes playing.. whole family complain when they hear it.

This is the only 4x game I've ever finished a run of. good game.

Very few games out there where you play the bad guy, and that are fun. Interesting format with a ton of mods. Nabbed it on sale for like $5, super worth it at that price!
