 Oops! I forgot to check HumbleChoice for new games were waiting for me
on Tuesday! Well, a day later (but hopefully not a dollar short),
let's go see what games are available this month.

      This one seems odd; a post-apocalyptic fantasy game that
      seems one part "SimCity", one part "Civilization", one
      part "Settlers", and a dash of "Timberborners" for style.
      Honestly, I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems just
      a bit too many genres mixed into one, and the presentation
      looks just a little bit too "mobile game" for my taste.
      Maybe it's good? I'm not sure I'll play it to find out.
 

I played the demo for this.  Personally its _almost_ an interesting game but it didn't quite gel for me.  Oh, and its "rogue like" in that at intervals all your settlements get wiped out and you have to start over, just with some additional capabilities each time.
