    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.

It's a rogue-lite city builder that plays a lot like an RTS without
combat.  It's very much a PC game, something you need a keyboard and
mouse for.  It doesn't really have anything in common with Civilization.

I really enjoyed it.  In particular I found it has a really good
difficulty curve, where you need to play better and better to progress,
but I never felt overwelmed.
