Hello Lemmy,
I’m looking for a long-term Android / browser / PC game, were you manage your stuff and come back a few ours or days later.
I’m thinking of games like:
- Prosperous Universe: https://apex.prosperousuniverse.com/
- Neptun’s Pride: https://np.ironhelmet.com
- Star Trek Universe: https://stuniverse.de/
- or Ogame https://lobby.ogame.gameforge.com
aspects that I don’t like in the above games are:
- PvP (especially when you have to come online at a certain point in time in order to not loose sth.) -> ogame, Neptun’s Pride
- Needing to be online at a certain point in time to make proper progress (stuinverse)
- being to overwhelming or basically an excel sheet (Prosperous Universe)
- pay to skip time sucks
- keep clicking to progress faster is sth. I don’t like as well
It doesn’t need other players or a scifi theme (although I prefer it), but it should be real-time based and long-term with little daily time input.
It should be a management, base building, trading, strategy game.
Perhaps s.o. knows games like this :)
Have you heard of The Longing? It doesn’t tick all your boxes but it is definitely a long term game that has you make slow, real-time progress while the real time clock of 400 days is ticking down. Not really management sim progress though.
On the more managy side, I’ve had some fun with Factory Idle. Essentially mini-Factorio as an idle game.
So basically incremental/idle games with some light strategy or base building mechanics?
Universal Paperclips! It’s an idle game that relies on you making smart planning decisions to optimize things, so there’s a degree of strategy that most of them lack.
Not quite what you’re looking for, but I think you might enjoy Worldbox for a nice and relaxed, long-term game! It’s a fun god game with the twist that the inhabitants of your worlds are alive and doing their own thing, be that farming, building cities and kingdoms, forming empires, or making alliances and waging wars all without your input (although you can meddle in the affairs of the world as much as you wish). It’s free (with a single $7 premium purchase if you love the game and want to support the dev).
