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 :)
So basically incremental/idle games with some light strategy or base building mechanics?
It’s an older game, but I like to revisit pixel people every once in a while. It’s a mobile game with some mtx that you can ignore. It’s like a city builder where you can mix worker classes together to unlock new types of workers and subsequently new types of buildings to add to your city.
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.
I don’t know the games you linked, but all the games from nimblebit and from kairosoft are sim games where you put people to work and you have to wait for them to finish.
I’ve played Tiny Tower, Pocket Planes, disco zoo, and Dungeon Village 2.
None of them require an internet connection, some have ads which give you a boost, and some have paid tiers to remove the ads.
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.
