2024 · Strategy RPG
Loop Hero's mobile port brings its hypnotic blend of idle combat and strategic tile placement to touchscreens, creating a game about rebuilding a forgotten world that's perfectly suited to portable play.
2020 · Auto Battler
Teamfight Tactics is the auto battler that stuck, combining deep strategic layering with constant reinvention through its set rotation system, and its mobile version is one of the best competitive strategy ports available.
2022 · Roguelite / Survivor-like · PC / Steam
Boneraiser Minions flips the survivor-like formula on its head by making you a necromancer who summons armies instead of fighting directly. The minion management adds genuine strategy to a genre often criticized for being passive, and the sheer amount of content and unlockables is absurd for a solo-developed game. The hands-off combat won't appeal to everyone, but for players who want something truly different in the genre, it delivers.
2024 · Auto Battler / Inventory Management Roguelite · PC / Steam
Backpack Battles takes two things that shouldn't work together, auto battling and inventory Tetris, and turns them into something compulsive. Optimizing your bag layout is the game, and the PvP framing gives every decision stakes. Content updates have kept the meta fresh, and the community remains active. If you've ever spent too long organizing your RPG inventory and wished that was the whole game, this is exactly that.
2022 · Strategy / Auto-battler · PC / Steam
Hero's Hour captures the spirit of classic turn-based fantasy strategy with a clever auto-battler twist that makes combat fast and exciting. The procedural generation keeps maps fresh, and the faction variety is impressive for a solo-developed game. Rough visuals and some balance issues across factions are real drawbacks, but for fans of the genre who've been starved for new entries, it fills a gap that few other games even try to.
