Recently had a big roboquest kick with a buddy. What a great game
I play it with my son, it's a riot together!
How is dyson sphere? Whats the gameplay loop?
It's a cross of factorio (major influence) and planetary annihilation (light influence).
Like factorio and satisfactory it's a factory game. Build this, then automate it, then do it again but bigger and bigger. The formulas for making stuff is simple compared to the other two but the scale is giant. You start in a solar system and take every planet over, then you take over multiple solar systems. 64 in all.
It also encourages you to have multiple games going by rewarding you in a way that makes additional games easier.
There is an enemy called the fog which is a lot of fun to deal with as well. They're optional but totally make the game better IMO.
Lastly the scale of the game is amazing and it's gorgeous at scale. I just started sending solar sales around the sun to gather energy and it's beautiful. Sometimes I just stare at it.
And yeah I'm addicted, it's as amazing as the other two factory games I mentioned.
That sounds cool. I'll have to give it a shot.
