Bryan and Josh recently spent some time managing a series of settlements in rogue-like city builder and prophecy-defier, DotAGE. Long time project of solo game developer, Michele Pirovano, DotAGE is wonderful little management sim with bright cheerful pixel art, sharp entertaining writing, and a level of ease and polish that you do not often see in the worker placement genre of games. What really sets the game apart though is the game’s prophecy and apocalypse mechanics, which sets up a series of compelling problems for your fledgling settlement to grapple with. So grab yourself a roast chicken and settle in for a conversation about the hope and despair that Josh and Bryan experienced as they tested their fate playing DotAGE!

Three Word Reviews:

Bryan - Pixels, Prophecy, Personality

Josh - No Golden Path
