I’m not sure if this counts as a “patient gamer” because I played them to death years ago…but I’ve been playing both again recently and they’re just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They’re not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they’re old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!

Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games.

If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I’m sure there’s tons of great strategy games I’ve missed over the years

    Ooh I’ve got Frostpunk but haven’t played it yet, good to know it might be similar!

      Just so you aren’t going in with the wrong impression, it has very little in common with the gameplay of FTL/ITB. It just hits the same buttons for me and I’m sure there’s a ton of fan crossover. I mentally put them in the same made up category of “atypical strategy games that really get you thinking”
