Hailing from the creative minds at BMC Games (Baby Marsupial Creations), a new accessible 4X (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate) strategy game, ‘PocketCiv’ has made its grand entry on STEAM™.
If you’re scratching your head over what this game entails, you’re in the right place. Picture a game designed with modern tabletop-style mechanics, built around the concept of building your own civilisation, all within the comfortable grasp of your PC or MacOS®. PocketCiv boasts an Early Access status, offering an inviting experience for casual players, seasoned strategy lovers, and 4X fanatics alike.
PocketCiv embodies a different approach to the 4X strategy genre. It’s lighter, more playful, and lets you manoeuvre your tribes, establish cities, invest in technological advances, erect wonders and dispatch expeditions. But beware – it’s not all smooth sailing! You must brace yourself for the havoc brought on by random events. Only careful planning coupled with a sprinkling of good fortune will see your empire flourish over time.
As an Early Access title, BMC Games claim PocketCiv is generously feature-packed, incorporating 15 engaging Scenarios, a standard game mode for endless replayability, a complete tech tree of 50 upgrades, and a whopping 17 event types. You could be a builder, an economist, a strategist, or a warmonger – PocketCiv caters to all. And if you’re a newbie to the 4X scene, fear not, there’s a comprehensive seven-chapter tutorial to ease you into the game’s core mechanics. Truly, this game is a nod to the popular print-and-play classic strategy games but with a fresh, modern spin.
