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
I’ve heard so much about Slay The Spire but never checked it out for some reason…I will have to now.
Totally agreed about Advance Wars! That’s the game that got me into strategy but ITB really takes it to a new level of fun
