Almost three out of every four players keep coming back for more than ten hours. Its strategic layer alone gathers 136 glowing mentions out of 172, while the UI quietly frustrates a quarter of the room.

What it's about: Ancien du village, aidez-nous ! L'apocalypse approche et nous avons besoin de votre aide pour préparer le village à survivre. DotAGE est un jeu de construction de ville au tour par tour, un roguelite de survie sans pitié. Allez-vous accomplir la prophétie?
