Microcivilization
The strategy genre shines brightest: 'stratégie' appears twice as often as any other keyword, and players who push past the first 2 hours stick around for deep sessions. Yet the honeymoon fades—only 56% still rate it positively after 10 hours.
What it's about: Incremental clicker strategy, where you expand, construct, research, fight, collect heroes and make choices between good and evil. Ascend through difficulty tiers by playing through challenge campaign going back and forth through history. Mammoths included.
