A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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‘m saving Into The Breach - like many excellent 2D pixel games - for when I get my Steam Deck, gonna be later this year hopefully, looking forward to it

That was actually one of the first games I broke out on the Steam Deck, after sleeping on the game for years. It’s perfect for that system and just a great little game.

Great couch game for sure. If I had it on a mobile device I'd play it all the time

Weirdly the Android version is included with a Netflix subscription, and I think it's entirely offline so you could install it, log in with someone else's creds, then deny it internet privileges and use it indefinitely. Theoretically, that is, I play on Steam Deck so haven't needed to try!

That is... Very weird. But hey, if it lets more people try one of my favorite games, I'm all for it

Yeah it's a bit odd, I assume that Netflix covered the cost of doing the mobile port in exchange for exclusivity. I made a post a while back which talked about it and linked their spiel.

You'll be thrilled. I've got many many hours logged playing this game on my Deck after buying it on Switch and only playing a few minutes.
