Citybuilder titles come in all shapes and sizes, not unlike the cities we create in those games. Today, we’re here to talk about CruxGames and its upcoming roguelike citybuilder, Combolands. It may look small, but it has a lot to offer, and you’ll need to think fast and plan around disaster, for the island you’re on doesn’t want to “play ball” with the things you’re building. If that sounds up your alley, you can get the game on Steam on August 24th. For more information, check out the synopsis and trailer below:

“Combolands is a tiny roguelike citybuilder offering deep strategy in a bite-sized package! Construct buildings on a procedurally generated island, unlocking powerful synergies and triggering cascading combos. With 21 possible guild combinations, Combolands offers huge strategic depth with a ‘number-go-up’ rush.

Unlock new guilds as you progress from island to island, each with unique strengths and drawbacks, plus councilors, relics, and other unlockables that change and define how you play. Break the game, refine your strategy, and build a city for the ages!”

If you’re eager to try the game out before its full launch, you’re in luck, as a demo is available on its Steam page. Other features include:

• Build a thriving metropolis on a procedurally generated island!
• Find delicious synergies and chain unbelievable combos!
• Master deep strategy in short thirty minute bursts!
• Unlock new playstyles and adapt your approach as you go!
