Fish Pond Studio has released CivIdle 1.0, a free retro-style 4X strategy game on Steam.
Game Features and Design
CivIdle combines the relaxation of idle games with strategic elements, offering a minimalist design inspired by Windows 2000. Players lead civilizations from the Bronze Age through the Information Age, leveraging historical figures like J. P. Morgan and Florence Nightingale for strategic perks.
- CivIdle features an aesthetic resembling old Windows GUIs.
- Hex-based worlds with blocky menus and simple icons.
- Progression from ancient to modern eras in a background simulation.
Release and Reception
Initially launched in early access two years ago, CivIdle officially reached version 1.0 following a successful "Road To 1.0" patch. Reception on Steam is approaching "very positive" due to its unique style and engaging gameplay.
Future Content Plans
Fish Pond Studio plans to expand CivIdle with interplanetary content in future updates. The game remains free to play with optional purchases like Supporter Packs and cross-platform cloud saves.
