Istrolid by treeform is a quietly inventive real-time strategy game that builds its entire identity around player-driven design rather than traditional faction-based gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game has a lot going for it: Simple, streamlined graphics that will run on any computer, good ship construction capability, fun combat, (for the most part), a decent "Campaign" mode, multiplayer support, and a fun challenge mode.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, while the combat is functional and occasionally tense, it often feels secondary to the design phase.
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And the best part: The game is 100% free atm (idk if there are going to be microtransactions in the future).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I just wish I could host a private game to play with friends, as that's my preferred multiplayer style.
