For me, if I ever hear “card-based” or “soulslike” I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.

I’m also not a huge fan of modern “roguelikes” but I’ve sunk days into nethack and games like that.

      Loose rock!

      A landslide has occured!

      I also dug Lego Rock Raiders as a kid. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve played an RTS in about 20 years:

      • Lego Rock Raiders
      • Warcraft III
      • Age of Empires II
      • The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth (1 & 2)
      • Rise of Nations
      • Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds

      I never got too heavily into the “strategy” part–I just loved being able to have these battles play out with catapults and horsemen and the occasional Dodge Viper with machine guns (howdoiturnthison is forever burned into my memory). I particularly enjoyed how your units could get upgrades and rank up, and they’d carry across missions in BFME so you could make them absurdly powerful. I also remember the graphics being pretty impressive to me–I spent a lot of time just zooming in on units and watching their idle animations and stuff.
