Been playing The Ensign for a couple months now. It’s basically a retro-style RPG set in the same world as the critically acclaimed A Dark Room. You start off in a little village, building it up and recruiting villagers. But the real fun is in the clan battles – you can team up with friends and raid other clans. There’s a ton of strategy involved in planning your attacks and defending your base.
The gameplay loop is pretty simple – you gather resources, upgrade your buildings and troops, and then go raiding. There’s also a neat little story mode where you uncover the events leading up to the original game. It’s got a really cool dark, atmospheric vibe that I’m digging.
Look, if you’re into strategy games and don’t mind a bit of a challenge, you’ll probably like The Ensign. It’s not perfect – the grind can get a bit repetitive and the UI is a little clunky at times. But overall it’s a solid, addictive game that I’ve been enjoying for a while now.
