As Far as the Eye is a hex-crawling turn-based strategy roguelike, coming soon to Android and iOS
Carry your home on your back
- As Far As The Eye is a hex-crawling 4X city-builder where your home is on your back
- Or that of a giant animal at least, as you guide your tribe to escape the encroaching wave
- It's set to arrive on iOS and Android March 5th, only a little over a week away
Ever wanted to carry your home on your back? Well, if you're a snail, or have sufficiently few personal possessions then you might be able to. But what about carrying an entire village around and moving from place to place? Well, that's what As Far As the Eye is all about! And you won't need to wait long to give it a try as it's arriving next week on March 5th for iOS and Android.
This hex-crawling roguelike strategy sees you plopped into a fantasy world of nomadic wanderers, with your tribe's mobile village on the back of an enormous creature. Your task? Cope with increasing resource demands, obstacles and random events as you journey towards the centre of your world, named rather fittingly The Eye.
Along the way, you'll have the chance to stop and stock up of course, but you'll always be racing the enormous wave constantly chasing your tribe. Naturally, there are hard choices to be made and allies you meet can just as easily become enemies, if that's what's needed.
Despite this, aside from the ever-looming threat of the wave, there's little in the way of enemies when it comes to As Far As The Eye is concerned. So if you're looking for a cozier resource manager then this manages to adequately balance a peaceful setting with that still omnipresent nudge of a looming disaster.
Of course, if you don't quite click with it (or do as well as you'd like) you can try different runs again and again thanks to the roguelike tribe system to mix up each playthrough ensuring hours of enjoyment.
While As Far As The Eye may be the biggest release thus far we've got plenty of other recommendations to offer. Check out our latest entry in Off The AppStore to find out what amazing games may've passed you by. Why? Because they're not on the classic storefronts you know and tolerate.
