Illuminaria

The game has a core strategic overworld game, and then exploration component which is a collection of basic mini-games and a highly simplified auto-battle system. Pros: * Polished * Nice art * Good gameplay loop Cons: * Simplistic story (albeit fairly well told) * Shallow gameplay * Few gameplay elements (once you've completed the first region, the other regions play identically, but with higher tech). Basically, grinding. * No music except for some battles. * Short - completed the entire thing (on hard) in about 6 hrs.

For me it was good game but I had no incentive to play on normal or hard mode() Music is there Art is cute and nice Story is there gameplay: building base is good at the beginning and then it gets boring expeditions are okay at best - 1 You always have enough supplies to move - map has same number of nodes to visit no matter if you go top, middle or bottom. 2 Fights are simple - both ranged bots shoot up to 3 spaces ahead and mages do splash damage but not enough to change fights. 3 Random events are win/loose or don't loose/loose scenario - 1st one is worth rigging in your favour with resource from base other are just tap bar when over one of 3 green bars(basically always win).
