EcoGnomix

In EcoGnomix, you send a team of specialist gnomes on rogue-lite runs into a labyrinth of enchanted caves to bring back resources to expand your village above. Grow your little gnome-topia to let your expedition teams go deeper and deeper into the caves. Pick your team to gather resources, collect supplies, and fight off foes in strategic turn-based gameplay. But be warned, with each turn, the cave becomes more and more unstable, and ravenous bats pick away at your dwindling supplies. So, decide when it's time to leave and plan carefully. The deeper you go, the more supplies you'll need to stay and fight. So balance your resources, adapt your team as you progress through various biomes, combine various upgrades and units to create powerful synergies, and know that no matter how a run ends, you'll never leave empty-handed.

  • Build Your Little Gnome Village: Above the caves is where you will build your thriving little gnome village. Unlock new buildings to get upgrades and abilities, establish production chains for valuable resources, and build up a tiny economy to help your team of gnomes venture further on their adventures for riches.
  • Strategic Rogulite Runs: Every level needs you to think and play strategically. Pick from a variety of gnomes to deploy, each with its own specialty. Place them at the start of your turn and send them to work gathering resources and supplies while fighting off foes. At the end of your turn, reposition your entire team, add more gnomes if needed, and gather again! But be warned, with each turn, the cave becomes more and more unstable, and ravenous bats pick away at your supplies. So, decide when it's time to leave and move on. Choose your path down the caves as you decide which routes to take. The deeper you go, the more supplies you'll need to stay, so think carefully and plan each move.
  • A Different Team For Every Expedition: Every run lets you adapt, change, and upgrade your team at various points, making each expedition into the caves unique. Modify your team and playstyle to what you need out of the run, mixing it up when a change of tactics is required. Pick and swap from a variety of gnomes to get the job done, assign game-changing upgrades that combine in unexpected ways, and discover hidden special abilities for certain gnomes.
  • Progress With Every Run: Venture into the caves, knowing each run gets you resources no matter how they end. The deeper you go, the more valuable resources you can gather but no matter the outcome, you won't return empty-handed.
