Strategy game for people that don't like strategy games

User Rating: 8.5 | Eufloria PC
Eufloria is deceptively simple and engaging. Saw this one on sale at Steam, thought I'd try it. Looked easy and kind of flowery & pretty, maybe even relaxing. It's all those things, but gameplay does get intense in later levels. And it's pretty to look at. Oh and did I mention it's a pretty game. Music & sound effects are quite relaxing, too. This may turn some males of the species off, but my husband saw me playing and tried it. Came back a few hours later and he was still playing!

Like I said, not a strategy fan, but this one roped me in. I still go back and play it with some of the in-game player-created maps. There's just something about making things grow and expanding territory and then conquering the next asteroid and swarming your enemies so you can take their world and oh oh oh.....must....go....play.....now.
Also there's a demo so you can TBYB (try before you buy).
