Cosmos Quest is an incredibly simple strategy game where you guide a civilization from the Stone Age to the discovery of fire and into the future when mankind travels to outer space.
Gameplay in Cosmos Quest is similar to other incremental games. In the beginning, you tap the screen to get energy, which you can then use to get bonfires for your people. After a while, you can automate this process as the fires begin to generate energy, eventually adding caves for even more energy. Of course, this all happens during the Stone Age, and soon your caves transform into stables, taverns, and factories as you advance in time.
One of the best aspects of Cosmos Quest is its combat system. Your characters can participate in combat, level up individually, evolve, and equip other objects to boost their unique strengths. Depending on their attack strength and life points, they'll win or lose battles against your enemies. That said, you can't influence the combats directly.
Cosmos Quest is a very entertaining incremental strategy game that stands out in particular for its pixelated graphics. The game has a ton of unique events, lots of objects to get, and plenty of heroes you can recruit for your civilization.
