Should you play it?

50 Years is a fast-paced alternative to the bigger, longer turn-based strategy games. You can win or lose a game in a single evening. Either way you'll want to play it again.

What works

  • High replayability with multiple factions and modes
  • Short, accessible game sessions
  • Pleasant art style and relaxing music
  • Challenging strategic depth especially on higher difficulties
  • Low price and frequent discounts

Things to keep in mind

  • Automated combat with no player control
  • Lack of save feature
  • Minimal graphics and animations
  • Some randomness can feel unfair
  • Limited faction differentiation and story depth
