What are interesting non-japanese singleplayer games with very high replay value? I'm thinking Factorio, Heroes of Might & Magic III, Cities Skyline or even Minecraft
Hard mode : no roguelike.

Disgaea if you like that sort of thing, watch a video before trying it however.
Not sure what else tbh.
Gacha I suppose but that is a touchy subject with some.
>Disgaea
>non-japanese
I'm currently learning Japanese so I avoid the Japanese games atm in order to be able to play them in Japanese later, but I'll definitely check Disgaea.
Frick gacha games tho.
Avoiding japanese media is probably the worst way to learn japanese.
I'm not avoinding all Japanese medias, I'm avoiding Japanese video games specifically
My bad, misread the OP
Brigador comes to mind
Disco Elysium
the Command and Counquers
unironically Baldurs Gate 3 but play as a character you fleshed out the backstory of before you start, dont do what you would do but what he would (e.g. dont optimize)
>Disco Elysium
>very high replay value
It really comes down to a handful of playthroughs. There's infinite tiny permutations, but when it comes to big stuff you'd actually care about or even tidbits of lore and such, there's only 5 major variants (all-in one major stat x4 and well-rounded) and at most 24 sub-variants amid the 4 major stat focus setups.
And only the most deranged of fans are going to go to that much. Most people who like it will do 2 or 3 runs max.
OP here, never played Dwarf Fortress, how is it? Played a bit of Rimworld but got bored of it quick
>OP here, never played Dwarf Fortress, how is it?
Coming from someone who played DF since it was a 2D game with only one z-level: Demands for a steam release utterly butt fricked it into an unplayable state. The user interface rewrite required from the graphical rewrite basically gutted every single hotkey and once again destroyed muscle memory of what keys to hit.
For you, this doesn't mean much, but you have to keep in mind that with DF prior to steam, you could effect any screen with hotkeys. ANY screen, with hotkeys. And hotkeys can be macro'd with an in-game key recording. Almost anything in the game could be setup once and be repeated with loading and playing a macro.
... Modern DF has multiple interface screens that have zero hotkeys.
That's the current state of steam DF.
Oh, and adventure mode isn't done "until april" allegedly, but DF uses Toady Time so who the frick knows. Don't play steam, play an older version.
You are severely autistic literally why would anyone who hasn't played the game care
If you didn't like rimworld idk why you'd like DF all the fun comes from following the "stories". It took like 5+ hours of watching videos to understand the game for me but I don't really care to do that myself so I just made a nice base over 10-20 hours and then got bored too
>why would anyone who hasn't played the game care
every menu still has multiple steps and instead of using hotkeys that multiple hands can press as quickly as you can type, you're now restricted to mouse clicks that have multiple seconds between interface actions.
keep in mind that frame rate issues STILL have not been properly dealt with, and game speed is tied to frame rate. this makes a slow colony building game EVEN SLOWER.
like Grand Strat?
Stellaris
UPDATE THE GAME
Are there any japanese singleplayer games with high replay value?
sims/crafting/survival/rouge likes are all pretty not-japanese
Etrian Odyssey and the like
Those games seen to only have one hand crafted world and a single storyline, maybe will a couple branches.
Maybe good for like 3 playthroughs to do a couple different playstyles/builds. "moderatly replayable" compared to factorio/minecraft/city skylines
I guess unironically we could talk about old school mmos like maple story etc that actually do have a lot of different ways to play em
souls games 🙂
Most arcade games if you're into that
Elona+ and the various other JP roguelikes like One Way Heroics
SaGa games
Some of the 90's autismo sim PC games like Artdink's or KOEI's stuff if you're into that
Cladun X2 if you like Diablo+Zelda nonsense
Why does it have to be non-japanese you stupid homosexual?
>NOOOO YOU HAVE TO LIKE JAPSLOP!!!!
uh, no?
ahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Are these bot posts or are we being raided?
hows that you're the one posting about asiaticshit in a thread about superior western values
Thanks for confirming we are being raided
True enough, shouldn't you be playing a game where you're a highschool student, and trying to get laid, in a pg13 game?
>we
you dont belong here

Not included but obligatory plotlines; the gunslinger, the technician guy, the secret tomboy, the genetic experiment, childhood friend, affection meter grinding for a fade to black sex scene
The only japanese game worth playing is Sengoku Rance
Deus ex
Portal is short and sweet, you can play through it in one sitting maybe. Fun on a rainy day.
Cuphead is quite pleasant, I've played that game co-op about six times with different people and it was a blast every time.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead or Bright Nights depending on which side of the tribal war you want to be.
Command and conquer
Dungeon keeper
x-com (newer ones)
warcraft 3
If you want western rpgs that don't suck dick look at the guys who make pathfinder or divinity original sin.
If you have advanced autism learn dwarf fortress or a paradox game
Been enjoying Oxygen Not Included.
Has a minor amount of RNG from map seeds and your recruitment pod, but has a large focus on playing with the environment to make it habitable.
The different map types provide different challenges, but even just the base map is pretty fun.
Loose industrial theme with potential for automation of systems.
Civilization games are a go-to, but I think of those more as individual matches more than replays.
It's Japanese, but far-removed from the standard, Tactical Nexus.
Extremely autistic and you'll get a ton of replay value out of it optimizing levels and redoing levels with stat bonuses.
It's got a demo.
