Bounties of Babylon

Bounties of Babylon offers players a good board game-like design, built around careful placement of tiles and lucky or unlucky rolls of the die. It doesn’t take long to pick up the mechanics and then discover how to exploit synergies, complete quests, reach the turn point requirement, and push forward. Unfortunately, the title doesn’t support its solid gameplay in any way. No effort is made to create a compelling universe, the tutorial is text only, the graphics are functional and nothing more, and the game doesn’t feature multiplayer. Bounties of Babylon has laser-focused mechanics and creates interesting puzzles but never found a way to keep me engaged enough to master its gameplay.
