Drill for oil like it’s 1899! Turmoil offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America. Includes: The Heat Is On DLC, a brand new campaign with tons of oil to dig up and convert into cash!
This one is definitely a hidden gem.
The game design is simple, and there are just a hand full of game mechanics. However, those mechanics tie into each other very well, and the main challenge - having limited knowledge of where the oil might be, and having to invest money to look for more - remains fun for a long time.
I keep coming back to Turmoil whenever I stumble across it in my games folder.
yeah, i bought it and loved it there’s even a multiplayer now which is pretty fun
Oh, I wasn’t aware of that! Seems the GoG version (which I bought) doesn’t have it though :-(
Nice! It reminds me of the kind of flash game I’d spend all evening playing back in the day, I should give it a go.
I hadn’t made that connection, but now that you mention it, the art style and gameplay definitely have that tone.
I’ve been playing it this evening, it definitely scratches the itch
As a StarCraft player this is surprisingly close to RTS, yet so simplified that it’s great for casual play. It even has a multiplayer where you asynchronously compete with others for the highest score on a map. Can highly recommend!
