Ever wondered what separates good strategy games from great ones? After working on two deep strategy titles—including our current indie project, Just a Shadow Game—we've learned valuable lessons about what truly makes strategic gameplay engaging.

In this devlog-style analysis, we'll explore the three essential factors of a great strategy game: Depth, Complexity, and Variance. We'll discuss common pitfalls, share practical examples from hit games like #Starcraft, #SlayTheSpire, #Wildfrost, #VampireSurvivors, #Cossacks, #Civilization, #HeroesOfMightAndMagic, #Balatro, #BadNorth, #IntoTheBreach, and explain how indie developers can achieve depth without overwhelming complexity.
