About Siegeturtle
Siegeturtle is a single-player idle roguelite RPG from YYZ Studio that launched on November 10 2025 for PC Linux and Mac. It combines creature collection with incremental upgrades as you guide a turtle through hostile waters. Each run involves surviving waves of enemies by timing dodges and deploying animal allies' abilities. The goal is to push your journey further each attempt unlocking new skills and customizations. The art style is whimsical with cartoonish critters and a low-stress combat loop. It's a relaxing strategy game where planning upgrades and team compositions matters more than twitchy reflexes.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around wave-based battles where you control a turtle swimming through increasingly dangerous terrain. You start with basic moves like shell slams and gradually unlock abilities from recruited animals such as electric eel shocks or otter shields. Between runs you allocate resources to upgrade stats or buy new recruits. Battles feel methodical as you time jumps to avoid attacks and strike when vulnerable. Idle mechanics let you earn currency while offline but progression hinges on strategic choices not just grinding. The roguelite elements mean each death resets your path but permanent upgrades let you tackle harder content. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes with deeper runs requiring careful planning of synergies between animal skills.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings average 4.6/5 with 78% of players completing the base story. Average playtime is 12.4 hours but 35% exceed 20 hours chasing late-game upgrades. Reviewers highlight the "satisfying incremental progression" and "creepy-cute enemy designs." 68% of players report the chill combat tempo as a standout feature. Completion rates for animal recruitment are 92% but only 29% achieve 100% skill tree mastery. The game's Steam page shows 89% positive reviews with common praise for balancing difficulty and accessibility. Community moods lean toward "relaxed strategy" and "progression satisfaction." Achievement completion averages 61% with 57 total trophies ranging from collecting rare animals to surviving 100+ waves.
PlayPile's Take
Siegeturtle is ideal for players who enjoy slow-burn strategy and creature collection without intense action. With a $19.99 price tag it offers solid value for its depth and replayability. The idle elements help but success requires deliberate planning between runs. If you like gradual power scaling and team-building mechanics this has 20+ hours of relaxing but meaningful upgrades. Avoid it if you want fast-paced combat or open world exploration. The roguelite structure ensures variety but resets can feel tedious for some. It's a strong choice for casual RPG fans seeking a low-pressure challenge.
