About the Game

God doesn't play dice games.
Because he likes slot machines.


4X4 PROGRESS is a new type of strategic design game.
You have to calculate the optimal layout to get a lot of resources and use them to advance your civilization,
but the layout you worked hard to make is randomly shuffled the next turn.
You can save only part of your layout by spending resources, but it's entirely up to the player how to save your layout efficiently.

The player becomes the god of one of 12 different civilizations and guides them from the Stone Age to the modern era.
In a small 4X4 panel, you place various tiles such as cities, farmlands, and mines, and depending on the layout, you have to get resources and induce technological development to advance your civilization.
Of course, each civilization has its own unique tiles, so you can enjoy different gameplay for each civilization.

Defend your civilization from the attacks of enemies that invade at regular intervals,
and can your civilization launch a rocket into space?

You can play as the following civilizations!
1. Russia
2. Japan
3. Egypt
4. Arabia
5. Germany
6. America
7. Maori
8. Inca
9. England
10. Korea
11. Zulu
12. China
..You can also enjoy various other civilizations as DLCs!
