Battle Brothers is a gritty 2D turn-based tactical RPG where you lead a group of mercenaries through a low-power medieval fantasy world. With procedurally generated storylines, intense battles, and a unique combat system, this game offers countless hours of addicting gameplay. Get ready to conquer enemies, loot their camps, and train and equip your men to gain a satisfying sense of accomplishment. But beware, the game is also known for its high level of difficulty and frustrating challenges that can make it time-consuming.


What we like:
  • Addictive gameplay
  • Intense tactical battles
  • Satisfying sense of accomplishment
  • Unique turn-based combat system
  • Appealing medieval theme
What could be improved:
  • High level of difficulty
  • Frustrating randomized based mechanics

The Banner Saga 2 is a gripping Norse-inspired fantasy adventure that engages you with its exceptional narrative and captivating art direction. The game features a turn-based combat system that challenges your strategic thinking, new creatures and obstacles, and battles resolved through primary objectives rather than max-murdering the other side. Make difficult decisions that can lead to starvation, mutiny or death, while defying traditional conventions and rejecting typical rules of morality. The sequel is a must-play, with vastly improved combat, deep and rewarding narrative, and an immersive visual and sound design.

Rusted Warfare is a bargain bin RTS game that's easy to recommend. It simplifies the learning curves of Supreme Commander and Total Annihilation but with a large tech tree and simple resource management. The graphics have an endearing vintage feel and the soundtrack is excellent. The game is somewhat buggy but still functional and fun to play. Single player content is extensive but lacks a story. Multiplayer is primitive but scales up to large scenarios. Get it for the fun gameplay, huge tech tree and low price tag.

What we like:
  • Easy to learn with a huge tech tree
  • Vintage graphics with an outstanding soundtrack
  • Extensive single player content
  • Great value at a low price
  • Interesting combination of gameplay mechanics
What could be improved:
  • Somewhat buggy
  • Lacks a story in single player mode
  • Primitive multiplayer mode
  • Overly simplistic for experienced RTS players
  • Lacking polish in game modes
