Welcome to my blog. I talk about strategy games and more. Stay a while and check out my stuff. I'd be happy to hear from you.
It’s been a tactics heavy month and it seems like I’ve been jumping into one tactics game into another. But I promise there’s going to be a bit more variation soon. Achtung! Ctulhu Tactics is a turn-based tactics game based on the Achtung! Ctulhu RPG.
More details have emerged as Creative Assembly has just released part to their diplomacy gameplay reveal video for Total War: THREE KINGDOMS. Watch the video below for my thoughts on it…
Stellaris’s much anticipated DLC expansion, Megacorp goes live on December 6th, 2018 and it’s looking to be the biggest expansion and game changer to date.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada was a pretty good game but flawed in parts. The sequel, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is building on the first game, refining it and making it a much bigger experience.
Triumph Studios has released another faction spotlight video for Age of Wonders: Planetfall. This time the focus is on the Dvar, and industry heavy faction that’s tough and all about survival.
Paradox Interactive announced a new immersion pack for Europa Universalis VI. Golden Century will focus on Spain and the Iberian Peninsular. It adds playable pirate republics which makes this immersion pack something I personally would love to get my hands on.
After a lengthy teaser which I wrote about yesterday, Firaxis has finally revealed that they are indeed working on the second expansion to Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. It’s called Gathering Storm and it’s coming out on February 14th, 2019.
Creative Assembly announced today that Medieval Total War, Empire Total War and Napoleon Total War have been re-released on Steam as Definitive Editions. This essentially means they include all DLCs and expansion for these games.
Stellaris will receive the biggest changes yet with update 2.2 which will also release alongside the Megacorp DLC expansion. Mark this date. December 6th, 2018!
The Sid Meier’s Civilization YouTube channel at this moment has a live video that has been running for 11 hours now. No words, no hints… just an ominous dark cloud, stormy weather over a large city below.
Creative Assembly revealed today the all-new diplomacy system in the upcoming Total War: THREE KINGDOMS. They claim that this is a revolutionary system that is the single most significant redesign in Total War history.
You can get on of my favourite grand scale RTS games, Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion for FREE right now on the Humble Store. This offer ends on November 18th, 10:00AM Pacific.
New information surfaces that Electronic Arts will be handing over development duties for the recently announced Command & Conquer Remaster to Petroglyph Studios, a dev studio founded by the same people that actually made the original Comman & Conquer games.
For those that remember the classic Space Hulk game from 1993, it has always been an unfulfilled wish to get a new modern Space Hulk PC game. We’ve had some recently that have been pretty sub-par. Space Hulk: Tactics is Cyanide Studio’s attempt at recreating the classic Warhammer 40,000 board game for the PC.
I’ve had a close eye on Parkitect since is was released in early access on Steam nearly 2 years ago. It is the closest RollerCoaster Tycoon-inspired tycoon game I’ve seen. It’s come a long way having received some major updates. Now, it’s coming out for real on November 29th.
It’s taken a while but it’s finally done. Frags of War has a new re-branded YouTube channel focused on delivering awesome strategy game content. It’s not just any random video though, I have a plan and strategy for it.
If you crave for the classic RTS fro the early 90’s, Loria is an upcoming RTS that the devs say is an homage to the classic era of RTS. It also has a striking resemblance to Warcraft 2, which gives it its unique charm. A little different from most modern games.
The Real Time Strategy genre has seen better days. Once a mainstay of the PC platform, now, it is left only to intrepid indie devs to attempt fresh takes on the genre. The first AI War released back in 2009, was an attempt to try to combine ideas from other strategy sub-genres to resuscitate an RTS genre that was stagnant.
Space Race is the first proper DLC expansion for the Mar city builder, Surviving Mars and it comes out on November 15th. If you’ve been unsure exactly what you’ll be getting with this DLC, this video goes through what’s new with Space Race.
To World of Warcraft players, Warcraft III was the prequel to the MMORPG’s story. To strategy gamers, Warcraft III was a classic Blizzard RTS that added hero mechanics and also spawned the MOBA genre. Blizzard just announced that Warcraft III is getting remastered.
You know what they say, it ain’t Half Life 3, but we’ll take any new game from Valve… which these days is as common as spotting a pink unicorn. Artifact for those not in the know, is Valve’s digital card game based on Dota 2. And going against the trend… it’s not free-to-play.
It’s been a very long time since I’ve played an MMORTS. I remember the days when these were all the rage, from big publisher like EA and small indies getting into the action. Many have crashed and burned in the process. So it surprises me to see Starborne: Sovereign Space releasing in Alpha today.
Bad North, by new indie studio Plausible Concept, is a real time tactics game that is released as a timed-exclusive on the new Discord Store. It takes the core concepts of a strategy game to present a fresh new take on the tactics sub-genre. Read on for my review of Bad North.
