Legacy Bites
Play cards to save the population of humans and the rest of the animal kingdom!
Key Features:
Random Game with optional deck building
Campaign Mode containing 24 missions
Gameplay:
The world is divided into human and animal populations. Your goal is to keep each population within specific boundaries.
A game is played over various rounds. Each round a threat card is played by AI which changes the population of humans and animals in the world. The player receives 1-4 cards for that round to negate the effects of the threat card. Although the threat card only affects populations when the round ends, player cards may affect populations that round and up to the next two rounds. Plan and play cards carefully. After the last round ends all remaining population modifiers are played out. Keep an eye out for that! To make matters even more interesting, the boundaries for each population may change during the game! And there is a round timer! You’ll need quick hands and a quick mind to succeed!

Time Commando
Wow.
I was only 7 the last time I had ever touched this game, that was all the way back in 2009. I got frustrated with Time Commando because of how difficult it was, never being able to finish the game after already halfway through it and eventually gave up. I ended up losing the disc somehow and when I did decide to give it another try I never found it again nor could I find another copy anywhere else, so I gave up looking and eventually forgot the game even existed.
Then LO AND BEHOLD, 12 years later and I stumble across this game again on Steam. Words cannot express how absolutely THRILLED I was to be able to play Time Commando again!

i own it on CDROM now I own it on SteamROM
if u want the DOSBox to be in windowed mode with higher resolution, you have to go to the steam folder you installed it, like “X:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Time Commando”, find “TC.conf” and change the window resolution to something like “windowresolution=1280x960” then either “fullscreen=false” or just Alt+Enter when it opens

King of the Universe
In the 24th century BC, the Sumerians have turned the land of Mesopotamia from a simple Cradle of Civilization to the home of empires. It is your mission to take control of the kingdom of Kish and conquer your enemies, in order to become Lugal Kiški, King of the Universe.
The Sumerians, or “the black-headed people” (Sag̃-g̃i-ga in their native tongue), were the first people to invent both civilization and writing. Their well-organised and state-run societies make the perfect setting for a strategic video game. In King of the Universe, you will not only try to conquer your enemies, you will also have to take care of your own people.
Through military means you gather land and slaves, and through economic means you build new structures for your people. If your citizens do not produce enough supplies to quench your war machine, you will fail. If you do not protect your citizens from foreign invaders, you will fail. This game is about balance, and only by finding it will you become King of the Universe.

Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: Russia
I REALLY hoped that I would enjoy at least one of the Chronicles titles…but alas, to no avail as this fails quite miserably as well.
It actually started off quite promisingly. What Ubisoft mucked up in terms of story in the previous two (especially India) they did quite well here. this was the first story in Chronicles I felt invested in. The MC’s motivations as a family man and a father’s overprotectiveness work well to explain his motivations, the posession by shao Jun provided a nice touch and until the end you really didn’t know where it would go. Well, not like it did go somewhere that brilliant but it was a decent setup at least.

Wow! What an awesome game. Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia unfortunately is the last series in the trilogy chronicle series where you play two characters Nicolai Orelov and Anastasia. In Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia you can use a telephone in one room can distract a guard in another or shooting out breaker boxes which shortens (but doesn’t eliminate) enemies field of vision. I love the environments (from nondescript buildings to blood-strewn laboratories and actual moving train, trams and boats) which makes the adventure even more involved, giving you the opportunity to really use your ever-changing surroundings to your advantage. The story, the gameplay, graphics and sounds are all of the highest caliber.

Blocks!: Hammer of the Scots
Looks great. Could be great .
However there are a some serious bugs that make the game not really playable. At least , not faithful to the board game.
The card that makes a noble switch sides , should be decided on a die roll. I have seen that card come up four times, and it was successful each time. Could happen, but there is no dice rolled in the graphics makes me thing otherwise.
The main attack force and the reserves is the biggest problem, that is just chosen randomly by the computer.
Naval movement only allowed me to move one unit. And then asked me if i was sure , when i pressed NEXT. So the game at some level know i was allowed to move anther unit , but would not let me.

The game requires some serious polish.
Besides a weak AI (more or less acceptable), coding is sometimes faulty.
The game hangs randomly due a fatal bug during wintering phase that turns it totally unplayable with either Scots or Brits. From time to time the cards drawing enters in a wierd loop.
Also noticed that picking destinations at the end of the turn are some times ignored, like Wallace unable to move to the forest, or nobles unable to pick specific castle.
There are some other improvable usability annoyances.

Prince of Qin
Cracked the game back then when I was 9 at 2009 and playing it 12 years later just feels so nostalgic from the music to the gameplay.
– Real player with 51.4 hrs in game
Definitely more of a nostalgia buy, but it’s an old-school very deep RPG in the vein of old-school Divinity titles.
The game has a nice charm to it with the visuals and side content, but be prepared to consult guides occasionally and explore a lot because this game is cryptic sometimes.

Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: China
Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: China Review
The fight continues…
Some key points that this game offers:
-
Stunning 2.5D gameplay mechanics
-
Multiple planes to navigate on
-
A new and unique arsenal at your disposal
Gameplay & Controls:
The standard layout is advised against. The way the controls are configured for Mouse and Keyboard users is not the greatest. Fortunately, you have the means to change the button loadout to a more comfortable experience. Playing with a controller works just as well if that is your preferred method.

The last mysterious Assassin’s Creed
There is no way I won’t recommend China, it is a great AC experience for those who care about the first two games, despise its flaws. Ezio trained Shao Jun, the most stylish assassin since Altair, performing graceful stunts to kill and then vanishing like a ghost, including a feet-dagger. It is no easy task to go classic, back again as it was in the past, the game is pseudo 3D side-scrolling that looks like Chronicles of Sub-Zero. It isn’t less complex than a full third person 3D game and can find its place on best AC games, maybe its just not enough for the setting. What really caught my attention the main character has the best voice acting on any AC to date and it is a waste to see that character squandered away with just a single game.

Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: India
Thumbs up because it’s a nice enough game (the stealth parts are good fun, it has nice art, alright music and the voice acting isn’t too bad although not too remarkable either) and to counter the probably numerous reviewers who tend to bash Ubisoft titles only because of Uplay.
Still it probably could’ve been better. It feels a little short, the ending came rather abruptly, and maybe half of the levels - sometimes in direct succession - are timed-based with you having little freedom in your approaches but encouraging to kill guards to get through them quickly as possible, as they are only rated by your speed and not by how many sightings, alerts or kills you’ve had (or not) as is the case with the stealthy levels. This is rather a downside because if people have ever asked for stealth elements that feel rewarding and fun it’s the Chronicles games that of any AC titles have them (Chronicles: China had such time-based levels too, but they didn’t feel like taking up as much space as they do in Chronicles: India). Oddly enough there are even parts where you are mostly forced (!) to snipe enemies down with a rifle, sometimes semi-silently, but still in a rather easy and cheaply feeling manner.

Okay, let’s begin with some basic stuff. You can only say that you think this game is good or bad. You can also compare it to China, but that’s all. You cannot compare it to other Assassin’s Creed games, like Unity. It’s a different type of game, 2.5D, so there is no meanful comparison to first person ACs.
Now, if you liked China, you’ll definitely like this one (unless you only like female assassins). I can see improvement to many areas: artwork is even more outstanding, graphics look better as well as the colours, cities feel more alive and the whole environment gives more options and space to discover. There is also a map. In addition, you can now change control buttons (huge problem with China). As for the rest, story is good, creativity is needed, movement in depth looks amazing.
