World War 2 Craft (二战演义)
The levels do not seem to have a reasonable difficulty. The first mission is nearly impossible to complete with the forces given before one of the three bridges explode. However, game has a lot of potential if some UI and balancing fixes are made.

the animations are nice and the system is well made. Use the tactics of the era and you’ll do just fine.

IN A WORD: MAYBE
IN A NUTSHELL:
WHAT TO EXPECT: WW2 themed turn-based wargame. ‘Beer and pretzel’ play style. Attritional combat model. Chess-like battles. Unit class levelling and combat abilities. Tactical combat states. Tiny hex-grid maps. Good-looking combat models. No core force. Dynamically purchased order of battle. Some annoying bugs. GUI obfuscated game rules/mechanics. Incomplete scenario implementation. Active dev. Single-player only.
ACHIEVEMENTS: NONE.

Wolfenstein 3D
Note: I strongly encourage following this guide to setup the ECWolf source port, which allows for full resolution support, including widescreen, automapping, and normal strafing controls. Additional mods can be introduced at that point, if desired.
An OG FPS classic, players should be warned that playing the vanilla game without a source port in the modern era is a harrowing experience with wonky controls and increasingly labyrinthine levels which are brutal to navigate due to there being no in game map. Basically, the vanilla experience has not aged well. However, if you run this with a source port like ECWolf you can enjoy it in all its glory and fully appreciate how much of a masterpiece of the genre it truly is.

I did not expect to love Wolfenstein 3D. I expected a game with nightmarish mazes full of hitscan enemies. And I was right. However, I was wrong when I thought that I would not like playing through it. It took me many hours of playing the game to actually understand why I enjoy it and don’t find it grossly outdated, despite its age.
Wolfenstein 3D game loop is straightforward: find the exit from a maze, find keys to access it, shoot anyone standing on your way. Manage your health and ammo to stay alive and be able to fight. After you have completed the first level, you have seen the whole game. There are six chapters, each containing nine levels and one secret level. In the end of every chapter, there is a boss.

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

Godkiller
A heartwarming tale of the will of mankind, and its ability to persevere through any adversity. The game is fun, silly, and an enjoyable 3 or so hour experience. Take it at face value as a satirical, goofy game and not one meant to be taken immensely seriously.
Also, dash in the air to go much faster. It doesn’t always work, but most of the time it does.

Poker Squadrons
Great unique combination of poker and WWII history. You only have to understand poker hand rankings (this isn’t Texas Hold ‘em) and appreciate the Battle of Britain. Interestingly, there isn’t a an AI level setting (e.g. beginner, intermediate, expert) and it’s not necessary since the randomness of the cards dealt combined with AI provide a nice challenge. You can play for 5-10 minutes or 60 minutes easily. Graphics are good but it’s really all about the cards. Fun, economical game - highly recommended!

This is a fun little solitaire game that blends poker hands and a WWII theme. It’s very easy to learn even if you’ve never played poker before. The power up cards add a bit more strategy to the game. I’ve been playing it between my Zoom meetings and have played through the campaign twice. Definite recommend.

My Memory of Us
A beautiful game. Not much in terms of gameplay, (I was able to 100% it within 10 hours), but completely worth it for the story and the art. I love how, despite being a WWII story with it’s fair share of dark and sad moments, there’s so much adventure that it felt like I was experiencing an interactive children’s book. Especially with how well the art, music, and narration is done.
Despite being an unrealistic story (with a robot army,
! giant robots, and even a floating bathtub fight with a giant robot fish!? , this game manages to create a unique and fun experience without trivializing the darker sides of war and the effects it has on people’s lives. I went into this game completely blind, not even knowing it was about WWII until a few chapters in, so the realization of what was really happening hit that much harder for me, especially since up until that point, it was just a boy and a girl having fun and then hiding from robots. And it’s really easy to get attached to these characters and feel what they are going through, despite the fact that none of the characters actually speak, except for the narrator between chapters.

The highlight of the game is the story. It’s a bittersweet tale that will play with your emotions throughout, and even though the subject matter is horrific it still manages to entertain and lift your spirits.

Aces of the Luftwaffe - Squadron
Not z good Shmup.
-
Long loading times
-
The action is hindered by text overlay at times
-
The zoom in zoom out effect adds nothing to gameplay but interfere with the action
-
The whole squadron thing is more a nuisance than anything else4
-
Grindy, you’ll eventually get all upgrade
The first AotL was better as a simple SHMUP, this one is boring

Very fun game. My only complaint is that sometimes with all of the firepower from you and your squadron as well as boss fire, it can be a bit hard to see where you are sometimes. Overall, the challenge is fair in most cases, the voice acting is entertaining and I appreciate how the story looks at both sides of the conflict with the DLC added. I hope to see more in this series!
