Five Nations
A nice up-to-date looking 2D RTS like AoE2: Definitive Edition or C&C Remastered,
neat homage to Base Build Space RTS like Star Trek Armada 2 or Conquest: Frontier Wars.
Despite the game was made by a team of 2 people, it does rival AAA products.
While it does lack Multiplayer, Story and Single-player Skirmish are very well done.
The game has a really good Wiki page and Demo version on steam.

Five Nations is an impressive real-time strategy game that borrows action and gameplay elements from many of the genre’s classics. The game has a very deep and complex base build alike Age of Empires, where you have to care for 4 different resources, also the unit population. The map terrain has an interesting variety of open space and white nebulas where units can hide, but not use their abilities and are slower, also there are areas that do damage units if they try to pass them like red storm clouds.

I think its by sheer luck that I found this game. Someone on twitter just randomly brought it up and I got curious and looked it up. I first tried the demo and was very surprised!
For a small studio and their first game this is a REALLY impressive RTS! It does so many things well that alot of AAA RTS’s seem to struggle with. There’s a few blemishes here and there, but overall I am surprised at how polished and well designed all the mechanics are, and the factions feel very finely tuned to fit perfectly in a competitive scene.

IRON GUARD VR
Awesome game thus far. Playing with Standard HTC Vive, and just to be fair, I am a big fan of Tower Defense genres.
Just a note of caution to all HTC Vive players, the controls are not very well laid out for the standard Vive Touch Controllers. In order to activate the two (2) Super Weapons in the game, you need to press up on the Touch Pad, which very rarely works. You cannot even get past the Tutorial until you are able to active the Super Weapon to show you are ready to play. The tutorial was the only time I was able to get a Super Weapon to actually work…and it took several attempts even then. In game, it is nearly impossible as far as I can tell, so I have never actually used a Super Weapon on enemies as of yet.
