Iron Harvest
Reminds me a lot of Company of Heros except not as many unit options or customizable skills.

I would recommend Iron Harvest. the campaign is good for an RTS (not starcraft 2 level of story) but compared with more recent RTS' it’s up there and not just a tutorial for multiplayer. gameplay is similar to the Company of Heroes if you like that style, there are four factions (1 dlc faction) to play as, with the mechs I think being a game highlight with unique designs, styles and gameplay for their factions. voice work is good with an option for a ‘native’ language rather than overriding polish, russian and german characters under one language.

LemWars
Don’t buy the full game, get all you can from the demo because the full game doesn’t have anything new.

Lemwars is a strategic game who want simulate the lemmings of the 90'
At the start the tutorial you see it’s really short and don’t explain much about the mechanics of the game, also could be better explain it while you playing it not at the start all in.
The game tried simulate the lemmings but with the normal lemmings you can’t exactly control them you have to control the enviroment, with Lem Wars you can control your units and send them to attack the enemy like a kind of moba game.

TrenchesWIP
The game has work in progress in the title so I went into it without expecting much. Now that I know how it works I’m pretty surprised. It’s good for boredom but I had some issues and I’m sure I could find more. These issues being:
1. When trying to build something if you hold f while a little too long you aren’t allowed to place the building and have to cancel and go back into the menu
2. After each round of solo at least there are at least 5 enemies stuck in their spawn
3. If artillery collapses a trench on the enemy side I’ve noticed enemies can still walk through the ground where the trench would have been and they pop up out of the ground

Is great, the building function is great although it would be nice if it could link up a bit better (trenches and tunnels).
The UI’s for building selection etc could be a little less blocky.
can’t wait to see the rest of the textures and other buildings that may appear in the future
The movement is ok, but you can really bhop.
when running it seems fin, but when you look at others its a little blocky in their movement.
i thought the use of the resources for cars, planes etc was cool idea, it make the game feel a bit more grindy in a way of you dont have to be constantly in the action, you could wander off the the map limit farm some trees, and possibly get ambushed.

Badiya: Desert Survival
Only for the EA fans, I will say that.
I personally love these kind of games and have quite a few, but this setting… I just had to have it.
Something absolutely different than other games in the same genre. Those who have played Minecraft (or similar games) know that usually the hardest “world” to survive is the desert. This is all set in the desert, so I think has huge potential of being different and challenging! Also, although at the moment not implemented just yet, there’s going to be sea (and sailing on it), pearl diving, and if I can believe one of the trailers I’d say “Stranded Deep-esque” beaches.

I reveived a key for free, keep that in mind when reading my review.
This review is for alpha 1.9, I will update as the game progresses. I am giving a thumbs up with the following caveats.
1. The game engine is still unstable, though not terribly so. It seems every NPC encountered increases the chance of crashing so make sure to save before visiting any point of interest (area with npc’s). When the game gets laggy save, quit to the main menu and reload.
2. Unfortunately, related to above, the mechanic to save requires building a lean-to. This is not horrible, you can carry the wood around with you, but I hope the devs read this and implement a temporary quick save function until the engine is more stable.
