The Bluecoats: North & South
The game is full of bugs, errors, AI should be improved a lot, keyboard commands are not always comfortable, the map is quite uncomfortable.
But it was my favorite game on the Amiga and that’s okay then
UPDATE
After 24 hours of gameplay the thing I find most annoying during the assault on the forts is the lack of footsteps in the enemies and the spawn behind them

Not bad, actually. I read the controls were not good originally but that an update fixed it, for me they were working with an American keyboard. The new 3D shooter fights are not bad but I miss the original jump’n’run environments.

Castles & Catapults
Re-live this classic medieval strategy game, Castles & Catapults, which combines the turn-based planning of a board game with the action and excitement of a real-time strategy game.
Players must construct and defend their own castles while amassing an army to attack their opponent with. Each “day” in the game is divided into three phases, with players taking turns spending money on their castle or their army in the first, amassing their forces in the second phase, and then going into the final, real-time combat phase. Castles & Catapults is packed with the best in medieval warfare–building castles, storming walls, demolishing armies, and, of course, battling dragons.

Something seems to have gone wrong
PlayUSA is a game that you don’t really know what it’s about. Let’s start with the fact that this game cannot be played alone. Either we have someone to play with or we can not download this game. We start by creating a lobby and fighting over who can give the larger amount(?). Then we either go to the map of America and win or lose. Overall not recommended unless you want to hit an easy 100% in achievements.
**✔️Easy achievements
❌No singleplayer mode**

Sons of Ra
Neat concept and all the characters explore different playstyles. Soundtrack is a big standout, it’s great!
Having played long enough to unlock all the gods, the strategy feels a little too minion-focused at time of review. None of the god abilities buff towers- only disabling or destroying them. Most abilities either damage or buff units already on the board, or summon a super powerful unit. I can reliably win games without building a single structure, and I would like to see the balance shift a bit towards building to really lean into the tower-defense aspect.

Alright quick review under 2 hours played. It’s a FAST paced tower defense with all controls done through the mouse. That brings me to what I dislike so far. Tower defense is cool and all but when I have to hold a mouse button down then select a defense/offense/power by sliding the mouse then placement after that. It’s just not intuitive. It should be abilities and units are selected with the keyboard and placement is through the mouse. That would allow the player to place units and abilities WAY faster.

War War
A old-school style game that is fun and doesn’t take a gigabyte of storage in 2020? Crazy! Seems to be extremely optimized as it is small but brings with it a bunch of fun online matchups. 3 units, ground forces, a tank and 2 drones. I think I am best at the tank as it is easiest, but splitting up the ground forces and controlling individual groups of them with two joysticks on the same controller at once is awesome! Units can’t turn around (they can’t and it seems intended) so the game is a simple match up once you go to War War!

Chess Destroyer
What a great and innovative way to play chess. I like the ways you destroy other pieces it looks really great combined with the amazing sound effects it makes when you crush enemies and next wave comes into play. If you are a fan of chess or have just played it for fun then i really recommend this game. I also think it is a great way to think differently and also practice some strategy in the real game.

Cool idea but the game is stacked against you. even in random “Easy” mode you can not keep it going for long as the goals become unobtainable

Additional units and traits can be unlocked giving endless opportunities to customize and theory craft different formations and strategies.
Minesweeper Versus
When I was first asked to play this game, I really wasn’t sure how Minesweeper 1v1 would ever work out.
Not gonna lie, I was pleasantly surprised. Great game design. Perfect fit for a few free minutes. If you like Minesweeper THIS is a must get :)

Always wanted to play Minesweeper against my friends. Now I can play it against randoms and also climb the ladder. Developer is a nice guy and is trying to improve minesweeper even though it is already a perfect game. Big brain IQ needed.

Theatre of War
A Strategy Board Game Like No Other
The rolling hills of the battlefield lay before you as you carefully move your units into position. The clock is ticking, and the enemy is already attacking the vulnerable city near the center of the board with bomber units. Will you pull off your attack and annihilate the enemy? Or will you be outsmarted by your cunning opponent?
From the studio that created the Harpoon series comes this unique real-time strategy game set on a surreal tile-based board game battlefield. Wage war over three eras of combat: Clash swords and loose arrows in Medieval style, roll tanks and march infantry to victory in the Great War setting, and take to the skies with aerial units in the Contemporary mode. Each battle setting has its own unique set of pre-arranged battle scenarios to test your ability to use each unit’s strengths to your advantage, and to guard against their weaknesses. Put your strategic abilities to the ultimate test!
-
Engage your opponent in a game that looks like Chess, but plays like a real-time strategy game with individual unit stats, projectile attacks, and the ability to move multiple pieces simultaneously.
-
Gain the advantage by adjusting your view of the battlefield between a 3D angle and an overhead tactical perspective. Zoom in and out, and pan the camera around the battlefield to find and engage your enemy.
-
Play against the computer in 35 designed scenarios, or compete against a friend in the local two player versus mode.
Note: Original network multiplayer modes are included but, due to the age of this title, not supported for this release.
Urban Fantasy: Vampires vs Werewolves
In UF: Vampires vs Werewolves you first choose one of the Supernatural factions, like Vampires or Werewolves with the goal of conquering different cities of the world (there will be more factions with upcoming updates). You play a 1v1 real-time strategy battle where you control your units to capture regions of the map. The player will have to manage their resources, and balance early-game aggression via spamming units on board with the late-game combo abilities that can annihilate the units very easily. You will be able to buy buildings in each region changing what kind of resources that region provides you with. In addition to the abilities, units, and buildings the game features lore-rich events that will introduce new characters, and will force you to make difficult decisions that will lead to game changing consequences. The variety in the combination above will make each gameplay unique, and will increase the replayability of the game.
There will be several maps to choose from, and the player will have to keep in mind the unique features of each map when they try to conquer it. Each faction also has unique Lords, and similar advisors that grant different upgrades in-game influencing the strategy you’ll choose to play the game.
