Phantom Doctrine
As a big fan of Jagged Alliance and X-Com style games, I am enjoying this game so far. If you are a fan of the genre, I’d suggest you give it a go. Even if only to convince developers and publishers that there is a demand for this kind of game.
That being said, Phantom Doctrine feels kind of half-baked and uneven. I’ve played approx 30 hours so far. It seems generally stable and well coded. It locked up during one of the shooting animations once. No other crashes etc. The game is pretty obscure about how it works under the covers so I can’t really point to anything else I’d describe as a bug. Most of my problems with the game stem from what I’d consider to be bad design choices.

Phantom Doctrine is a cold war era spy game that lives up to the premise, pitting your Cabal (a global intelligence agency) against the enemy Beholder Initiative.
There’s a real atmosphere to the game, with everything from the music to the character designs and clothing choices, to the way you use a cork board and string to piece together connections between the different pieces of intelligence you gather, all coming together to give a real feel of the 80s Cold War setting.
The gameplay itself is roughly divided between turn based tactical infiltration missions, and a pause time global map/management system campaign. The combination will be familiar for fans of games like XCOM, but Phantom Doctrine has some of it’s own elements and ideas which makes the game distinct.

The Last Wulin
The game is simple and fun.
The game cycle is fight a battle, earn xp and money, use the upgrade your buildings to gain more warriors, equipment and modifiers to decrease healing cost or increase income and caps. Fight next battle. Repeat.
But each round the bandits get stronger so if you don’t pick the right upgrades, or put your warriors in bad starting positions, then you won’t be able to keep up. So while it seems very simple, there’s planning and decisions to make that cost. I played for 18 minutes and lost three times. It was fun, look forward to learning more about it.

Well… it’s something.
The game only has 5 “game modes” which consist of something non-sensical and boring, there isn’t really anything “relaxing” or satisfying about them. The music cannot be adjusted and is pretty loud. Honestly it just feels like a school project from 2005 done by two students that just served to be presented infront of a class and then forgotten. Definetly not worth the money, I got it from a steam gift

I pirated this game from Google, but after playing it for a while I decided to just buy the game to support the developer bcs this game is just super fun, after just 40 hours of playing this game I can say I love it the designing of the hull and turret is simple but is still fun, I’ve already made about 20 tanks just from WW1, the only problem with this game is that it’s empty and lacking a lot of other features that I would like in the game, I understand that it’s only made by one person so I can wait for as long as possible so that he can improve this game a lot, so I’ma just list the problems I have with the game:

Wolfstride
Wolfstride is a refreshing and unique blend of style, coolness and madness. The graphics and music are just sooo good. The swift animations fit perfectly and just make it so natural and yet at times so suddenly… “POoW!”. All the Art in this game is very well achieved, genuine and inspired, but the SOUL of it all, it’s the story… It’s a ShatTered Soul, and when looking back into this experience it may feel like a story of random unrelated episodes that are hammered together into one shape/Shade using the power of craziness. Should this even work!? It does, because it achieves those levels of funny and extroversion we got used to watching and loving on very famous and successful animes.

Finished it and wow what a great game.
Pros:
everything, this game is truly a storytelling masterpiece
with its great humor, game-play, drama and over-all mechanics.
Plenty of customization to play your way but there’s hardly any
at the beginning and end
Cons:
found 3 misspelled words.
there are some tedious mini-games and even the main game-play
is a little repetitive after a while.
some of the storytelling is a little drawn out but it usually never leaves
you without an option to skip it if it’s getting boring for you.
