Siege of Centauri
Siege of Centauri is one of the best looking tower defence games available and as a tower defence aficionado, I would say it is worth playing.
Forgive the comparison, but Siege of Centauri was clearly made by and for people who are looking to scratch their Defense Grid itch. It turns out that Siege of Centauri has some fairly obvious references in it that pay homage to Defense Grid, namely the interface looks almost like it was lifted from Defense Grid and some of the music too. It also has a similar story with advisers popping up between missions to brief you on what the mysterious enemy is up to.

I don’t play many tower defense games. It’s essentially a puzzle, where you try to figure out the most efficient combinations of towers and placements to defend your base. There are features that let you see what is coming, and once you learn the units and iconography, you can definitely develop strategies and plans ahead of time. There are terrific controls for difficulty, as well as mechanics that let you customize and upgrade your available tower selection. I also see capabilities for a survival mode (defend as long as you can) and custom map development. I think there might also be an intent to support steam workshop, so that mods and custom maps can be shared.

Touch Type Tale - Strategic Typing
Touch Type Tale is a real-time strategy game with a typing twist!
Streamlined RTS design is paired with devilish multitasking from the innovative typing control system making Touch Type Tale a new and rewarding challenge to RTS veterans and newcomers alike.
During a spell-binding single player story campaign, join our unlikely hero, Paul, as he tries to defeat the evil at his door. With the throne standing empty and barbarians at the gates, he must leave his home and venture forth to save the kingdom!
Travel through uniquely diverse missions and scenarios that are each designed to reflect the story, creating new challenges at every turn, and keeping a player on their toes… or perhaps we should say fingertips.
Touch Type Tale is the ultimate underdog story asking you to defend the kingdom with just your keyboard and fight back the hordes of enemies - those from without, and some from within the realm - requiring touch-typing prowess and blistering typing accuracy.
And when you have mastered the art of typing, take your skills to the gates of other players and engage in chivalrous competition in online multiplayer skirmish battles. Relive your conquests with replays and emblazon your name on the pages of history through the ranking system.
Asynchronous language options allow players to enjoy the story while testing their fluency with another language through the typing gameplay.
For those questing for the ultimate typing challenge, an extensive selection of difficulty modes will invite you to test your mettle again and again!

-
Needs a lot of work
-
No tutorial
-
Run out of money, no guidance on how to get more
-
Extremely difficult. after 13 races best is 3rd
-
Limited number of races per horse, which if you do not have enough cash to buy another, game over
-
Need freedom, even a little would be better (venues, locations, track type, anything)
-
No breeding, no growth
-
NOT worth the asking price even on sale.
-
$9.99 US at best, WAY overpriced for content versus industry standards ($24.99 LMAO)

Bocce Beach
This is a fun, relaxing VR competitive experience. The game is easy to understand, and there are instructions for new players. The physics in the game of throwing the balls works really well. It’s part of the total package that makes you feel like you are on a tropical island playing bocce ball. I recommend it.

Just what I love in a game, simplicity and endless replay value. The graphics could be improved but the game plays great!

Wand Wars
Wand Wars is a really polished game, and probably the best party-game I’ve ever played.
While there’s a clear Lethal League feel to it, it’s clearly more accessible, because the game mechanics are so simple. The problem with Lethal League is that even though it’s an excellent game, it has that fighting game aspect that makes it very complex. You’ve got to learn safe zones, angles of shooting, bunts, with or without jumps, special moves, etc… and consequently, when you hit 50 hours of playtime, your friends will be no match for you anymore.

I love playing four player co-op games that are suitable for groups of varied skill level. This game manages brilliantly, another title with simple controls but surpisingly deep gameplay. Plus superb art and visual effects, stuff that makes the gameplay feel super satisfying when you land that sick off the wall double kill. In addition to the main mechanic of playing dodgeball with a big ball of magic you have power-ups and the ability to turn other players into chickens (take that Kyle). Lastly the game comes with a good selection of maps, each with its own unique twist. One map has fires you can light with your chicken spell, light them all and you summon a minion to help you; another features bubbles that you must break to get the powerups. All in all this is one of those games that will have all your friends asking when they can stop by and play again.

Experienced on Windows Mixed Reality
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/mxqGUDZ-mTY
There are now 3 bocce games for VR. Bocce VR Simulator is the newest edition. While I haven’t played the others, I can recommend this one. It’s solid all around. You can play single player against AI on easy, normal, or hard difficulty or you can play local multiplayer (pass the VR headset around for 2 players).
You have full locomotion available with snap turning. The physics seemed fine to me. The throwing physics and the ball collision physics all seemed realistic. I did not experience any issues playing this game. The game ran fine on my 1060 GTX at a steady 90 frames per second. It’s running on the Unity Engine.

Swords and Soldiers 2 Shawarmageddon
A very fun game for PvP Players.
The units look cute, but don’t get it wrong, the PvP game is pretty hardcore with lots of ingenious tactics.
After like 150 matchups, I’m still adjusting strategies and tactics against different factions as there’re so many tricks on timeing, using physics and unit/skill combinations.
There’re lots of funny memories during my matchups.
Once I rushed 3 berserkers against Perisa. When them reached the doorstep of the opponent’s base, a Genie came out. Guess what? I bounced the Genie and a soldier behind my berserkers with Thor’s Hammer. Then the berserkers demolished their base, while the Genie was trying his best to reach mine.

A good game that just improved on what the first flash game did.
comparison to swords and soldiers 1 and soldiers 2 shawarmageddon
Swords and Soldiers 1:
3 factions, Aztecs fast and hits hard, Vikings good tough all around, and The Chinese having utility and zen magic.
-9 maps, small medium and big.
-has a campaign, online, vs local, al and challenges
-Gold mines on maps are 3 mines on each side.
cons: the strategy can be buying units in the right order and using spells correctly or just unit spam see who runs out of gold.

Adapt or Perish
Adapt or Perish has that addictive game play that people also find in games like Factorio for the same reason. I’ve already put in over 50 hours and i’m still learning new things i can do…………then fix them to make them better……then fix them.
This game lets you be strategic not just on the field but in the DNA engineering department as well. Other RTS games have a fixed set of assets to use that use attributes others have decided for you are useful but not in Adapt or Perish.
This game lets you really get into the true strategy of war and tactics by letting you create units, buildings and more real time in game match so you can design dynamically if you lack something you need. You can push your designs to their limits and see if they have what it takes to keep you alive and searching for Overseers. The farther you push out the harder it gets so using tactics come into play constantly and pushes your abilities to hone a better faction.

AoP is an rts that feels distinctive, which in 2019 is saying something. I play-tested the crap out of this and still have a lot to learn. The unit customization system provides many viable strategies and possible play styles. You can mimic builds and strategies from other rtses and tower defensey games if you wish. Some of your intuition about how rtses work will require adjustment in AoP’s reality.
There is no campaign. The only goal is to kill beefy Overseer units as cheaply and quickly as possible to receive a higher score on the leaderboard. If you know what you’re doing you can defeat the first Overseer in 15 minutes, but getting that first kill is only the lowest tier of real victory. The AI never runs out of resources and cannot be defeated. Enemy units and buildings spawn around your units just outside of your line of sight, and killing them makes the enemy angrier which makes the AI spawn more enemies, leading to a meat grinder of attrition. You can keep pulling up weeds in your yard until your yard is perfect, but you can’t prevent weeds from growing outside your yard. How long can you keep your base alive while hunting Overseers deep in the wilderness?

Galcon 2: Galactic Conquest
If you are looking for an RTS immersive game that has been followed by a dedicated group of gamers through various versions (Galcon, Galcon Fusion, Galcon Labs) going back 15 years… and the current version (Galcon 2) which can be played cross-platform from android and IOS devices as well as PC… And has players on nearly every continent with servers running 24-7… and a multitude of game modes (even a legit poker mode that you can use your galcoins which you earn simply by playing), and a community that has everything (making international friends, drama, strategy discussion, etc)… and is constantly being updated (usually within the game, no new versions to download needed)… this game offers all this and more. It is highly addicting once you get sucked into it. One of the greatest features is the clan based galaxy map wars which last 12 days every 2 weeks. It really is a great, timeless, and unique game that anybody can play (noobs can play co-op mode vs bots, some who have been dedicated to just that for years, but they too contribute to clan based war efforts and love it). Be warned however… there is a lot of drama and fierce competiveness in this game, lol. You can only chat in your clan channel (if you join a clan) until you ever make your first purchase of galcoins, which is worthwhile if you let your vault bonus coins build up first. Galcoins are used to donate to clan, for betting on others who play (or yourself), in poker, or to buy slick cosmetic upgrades like planet skins and a plethora of fantastic ships (opposed to the default triangle ships). If you join a clan, during wars your clan occasionally unveils hidden prize stars and you can use special new ships for free, or buy them forever for pretty cheap. You can also earn galcoins from participating and ranking in tournaments players set up, which also is how you can win wing upgrades to your profile icon. There really is a lot to this game… and the masters in this game are essentially jedis, but everyone can be beat eventually in group based games. In any case, if you give this game a chance, you may find it will be the one game that you’ll still be playing years down the road. And did I mention… it is fun!?

DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME: Please read below to understand what less than 3 hours of gameplay might entail.
This is a fair warning for anyone looking for a relaxed and fun strategy game: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME.
Played for a few hours. Have been harassed 5 or more times with no option to chat with players unless I pay apparently.
1 way chat is a disgusting way to allow players one way harassment with no option to defend ones self.
Furthermore, playing normally means you’re suiciding if you attempt to defend your planets, even if they attack first.

Tabletop Gods
I have had loads of fun with this game! Easy to learn, difficult to master.
This game shines in its simplicity. Top-down tabletop design, three factions, similar units and buildings available between factions – yet still so much variety in how each game can play out.
Some have suggested that the developers add more factions, but I disagree. I think to add more than the three current factions would make it a bit too convoluted. While the units and structures available for each faction are similar, there are enough unique attributes to each that it creates a ton of spontaneity from match to match.

I got this game for free and didn’t know what to expect at all.
To my suprise, this is a very well done game and the best is its multiplayer feature, where several players can hangout and watch 2 of them play a match. After that, the next ones of the group battle eachother. A great way to hangout!
The game is PLAYABLE IN VR and also PLAYABLE IN NON VR!!!! Both modes are pretty balanced, which is really hard to find. So for those VR players out there: This is the game you want to play with your non VR buddys!
