ICBM
ICBM is a great way to kill an hour, along with a few hundred million people. It’s got a bit of a learning curve to it but it’s simple enough that you can pick most of it up in 2 or 3 games.
What I find interesting (and a little terrifying) about ICBM is how nothing is permanent and how the game always keeps you at the edge of your seat, because much like a real nuclear war, you could find yourself and everything you’ve built being vaporized by thermonuclear weapons at a moment’s notice. If you build an airbase, the enemy can nuke that. If you build missile silos, the enemy can nuke that. If you build submarines, the enemy nuke that. The game effectively works out to be a scramble between you and your enemies as you try to keep tabs on where they’re keeping their city-melting goodies, as well as protecting your own, either by keeping them well-hidden, or building enough defences that the enemy can’t smash through them until you’ve already turned their continent into a giant radioactive parking lot. Then there’s also the question of “Should I attack first or is that going to end horribly for me and 85% of my country’s population”, which then promptly leads to the question of “But If I don’t do anything, are all my cities going to be on fire in 5 minutes” which means you’re always guessing, or always trying to find out.

I had to go back and change my original positive review to inform you not to buy this. Multiplayer community is dead and its been less than a month since the game lauched.
Game already has rampant hacking which ruins the game for everyone. Not to mention that the actual game itself is not really that fun after a few games.
Matches are 95% build up and 4% figuiring out who to attack and 1% fun combat. Most games you’ll build up for 35mins to literally not be able to use a single one of your nukes due to the game ending due to nuclear contamination via a massive barrage two guys release at once and even if you launched right then your nukes would not hit the ground before their nukes end the game.

Too Many Humans
Too Many Humans is a Real Time Strategy game, but instead of controlling the army, or a private security force as is often the case in such games, this time you are controlling zombies! Sounds good right!
Let’s take a quick look at the official story.
“You are Phthisis, the God of pestilence, decay and death. Humanity has degraded too far into greed and is causing irreversible damage to Gaia; your dear sister, and their planet. Something has to be done. But like every god, you have rules (omnipotence gets boring otherwise): you are not allowed to directly kill humans. But you can raise them back from the dead. And if the living ones die because of this… Eh shrug.

Too Many Humans is an RTS where you are Pthisis, the God of Decay who is on Earth to eradicate mankind with your zombie army but only because Humanity has exploited the Earth, one another and everything else they could get their greedy hands on. And you’re here to end this awful reign with questionable methods that are for the benefit of the planet, and everything else except maybe for mankind.

Zombie Simulator
I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this game - especially given it’s low price. I played with the Steam Controller and found the partial support a little frustrating at times (I switched back to keyboard for a couple of precision jumps) but overall it didn’t really impact the gameplay. The graphics are good enough for what the game is and the swarming of the zombie horde is very nice. Of course, it would be nice to have more than twelve levels but for £0.79 who can complain - the levels that are there have some nice variations on the basic theme. I like it. I like it a lot. It’s a nice way to unwind if you have a few minutes to spare and some tensions to release ;)

In summary, I can’t recommend Zombie Simulator, it’s a good concept that’s weighed down by overly simplified gameplay and repetitive objectives. It lacks challenge, engagement, and fun - with no replayability, there’s little reason to pick it up.

Ardarium
nice world/weather/civ simulator.
Enjoyable to just watch
– Real player with 47.4 hrs in game
For a couple of dollars it’s a worthwhile experience. Just turn it on and let it go while you are working or doing something else and occasionally note how the world is changing.
I would like to see some more options to adjust the frequency of events or even turn some of them off, but even without them it’s fairly entertaining.
Quick warning: If you set the tiles to 40x40 it can take a toll on your frame rate. If that bothers you for this type of game (slow panning, laggy gameplay, etc.) you’ll want to keep it below 900 tiles^2

Shadows of Forbidden Gods
TLDR - Great, unique Lovecraftian turn-based grand strategy game.
The player takes on the mantle of one of multiple eldritch gods with different play styles, bent on bringing their particular brand of apocalypse. The first unlocked god is the most simple - She Who Will Feast, a giant snake that focuses on corrupting heroes and rulers through “enshadowing” them. She starts weak, without a real worldly presence, before awakening, destroying civilised lands and ultimately eating the world. Other gods include Iastur, the Laughing King who focuses on spreading madness to all, Vinerva a god representing nature’s bounties but with a serious catch, Mammon (unreleased at time of writing) who offers great material wealth for the small price of eating people and Ophanim (unreleased at the time of writing) who offers mankind salvation from the aforementioned enshadowment but at the cost of their autonomy.

My plan to destroy the world was foiled but its okay because I can change the chosen one’s name to Ligma Balls as a final act of primordial malice

Gentle Club
Gentle Club is a fighting simulator inspired by Hollywood movies, distinguished by the choreographed stunts the players perform while fighting in dynamic and destructible environments.
Players will be able to interact with the environment (use a broken bottle to slice the opponent, break the window of an airplane and depressurize the cabin, throw any kind of objects on the opponent).
At the end of the fight, the players would have the opportunity to see the scene again in the form of an action scene.
