Radio Commander
Overview
Set during the Vietnam War, Radio Commander is a realtime strategy game in which the player assumes the role of a company commander known by the radio handle of Papa Bear who has to accomplish military objectives by ordering two platoons via radio. Alpha Platoon is lead by a proud Texan named Kovacs and Bravo Platoon is lead by a black officer named Coleman with some prior combat experience. Unlike any other military strategy game, Radio Commander expects the player to keep track of platoons and enemy units by marking them on a map and radioing (frequently if desired) to the platoons to pinpoint their coordinates on the map in addition to locations of enemy units in which the platoons may be engaged in battle with.

After roughly 20 hours and earning all the achievements, I feel it’s time to put my look on this game into perspective.
The game is fun if you’re into pseudo-realistic military strategy games, in saying that it’s probably not for everyone, but it is fun.
Imagine a Vietnam era Tom Clancy’s Endwar, with a twist, you can’t see your units.
The three difficulty settings in the game are Story, Commander, and Veteran. The first 2 are fairly easy with the amount of micro and enemy difficulty, and the third kicks it up a notch, which is a very good thing for a game like this. It increases the difficulty to the point where you can’t just skip through radio communications all willy nilly. The combat your troops will get into is much more difficult for them to win on this difficulty mode, and you’re more likely to suffer casualties. Your troops can get lost if you keep them in a sticky situation too long before they pull out of combat. You have to keep your choppers and vehicles fueled up, or risk them crashing and losing the valuable crew they have, and the valuable asset they provide.

Para Bellum
Para Bellum — is a real-time strategy puzzle game that will require a high level of microcontrol from you. The action takes place in an original fantasy universe in which you have to take control of the fate of an entire continent. During the story campaign, you will take one castle after another by storm, step by step freeing your patrimony from the power of the vile but powerful empire of Denatar. Para Bellum is an unusual RTS that uses original mechanics for the genre.
You are the first ruler to unite the scattered kingdoms of western Kiltmer under your rule in order to effectively counter the threat of the elven empire of Denatar. However, the Emperor of the Elves and the most vile of his vassals managed to outwit you: your army was weakened, your brother was killed, and you managed to escape only by a miracle, after a fierce battle for the capital. Many years have passed, and finally you have the opportunity to return what is yours by right, recapture every fortress of western Kiltmer and end the rule of the cunning elves!
Having examined the sketch of the fortress walls from your scouts, having analyzed the enemy’s defenses, you lined up your army in the correct formation, putting each troop in its place. All troops have special abilities and their own specialization. It is necessary to correctly combine units with their abilities to overcome the enemy’s defense.
However, it doesn’t end there! You have to personally lead the assault, opening up the potential of each troop on each of the five attacking lines simultaneously. Cover defenseless soldiers with shields, dodge the devastating shots of enemy ballistae, counteract the attacks of the besieged, light torches in the darkness and In the end, break through the gates of the coveted castle with successive blows of your rams!
The game sets certain conditions at the stage of army formation. You are free to choose the troops and their formation by yourself. To line up a turtle bristling with shields so that no enemy arrow reaches the target, or opposite, to shower the defenders with heavy fire of their own arrows, so that they are afraid to even look towards your impending army - the choice is yours! Most importantly, do not forget that to counter the enemy’s defenses on each of the attacking lines, you need to select the appropriate units in your own army.
-
Para Bellum is characterized by high dynamics of what is happening, any mistake or delay can cost you dearly.
-
You will need to collect a unique army, to successfully complete the level. This feature turns the preparatory assault phase into a puzzle.
-
There are three sets of challenges for each level, differing in their complexity. Maximum difficulty will require you to concentrate and use all units competently.
-
The army formation depends on your playing style.
-
Many interesting and varied squads and mini-games associated with them.
-
Colorful locations and formidable fortresses.

CLASSIC TANKS 2020 is a Game Maker Studio asset/template flip. Gameplay consists of driving a little tank around a 2D top down retro pixel arena and killing the other tank in it and asking what went wrong with your life that you’re playing asset flip garbage.
I can’t begin to describe just how deplorably low the quality of this junk is. This asset flip has made gaming worse for everyone, even the people (almost everyone) that never played it. The human race is forever diminished by the existence of this rubbish.

Escape from Tatris
This game is unironically better than Escape From Tarkov, the game it is inspired by. This game has fixed 100s of the glitches of original tarkov. Hackers? Basically none, I seriously would pay money equivalent to the EOD edition. It has a great inventory system. Of course it has very little items, but of course this is for balance. After playing for only 14 minutes I have experienced only positive things. Those minutes were pure bliss. My only problem with this game is that it is free, if the developer were to add a donation box I would surely do so.

The combination of two russian classics definitely add up to an experience no gamer should miss. the innovative gameplay and groundbreaking mechanics create a game that has perfected the fine balance of uniqueness and originality with simplicity and overall fun, an impressive feat for how different this title is from other mainstream AAA games. While the game itself is captivating and will have you playing for hours on end, this doesnt subtract from the other aspects such as the stunning visuals and graphics and absolutely gorgeous soundtrack. The game is a well rounded masterpiece that covers all the essential bases of a good game, while remaining unique and not being chained by traditional game design, as it riskily tries mechanics and aspects that humanity has never seen in a video game before. The most significant part however is the price: Escape From Tatris is free. For a piece of art so perfect that one could mistake it for on of Gods own creations, a price tag of 0 is really the cherry on top of this delicious cake of a videogame. Download Escape From Tatris now, and i can bet my own life that you will not regret it.

Steam revolution VR
First Impressions … This game is actually a fairly substantial for an indie game at 12 GB+ in size. The game can be played seated in VR. The controls on the my Oculus Quest VR 2 platform could do with a little work, but the game was playable, albeit with a few glitches here and there.
The game currently consists of story based levels which unlock sequentially as you progress through the game. You begin in a nicely rendered decaying city in an alternate WWII steampunk style setting. Mission one sees you man an AA gun position at the rear of the escaping train to try and down enemy bombers, fighters and zeppelins. Making good use of VR you use trunnion wheels etc to align the guns and tackle the airborne threats.

The name of the title and the subject in this game was very intriguing to me before I dive in. But, I didn’t like it at all. The visuals are uggly. VR contoller interaction mechanics are glitchy and tiring. The overall experience really bad to play it in VR. I don’t recommend as such even though there seems to be a big effort on its content and its low price.

WeaponizedChess
New Version Available 2/12/18:Windows, fully animated graphics, online multiplayer with your Steam Friends
Weaponized Chess = chess + weapons
WeaponizedChess is like regular chess but in 3-D with weapons and stealth.
WeaponizedChess is derived from regular chess but makes many changes. It adds weapons, three-dimensionality, and tunable stealth. It is a more modern version of chess. Old chess is about knights capturing kings. Modern war is not like that at all. WeaponizedChess is about stealthy, weapon-armed pieces contending on a modern battlefield. Have no fear, the basic nature of chess is retained: black-and-white checkerboard, one side moves then the other, defeating the enemy king is still the goal.
WeaponizedChess is also an experiment in creating a game where a human player will always have an advantage over the artificial-intelligence player. This is achieved by deliberately and radically increasing the exponential burden of a computer player but in a way that any human can naturally handle. Humans will always be better guessers than computers and stealth (and other features of the game) ensheathe this nature into the game. You don’t like playing chess by mail or email remotely with someone because you fear they may cheat (get advice from a chess-playing computer program)? Play this game instead. Tired of playing chess against people who have spent a lot of time building up book knowledge about chess? Play this game instead.
WeaponizedChess has an integrated board editor, a type of game notation which describes a game, a set of known popular color themes, and a set of pre-defined starting boards.
WeaponizedChess is a game for people played chess in the past but got bored with it. Did you ever look at your present position during a regular chess game and wish you could move two pieces instead of just one? In WeaponizedChess you can often move more than 1 of your pieces during your turn.
Modern conflict is heavily dependent on military technology. In WeaponizedChess there are choppers, jets, tanks, submarines, destroyers, and combat engineers whose characteristics have been translated to a chess board. Low-observable assets play a deadly game of cat and mouse with an opponent. Infantrymen use jump-packs to fly over the battlefield. Combat scuba invisibly travels under the surface to attack.
There are 2 versions available on Steam. In the Linux/SteamOS version you play against a computer opponent or against another human. Human versus human play requires both players be in the same physical room and share the computer to make moves. This version of WeaponizedChess does not provide online multi-player matchmaking. Note that a typical AI for a regular chess game is comparatively better because an army of researchers and programmers have been working for decades to achieve this result. The 2nd, newer version runs on Windows, provides fully-animated computer graphics, and allows you play a game online with your Steam friends. This version does NOT provide a computer opponent. There is only 1 package for sale. When you buy this package you get both the Windows version and the Linux/SteamOS version. If you have 45 Gigabytes and 45 minutes available you can put Linux on your Windows PC and get both the online multiplayer and AI opponent on one computer!
You might wonder “Why should I want to buy this game?” Curiosity. One reason might be because you would be interested in seeing what regular chess would be like if it was changed to include weapons. In this game you can change options to make the board pieces move very much like regular chess pieces but they will also be able to use weapons. There are many other ways to modify the game but it would take too much text to describe them all. After you modify how you want the game to play you can save your preferences. You can set the game to automatically load your preferences whenever the game starts. You can also modify and save to your preferences for how you want the game to look as opposed to how it plays. There are many videos showing what this game looks like (on YouTube) but in this Steam version there are two modifications to how the game looks. Instead of the 2 piece sets shown in the videos and web-viewable game art there are now 13 piece sets available. Also you can use a set of known “popular” color themes to change the colors of the game board and game pieces.
The AI works better if you use an i7. Both versions are strictly 64 bit. Development for this version was strictly limited to Ubuntu (the base OS for Steam development). It has been tested to run on Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 15.10. On a Steam console it is automatically hardware-accelerated. It runs in Big Picture Mode and in Desktop Mode. Use either the mouse or controller in those environments. The Windows version has been tested on Windows 10 and Windows 7.
This version of WeaponizedChess is more interested in the game being clearly displayable than in the game graphics being a spectacular example of computer animation. Those who are only interested in a game where the graphics are pure eye candy should play some other game. This game is about thinking. It is not about looking. This game is fun because you use your mind to see the pieces, to see all the possibilities. Chess has always been like that. The simple-geometric set of pieces will always be drawn quickly and clearly even if hardware acceleration is not available.
The Steam overlay cannot be used in the Linux/SteamOS version. The overlay IS present and available in the Windows vesion.
This game has been translated to many languages. The user can change the language displayed during game usage and read documentation in many languages. The game can be controlled using: English, German, Spanish, Dutch, French, Greek, Bulgarian, Turkish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, Polish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Czech, Romanian, Italian, Thai, Portuguese.
To change the display language (the language in which the commands are printed and which you read while playing the game) to English, click File- Change To Which Language. Then select English. To make this change permanent so that the game always boots to English, first click Play Change- Save Present Settings as User Preferences. This causes any changes you have made (including the change you just made to English) to be the new User Preferences. Second, click Play Change- Toggle At Start Use User-Preferences/Game-Defaults. Assuming you had not already set this toggle to user preferences, this will now cause the game to boot (whenever you DO boot) to your user preferences (and display commands in English). WeaponizedChess does not use, rely, depend on or care about your present locale. You don’t have to have locales set up on your Linux, you do not need your locale already set to your preferred language.
