Majesty Gold HD

Majesty Gold HD

Majesty is a beloved childhood game of mine. Which I originally received as the pack in during Kellog’s Nutrigrain’s video game pack around 2001 or 2002.

The game is a hybird RTS / Godsim originally released in 2000 with it’s main innovation being the independent charather AI.

The player can directly control the construction of buildings, as normal for the genre, but all of the “heros” move on their own and cannot be given orders. Instead, they all have behaviour patterns based on their class, which lets them simulate a personality. Warriors like to hunt monsters, Rangers like to explore, and Monks like to act as hotel inspectors, wandering from inn to inn.

Majesty Gold HD is an unusual game with an unusual history.

While it’s billed as a Fantasy Kingdom Sim, Majesty has most of the trappings of a conventional RTS. However, it does stray from RTS convention in one major aspect and that was enough for its developer, Cyberlore Studios, to have considerable difficulty finding a publisher even during the great RTS glut of the 90s.

To fully appreciate Majesty, you need to talk about RTSes in general. Now, the term Real-Time Strategy itself is a little generic – Crusader Kings II, for instance, is real-time and it is a strategy game but no one would confuse it for an RTS. When gamers use the term, they’re referring to very specific types of games – games like Blizzard’s Warcraft II and Westwood’s Command & Conquer, the two titles released in 1995 that inspired the RTS glut.

LandCombat:Ren

LandCombat:Ren

It’s a strategy game that focuses on ground war.

[Worldview]

The continental Tiracian has the Terra Empire and the National Union of Ren(Aron, Baekra, Cheollok, and Zili) is at odds with each other. The Continental War, which broke out as a result of the confrontation between the two camps, has decimated the power of all nations.

It served as an opportunity to make. The Royal Government of the Kingdom of ‘Baekra’ prevented the invasion of the Terra Empire in the Continental War.

It has consumed a great deal of financial and military power and has thus far been unable to exert complete control over the entire country. Each region and city in the kingdom of ‘Baekra’ is still trying to survive.

[Game Introduction]

Players start in a specific area, collect resources, produce a variety of units (trams, vehicles, etc.) and recruit heroes.

‘Unit Troops’ consisting of units and heroes are used to defend friendly forces and bases, or to expand friendly forces, with hostile forces in the region and unmanned tanks (UGVs).

Do not avoid battle. It gradually expands its power by occupying bases in other regions and forms a united kingdom. When the time is ripe, we will conquer the Terra Empire.

We welcome peace on a unified continent.

Circle Empires Rivals

Circle Empires Rivals

Circle Empires: Rivals is the multiplayer successor to Circle Empires. At its core, Circle Empires Rivals is a 10-25 minute long real time strategy game. Despite the short game length, it has quite a lot of content and depth, and easily gets a strong recommendation given its moderate to low price point.

At the time of writing this review, the game has 7 different game modes, 26 commanders with unique army compositions and bonuses, 6 difficulty settings, 5 different map sizes, and within the various game modes (such as stop the army and monster hunt) there are also different scenario selections available. The different game modes range from very easy to very difficult, and even with 4 people working together in a co-op game certain modes like Defend the Castle mode is extremely difficult on even moderate difficulty settings, so if you like a PvE challenge, the game has this available.

Must buy for every RTS fan and people who would like to experience something unique with alot of variety.

You can play this game on easy mode or incredible challenging. There are a lot of game modes and coop makes alot of fun too. The game is also very well made no bugs and a great interface!

Got 32hours on the first one and with this game I expect getting closer to 100+ hours for only 8-12 euro you got great value.

If you want to play this coop, but don´t have someone to play it with, I am always looking for people to play it with, since it just makes even more fun in coop-mode.

Dungeon Overseer

Dungeon Overseer

Promising early access, inspired by the Dungeon Overlord Browsergame.

Currently there are very few features and mechanics, but my hopes are high the devs have enough ideas and skill to improve the game. 6 Months until 1.0 release is VERY ambitious considering the current state of the game.

I just hope they will implement more mechanics to:

  • AI

  • Raiding (Overworld)

  • Mining

  • Minions (Skills)

  • Multiplayer

  • Stability of the game

Hex Commander: Fantasy Heroes

Hex Commander: Fantasy Heroes

First of all some critics claim that this is a pay to win which simply is not true. You’ll get more resources than you need to complete it just by playing it (you really do not need to spend any money on it unless you want to support the devs). This is one of those rare games that really lives up to it’s 5/5 rating.

True value 10-15 £.

Although the size of the battles are mostly small to mini this is a true contender for best game of the decade. I’ve played it back to back, all the campaigns and every scenario, over and over again. It is that good!

Real player with 1484.6 hrs in game

Great little game if you like turn based games.

No need to spend any cash either which is a bonus.

You can achieve highest levels on mage and alchemy very quickly just by playing the easy levels.

Major in magic and seige and do the hard levels to raise them to full rank.

Do the levels on extreme and you can have full skills to fight final boss.

And not a penny spent, took me a week to finish the game and very enjoyable it was too.

Now don’t get me wrong, not everyone’s a grinder, so please free to support the effort put into this game by purchasing some gems.

Girls' civilization 2

Before the game launched I had it on my wish-list since it was announced, When the game first launched I tried the Demo, the game used to drop you in the ocean with a chest and it was hard to pick everything up. it was very frustrating that it put me off from buying the game. I tried the Demo again today after it updated, now you start the game locked up. I like the game now and It finally got my interest to buy it. some of the things you can do in the game is better then I hoped for when I first heard about the game.

Fun but optimised by drunk monkeys.

the game itself can be pretty fun, funny a times too when you forget the button to interact and end up punching someone, only to end up on the receiving end of a musket volley.

stuff like having to manage your ammo supplies by adding bullets to magazines or trying not to starve to death gave it a surprising bit of difficulty.

but all this is under one big issue, performance, more specifically the morphing blurs when you move. it isnt at all bad when playing desktop mode but it makes playing in VR a bit of a challenge.

Western Sigil

Western Sigil

Western Sigil is a tower defense game in which you take on the role of the sheriff’s son, tasked with maintaining peace in the town of Wadeville. Idyll will not last too long since a dangerous plague has broken into the city walls and your mission is to find its source and stop the rot from spreading.

NOTHING UNITES HUMANS LIKE A COMMON ENEMY

Recruit cowboys, Indians, National Guard soldiers, Mexicans or even bandits - everyone, regardless of their political views, wants the end of the ugly plague.

Or Do they?

BE SMART

Strategically deploy your forces on the map and set up turrets. Hire new members and gain experience to develop your units. Throw away their rusty guns and gear them up with new weapons to make your team even more powerful. Set ambushes to weaken your foes and find out who’s the cause of the overwhelming havoc.

APPROACH BEASTS OF ALL POSSIBLE LEGENDS AND TALES

Fight orcs, demons, skeletons, goblins, trolls, forest creatures and even animals like wolves or bears. The variety of monsters you will encounter in-game is a good material for a separate bestiary book, a weird one, that is.

FEELS LIKE A MAGIC

The task is made difficult by the fact that there was some kind of strange magic involved in all this. To remove the unfortunate spell, you must find all the mysterious sigils and close the portal leading to another dimension, the very home of awful creatures disrupting the peace in Wadeville.

FEATURES:

  • Protect your lands in this unique tower defense & resource management game sprinkled with a spicy pinch of strategy.

  • Get in the ranks with cowboys, Indians, soldiers, local Mexicans or bandits.

  • Distribute the units on the map properly - their location determines their strength.

  • Hire new members to boost your performance on the battlefield.

  • Gain experience and develop your units by equipping them with new, shiny weapons.

  • Set ambushes and place standard and premium turrets to protect every single acre of Wadeville.

Astonia Resurgence

Astonia Resurgence

Astonia Resurgence is a great version of the old school Astonia 3 MMORPG.

For new players: it is an older game, so visually it might not be as appealing as some 4k games you can play. Howver it has unique leveling and stat systems that make it pretty enjoyable if given the chance. Stick around a few hours and you’ll find it’s quite fun. I still hop on old runescape for the sheer fun, not for the visual perfections.

As an old school player there are Some Nice Quality of life updates from the original such as su/gu and most things you pick up going directly into inventory, all the orbs( 10-RD99) now being located in an area in Aston. (Running orb alts used to be a pain).

Real player with 1142.1 hrs in game

First of all I must preface that this game is a revamped version of a 30 year old game and through the decades there have been several attempts from other servers to bring it back to life.

Personally this is hands down the best version released to date. OW Astonia was a grind, and is not for most people since fighting and movement aren’t in 3D and there’s not really button mashing like some of the newer RPGs. That being said there are a lot of improvements to quality of life that have already been implemented since release and surpass other servers by leaps and bounds. I really appreciate the community and it does seem to be growing, a mix of knowledgeable OW players with new ones coming on. Developers are constantly adding Quality Of Life/New updates on a timely and consistent manner and any issues are quickly resolved. Suggestions are taken into consideration and implemented. I’d highly recommend joining the discord server as well as there is a lot of useful information for new players already pinned.
