Legends of Callasia
Hail lords and Ladies
This game is amazing and I encourage you all to install the demo play through the campaigns and then get in on some multiplayer fun.
At first glimse it looks and feels mostly like playing Risk with more depth. At first the learning curve may appear to be overwhelming but trust me if you take the time to play through the free demo you will soon get the jist of things fairly fast.
There is alot of really good things to say about this game and its definately a step forward for those strategy game lovers who are wanting something casual but competitive at the same time.

With some games, we tend to concentrate on all sorts of factors that seem important, and overlook the one that’s the most important of all - fun! This game is just great fun to play! I kind of enjoyed the free version, and figured it was worth the punt at what’s a pretty reasonable price. I have quite a few digital board games in my library so I was just expecting this to be another to come back to from time to time, but I was pleasantly surprised that it immediately became my new favourite game.

Godking: Master of Rituals
Not as good as Dominions but a solid 7/10:
It is Dominions very/semi-light with a slight QoL upgrade.

Yeah ok. It is more about kill kill kill than any really deep strategic level of gameplay.
Play every faction once against the AI then your next step to get anything else out of the game is multiplayer. This is where I think it would shine. Because, vs AI, all you are doing is figuring out which units to stack and pump them out of your city til you have a death stack and go stomp the capitals.

Well, three hours in this is more than enough time for me to tell that I’m going to have a blast with this game. yes, it’s no big secret that it’s inspired by Conquest of Elysium 4 and it’s nowhere near as deep or as satisfying as that game. But CoE4 really is on the absolute verge of what I’m willing to tolerate graphics-wise when it comes to playing games. This game has much of what makes CoE4 great but it also looks mych better.
At the time of posting, there are only a few factions but they’re different from each other, just like CoE’s factions are different. This game has 3D models of the units and they are really well done so it’s a mssive upgrade in the visual department over CoE. But it means that it will require much more work to create the models and animate them properly on the battlefield that it would to add a new faction to CoE, especially as that title shares a lot of artwork from Dominions.

Lost Technology
I suggest you read game’s store description first before reading this (I often don’t do it myself), it’s pretty informative regarding basic game process.
There are 4(5) gamemodes:
Prologue: Birth - basically a story mode where you get text based events by capturing territories or fulfilling specific conditions. Writing is pretty interesting for a doujin game, I find Reinald scenario in particular pretty amusing, you don’t see endings like that every day. You can also unlock new characters or their stronger versions for random mode by completing certain scenarios.

Definitely a bit of a niche title that is not without its flaws. Basically it is a turn-based overworld with interconnected nodes representing fields of battle which you can control for income, and real-time battles whenever those nodes are contested. So, kind of like Total War but with over-the-top magical abilities for the anime generals. I personally enjoy it very much despite its myriad of flaws. The game also has a wonderful selection of music that for me never grew stale.
If you pick it up, I strongly recommend reading a community guide for gameplay tips like below:

Swords and Sandals Crusader Redux
I’ve played all the version of Swords and Sandals.
I like the franchise.
I also, suggested to some friends to buy the “Swords & Sandals Crusader Redux”
But there are major issues I have with the game, regardless of the bugs.
As I always say, bugs can be corrected, but fundamentals always remain.
My problems are mainly with the fundamentals that drive the game, if it makes any sense…
This review is more about addressing the fundamental issues I have with how the game operates and the design of it’s mechanics - most of all, rather than a suggestion not to buy the game. Because if you don’t have any problems with the issues ill state, then certainly go ahead and buy the game.

I played this on version 1.0.5C so some of the bugs or rng stuff(I know Oliver - [game maker] must have add some of these) or locked features the game had to offer are no more. Just giving it a note.
SaS Crusader Redux - I never though any of the future Oliver’s games could beat my all-time favourite SaS2ER classic, but this one did it! It’s greatest SaS game to me so far, and I can’t wait to play every other game mode it has to offer in the future!
This game solves all the frustating problems the original Crusader had. One really good thing to say about this game to compare it to the original Crusader, Pirates, and maybe some other SaS games is that it’s totally not RNG(randomness) based, it truly feels like a strategy game to me, or just a game where simply human skill matters and is on top, not your luck, a good example to show that, is that I managed to win at #1st place all the knights tournaments in a row that I had during the campaign mode. This is fantastic!

Warlike
This is a delightful little indie game. It’s focused and simple, but works in what it wants to accomplish. I bought because I’m old as the mountains and it made me remember playing the ancient Brotherbund Sun Tzu’s Art of War. It did scratch that itch and added some other elements from old school gaming that I really liked.
The reviews saying it’s unbalanced are kind of wrong and also not getting the point. Differently good leader picks is how you set the difficulty, but since this is organic and not spelled out a lot of gamers seem to miss what it actually does. The units are not terribly imbalanced either. Skeleton archer do a lot of damage, but you can deal with them if you’ve made proper strategic choices. Nor is this an RNG fest (I hate those kind of games, see my review of The Darkest Dungeon if you want to see me being salty about such nonsense). It is stately and predictable, you weighs risk vs reward and get to think a little bit about your next few moves. Old school indeed.

A well-rounded and entertaining game, especially considering the price. Everything runs super-smoothly and I am yet to see a bug. You need to think ahead in this game as selling or using up too many reinforcements before a major battle can cause you to die. Overall, I really like the gameplay.
There are still some things that could be ironed out in future patches, like unit balancing and gold gain, but this is IMO pretty minor, and I have no doubts in the dev’s dilligence. Game is otherwise solid.
