Castle Constructor
This game is way too addictive weirdly enough, there’s already so many things in the game (as of posting this it isn’t fully released) you can almost never get bored, after loading it up for the first time I played 8 hours straight of the game!

great little game, with lots of potential, a little buggy when it comes to the enemy ai and spawning but otherwise amazing. Hexagons are just perfect for star fortress fun

Lords of the Shattered Kingdom
I’m a PVE type player. I don’t enjoy playing against other players, because almost always there is someone better than me just around the corner. And I’d rather enjoy fighting the environment.
I’m 49 hours into this game, still happily grinding away. For those that played the Heroes of Might and Magic games, the base building games, this is close to it. Except more detailed in the army management/equiping. The graphics are rather basic, but I can see that being fixed easily as they go.
For the current $5 cost of the game, it’s well worth it. And as the special currency is currently set, that’s not an issue, though I understand that will change.

Rising Lords
I have played this game for 100+hours is really fun to play against a friend, it’s turned based game BUT all turns happen at the same time, very nice feat I must say.
I don’t need to wait for my friend to do his turn since he does it at the same time and once both clicked end turn all moves will be done at the same time.
It’s a lot like Lords of Realm 2 which was easily one of the best games from the 90s.
You have to manage your kingdom a lot more then the regular games. Here you don’t only have happiness and tax but also the health and the seasons to think about. Plant harvest in the winter or your kingdom will starve later in the year(can also breed sheeps,cows or horses for diffrent effects). Your manpower for the army is also taken directly from the peasants that works for you so you want to make sure the peasants are in a good health so it’s plenty of workers and soldiers avaible for you.

Although it has many flaws, Rising lords is the first game that I am really into it that I am going write my first ever review.
Let’s start with what the game is about. This is a turn based game which focuses on building your army and expands your realm. Your objective is to conquer the enemy lands or to reach a certain amount of money to win. It has many similarities with games like Crusader kings, Civilization. If you like these games, you’re probably also into this. However in this game, the main difference is the combat. Your army can have a maximum of 7 pieces of different troops which you have raised during your turns in the world. When entering combat, your pieces will fight the enemy’s ones, and who ever loses all the pieces or their’s morale reaches zero will lose. I would saying the combat in this game is a lot like playing chess. Each type of your troops can have different strengths and weaknesses, and you try your best to to move them in the best possible way. In additions, the combat is further complimented by the cards system, which you can play to further your advantages.

To Battle!: Hell’s Crusade
I thoroughly enjoyed this game - and yes, the humor is sophomoric and the voice acting is tongue-in-cheek, but it just works for me. It’s an old-school general’s type game from the SSI era and as everyone else has already said, in line with the modern Fantasy General.
More importantly, I think the strategic design is really well thought out - the units each have their niche but aren’t hobbled by hyper-specialization. And while the maps are static, and prior map-knowledge is extremely advantageous, it also opens up the pursuit of battle perfection.

Disclaimer: I’ve been a beta tester and I know the developers personally. But….
Here’s my review:
I’ve played HC now for probably several hundred hours (most of that was in beta). The campaigns aren’t suuuuper long, but somehow I just enjoy playing them over and over because it always goes a little different each time I do. Like I can beat all of the missions now, but I cant ever do it as well as I want to. So I just keep trying! lol
The tactical campaign is more kind of old school in that you’ll probably have to restart missions. I do anyway. It’s kind of like chess cause you really have to plan ahead. The adventure campaign starts out easier so it may be better for your first playthrough, but about half way through it starts getting pretty challenging.

Archaid
This is a game about reaching a particular flow state that feels like it could be preparation for occult undertakings. I have not played very long and the game is very much in early access, but what I have played has felt like slowly deciphering an alien language. Gradually, over successive minutes, I began trying to maintain a model of a three dimensional chart of graphemes in my head. I really liked that tension of gradually being able to intuit what moves would work as I played, rather than just going through trial and error or depending entirely on the visual clues to work very slowly towards scoring combinations.

King’s Bounty II
I love all King’s Bounties, - I get what I expect from it - a fairy-tale immersion, it lives up to its unique style, combining wits and its “kingsbounty-specific” sence of humor and sense of heroism.
Tactical combat part requires chess-like solutions, devs did definitely put their time into it, it surely is a step forward.
No disturbing bugs nor glitches so far my thorough exploration (well, two times being “stuck in the meshes” no one can avoid (but some games do wisely provide an “UNSTUCK”-hotkey : )), first item in your inventory being unaccessible by mouse, - kbd only, - I can live with this and they’ll surely fix a minor thing like this, - it’s rather too few complanits).

This is my first review, but I felt I have to write this because of my disappointment.
This game would be a decent title, if it were not a sequel to the Kings Bounty franchise. Even as a spin off, but thats not the case. This game is called King’s Bounty 2 but it has so many things missing from the series.
First of all: this game offers ZERO replay value. There are no random armies to fight with. Thats right, every fight will be the same regardless of your playthrough.
There are no random items on the map except the junk which literally have no use other than selling them. No random armies to choose from: you will get the same units from the same vendors every game.

WARTILE
Edit: I’ve won the game and it is pretty fun. The key factor to realize is that the archer is the most important character using the volley card. Once you get used to the game I really like the concept but it was challenging to mentally adjust to the different style of game (cool down vs turn based) coming from the turn based world. Using the slow down feature is essential until you get up to speed. On the higher levels it is absolutely critical to use the slow down feature to dodge tough opponents as them attack.

Tabletop quest for the Sagas
Wartile is a strategy game allowing the player to take command of a Norse warband on a quest to save their land from a mysterious plague. Developed by a very aptly named danish studio PlaywoodProject, the game plays as a miniature wargame. Each character in Wartile is represented by a wooden figurine, battling their way across adorably detailed dioramas. While the game had visibly limited resources to work with, the developers have fully committed what they had towards an idea of tabletop game brought to life. An idea, in my book, they firmly delivered upon.

Bastard
Loving the Eisenwald games it’s a shame that each one gets emptier and less polished. Now here we have the latest with so muchb potential, like all the worlds, going to waste with lack of content and an unfinished atmosphere. You’d think they would be going in the toher direction as the Eisenwald world is rich with potential. Both gameplay and atmosphere has the making of a many series long term franchise and yet each one gets smaller and more of a tease. I won’t give this a Negative due to getting it on sale, it’s like someone bringing you just a piece of cake and taking the rest home with them leaving you hungry and wondering why they came by at all?..lol It isn’t bad, it’s isnt technically problematic, I personally haven’t had any bad issues, it’s just so lazy on the content side. Come on guys (The devlopers), show these games some love and make them real and full and worthy of their potential.

Ok this may look like LOE but it’s not, that doesnt mean that I don’t love this game as much as I love Legends of Eisenwald (LOE). It has a different message and story to convey and i do appreciate the story and message. I would love to thank the developer for once again providing a platform to slow me down and read and think about the story they are telling. At minimum you will get 2 fulll playthroughs of this game. Keep up the good work and I will keep on buying. If you did like this game then please, please do yourslef a favour and purchase LOE you will get many, many hours of play out of it.
