Charterstone: Digital Edition
Pretty darn nice implementation of the board game. I have played the campaign once in real life :) I have finished one campaign with this program against 5 AI opponents. My second campaign got really wonky screwing up rules and end of game choices. I think I might have hit some less major bugs in my first campaign, but I don’t know if I just wasn’t paying enough attention or wasn’t clear on various rules.
Sooo, It is good and it is fun. The developers are already patching the game that was obviously released a bit too soon. But they ARE patching.

Halfway in the campaign. and while somethings are nice it is a mediocre worker placement game as you are building the worker placement yourself…
this happens by what is available to you and since you can’t choose specific buildings it is a hit or miss.
SO my main issue is that there isn’t a way to build your own custom map. Or at least i can’t find it. That would have been fun tinkering with it and see if you can outdo some of the maps allready in there. Can’t believe the bottom one was approved. that was just no fun. have to test the others.

Love this game, but wish development would go a bit faster…
Edit December 2020:
Seems like they gave up on this game, no news in 18 months, shame :(
Not worth the €15 but still a fun game

I backed this game on Kickstarter and had access to the games beta before its full release and Inhave to say, this game is really fun. It’s a fantastic virtual board game of sorts that requires a lot of strategy and is incredibly competitive. There are multiple ways to play the game and earn victory points, allowing you to play the game how you want. The AI for this game are well programmed and are an adequate challenge if you’re playing by yourself or you can play this with friends and compete against each other. Overall it’s a very fun board game/party game and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Space Debris
This is a great party game for rock-blasting retro space fun. I love the drop in/drop out feature and the massive number of gamepads supported.
There’s also a bit more to it than you might expect:
Several ships to choose from, each with their own unique style
Bring dead allies back to life
Collect space dust to power up
Collect debris from destroyed alien ships to unlock new ships and upgrades
Play it now! you know you want to.

Concordia: Digital Edition
Great electronic version of the game. There are options that make scoring easier to visualize during the game. The UI allows take-backs before finalizing an action, which is also very helpful. Realtime games would be a great update.

It’s really addicting. I only play vs AI but it’s just a joy and with my novice experience every game feels close. I would recommend turning off visible scoring to mimic the board game and not make bad decisions looking at short vs long game.
UI could be improved a little bit for me to easily see what I have (housing resource count) at a glance, the various overlays don’t quite do it for me. Maybe there is a better way and I’m just too new.
Music is great though I wish there were some more varied tracks instead of what feels like the long “one” song built in.

Noah
Seeing the incoming dark clouds, some seek shelter and others build an ark. Step into the pre-apocalyptic world as Noah and lead the bravest project of ancient times! Gather the required resources to build a ship able to withstand the diversity of Earth’s fauna on its deck.
Don’t forget the dove though, without her the voyage might take forever!
The rainstorm is close, and after all, you must save at least a pair of each species.
Animals are just animals, and they can get quite unbearable… they spread around the world and don’t want to listen - bah, it might come to you carrying them around on your own back!
Once you’re done with that, don’t forget to pack the supplies. Otherwise… you know…
Problems with livestock and the race to beat the clock are not the only concerns you’ll face.
You’re just starting out with this praiseworthy quest and some wicked folks are already looking forward to your demise. Fight them without batting an eye - this time it doesn’t count as a sin!
If you think building the Ark is not something you’ll manage on your own, bring your friends along!
Together you’ll be able to wrap it all up much quicker, as well as make it easier to defend the floating zoo when a mass attack happens. No worries - there’s plenty of work to do even for four of you!
Ship construction and saving animal species are probably not the easiest activities, as well as being the captain during the final voyage. In the end, however, the rain will stop. Looking out for the land, you’ll realize you saved the world once again - and this time it all went without a single gunshot.
Command Heroes
In Command Heroes, you control a Hero from one of many Factions in the game each with unique abilities, equipment, and perks to unlock.

Dig Deep
Head underground to discover artifacts of mystical or technological power which can help turn the tide in your team’s favor. Summon an ancient stone golem, an orbital satellite strike, or dozens of other sources of destruction, healing, wealth, and power. Defend artifacts once revealed or that power can fall into your enemy’s hands.
Find your Faction
Each faction has diverse units, buildings, weapons, and heroes. Shift and shape your strategy accordingly. Surprise your enemies with unlimited playstyle approaches. Will you attack from above, below, or both? Whether you approach with style & finesse or overwhelm by brute force, you’ll be faced with new challenges and find new strategies each match.
Torchance 6
I own Club Manager 2015, which is an ancestor of this. It is really very good and I bought it for on sale for a pittance, something like $3. Nearly all of the gameplay is exactly the same so I’d check out the reviews there for in-depth discussion of those features. I wrote one that was very good. I was impressed.
Anyway, this game is 5 years newer, 3 releases later, and the price of a AAA management game. Yet it is almost entirely the same as CM2015 except:
A very simplistic 2d match display which just shows you the location of the ball.

if your wondering if this game is worth the price, take a moment to read my review and find out.
so this game reminds me of the simple yet outstanding games you can find on Xbox 360, this is a real time strategy with user-controlled unit, simple to learn and fun to play.
best with a controller (Xbox 360 controller i used) and also works with the keyboard.
offline skirmish with lots of maps to chose from.
a short campaign that works like a tutorial.
local-coop.
local-VS mode.
overall its worth a purchase. thanks for reading have a great day!

Hexagroove: Tactical DJ
Hexagroove is probably the most interesting and exciting music game I’ve ever played. It’s a rhythm game made by people with a deep and obvious love of electronic music and the culture around it. It plays in a unique and intuitive way that makes it simple to make some kick ass music. Honestly, I never knew how much I needed something like this in my life.
Unlike other rhythm games which rely on quick reflexes and tapping along to the beat, most of Hexagroove’s gameplay centers around layering different instrumental loops. If you’re the kind of person who likes to play a game for the challenge, then it might not be for you. Most of the fun comes from putting together the different pieces and finding a solid groove, then adjusting it and playing with it on the fly. There’s room for a lot more experimentation and playfulness than in games that emphasize skill mastery, like Beatmania or Audiosurf. It offers some mini-games and an obligatory campaign, but you won’t find anything too taxing except on the highest difficulty. I’ve made my way through the whole game on each difficulty level, but most of my time is spent in free mode just jamming out. I’d hesitate to even call Hexagroove a game. It controls like a game, and it’s got levels, achievements and tricks to perform for style points, but it plays more like an instrument, something you can play to make cool music, without any of the hassle of having to learn to beatmatch or how to use an MPC.

Even with my short time in the game thus far I think it’s incredibly cool. I’ve not seen or played anything else like it. From the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t (yet) make music, it’s about the closest you can get to actually mixing and producing your own tracks while still also technically being a game.
It’s a lot of fun just to play around in, and I love that the game encourages that. More than once I’d be vibing with all the loops and samples in the practice mode, finding out my favorites and which ones work well together before remembering, oh yeah, I have a set to go play, maybe I should do that. It’s double cool that incorporating real life mixing and songwriting techniques and theory affect your performance and score. Also you can have a Psytrance rave deep in the forest.
