Five Nations
A nice up-to-date looking 2D RTS like AoE2: Definitive Edition or C&C Remastered,
neat homage to Base Build Space RTS like Star Trek Armada 2 or Conquest: Frontier Wars.
Despite the game was made by a team of 2 people, it does rival AAA products.
While it does lack Multiplayer, Story and Single-player Skirmish are very well done.
The game has a really good Wiki page and Demo version on steam.
https://five-nations.fandom.com/wiki/Five_Nations_Wiki
Five Nations is an impressive real-time strategy game that borrows action and gameplay elements from many of the genre’s classics. The game has a very deep and complex base build alike Age of Empires, where you have to care for 4 different resources, also the unit population. The map terrain has an interesting variety of open space and white nebulas where units can hide, but not use their abilities and are slower, also there are areas that do damage units if they try to pass them like red storm clouds.

I think its by sheer luck that I found this game. Someone on twitter just randomly brought it up and I got curious and looked it up. I first tried the demo and was very surprised!
For a small studio and their first game this is a REALLY impressive RTS! It does so many things well that alot of AAA RTS’s seem to struggle with. There’s a few blemishes here and there, but overall I am surprised at how polished and well designed all the mechanics are, and the factions feel very finely tuned to fit perfectly in a competitive scene.

Guardians of Hyelore
I’ve had the pleasure of testing this game in and out during the beta. At the highest level of difficulty this game provides quite the challenge and I’ve enjoyed all 45 hours that I’ve spent playing the game!
Cute graphics
Hard challenge
Good replayability
As a side note, this game is a solo indie dev’s first project ever, so he earns my total respect for that! Can’t wait to see what’s in store next!

This review is further detailed in the video below.
Guardians of Hyelore is a diamond in a rough for those that enjoy the defense style of games. I am impressed by the amount of progression options and the amount of work that went into this. For the right price this is easily a day 1 buy for me.

Para Bellum - Hold the Line
great fun little war game. easily worth the 10 bucks it costs.
edit:
the new updates, for example the GMG really kick ***!!
– Real player with 30.1 hrs in game
A cool little tactical war game with emphasis on realism. The developer is very active in discord and listens to feedback from the players. Already holds a good amount of content and I can see this growing to a gem during early access.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1489310/NecroCity/
There was a time of peace and happiness, now is a time of blood, sacrifice and war.
The land we have lived on since the earliest times, where our ancestors lived, where we live, and our children will be born, as well as their offsprings. In this land, we have obtained food and have fought against cruel beasts for survival. It is here that we built our houses, settlements and developed the arts of crafts and farming, and they came and took everything from us. We must fight for our land! Because this land is our life. And for them, it is nothing but death!
Know your enemies
Some people describe them as monsters and the worst creatures that walk on Slavic land. Nobody knows where they came from, and nobody realized what they wanted until their steel and silver swords were covered with the blood of the Slavs. The land, which was once fertile, yielded many crops, will now be burned and stained with the blood of the Slavs.
Build and Manage
Proper development and management of the village is one of the key points for the development of your territory. Raga will have many famous and innovative city-building mechanics. Starting with a small village that you will be able to expand with new buildings as the game progresses. Managing even a small village is an extremely difficult task, proper management of the workforce, food ration, or meeting the religious needs of your inhabitants requires your commitment.
Trade and Farm
Manage your settlement in an optimal way. The exchange of resources with merchants and traders is one of the key factors for the rational management of the village. In the game, you will start your adventure when trade and agriculture flourish. Agriculture is an extremely crucial aspect for your village in terms of its further development. Take care of the proper balance of your crops, because farming will allow you to trade with other towns and cities.
FIGHT
Fight those who came out of nowhere: followers of the crucified god. Train your warriors to face their greatest follower. Fight for the survival of the village and its inhabitants. In the game, you will be able to create many categories of warriors who will face your opponent without fear in their eyes. Take care of the morale of your warriors, without them you can be lost, do not count on the mercy of those with a cross on their backs.
Let the ravens feast on the enemy’s carcass during the day and the wolves in the evenings, it’s time for Raga. It is time for the myths and legends about the creatures that inhabit the land of the Slavs to become true, let the followers of the crucified god see with their own eyes and feel what pain, fear and death are.
Bacteria Wars

Centurion Rex
Centurion Rex is a strategy game set in an alternate history where the Meditterean region is ruled by a Roman-dinosaur-led republic. Few dare to oppose the hegemony of the reptilian republic. One such force is Shark Shogunate - a militaristic dictatorship from the Far East.
You can take control of either republican or shark forces and lead them to victory through superior leadership and tactics.
Gewevo : Interstellar
Hi, with no money and only goodwill, I embarked on the game creation adventure this year with Unreal Engine 4 part-time. Despite the difficulties and my lack of experience, I decided to make one of my childhood dreams come true.
What is Gewevo : Interstellaire ?
It is a real-time space strategy game inspired by the universe of Gewevo where you have to develop your planets, colonize others and conquer the last. There is also a more wargame oriented approach to some aspects of empire management. To put it simply, this is it.
What is Gewevo ?
Gewevo is a science-fantasy univers and a tabletop RPG originally (findable on Lulu) which is expanding regularly with novels (also found on Lulu and Wattpad) and now a video game.
Why that strange name of Gewevo ?
Why not.
Why such simplistic graphics ?
Because I have no talent for it.

Of Ships & Scoundrels
Did you like Pirates? Do you like turn-based combat? Do you like random maps and exploring?
Then this game could be something for you. For an early access Indie title, it’s got surprisingly good graphics (especially the sea), a real story in single player mode, and some funny mystic creatures. There’s a touch of Age of Wonders, but the battles are less tactical.
POSITIVE
-
good graphics
-
mystic creatures pimp the pirates scenario
-
nice story (no Heavy Rain, though)
-
high replay value (random quests, random maps, hotseat mode)

Looks amazing, nice atmosphere and unique interesting game mechanics. I like it!
You know where the journey is heading. With some little improvements in EA and more content I will be able to put hours in this :)!
Good strategy will lead you to your victory and will demolish your friends, but don’t forget about the immersive story though. Good price for a good game! Go on like this.
