Red Solstice 2: Survivors
A few things about Red Solstice 2:
-
Red Solstice is one of those games where having a group of people in voice chat with whom you regularly play makes it significantly better.
-
I found the unlock progression-rate to be rather slow, yet far from the worst. If you’ve ever played Vermintide 2, it’s noticeably faster than that, but still a bit of a grind. Though, take this with a grain of salt, as I dislike all time-accumulated or points-accumulated unlock-gating in games that do not have a tycoon-like feedback element to them.

I’ve gotten some play time out of this and enjoyed it for the most part, so I’ll give it a thumbs up, especially for its price tag.
If you’re fine with lots of bugs, some balance issues and weird descriptions with new content releases which are fixed between a week to a month later, then this is a pretty solid game. It’d be an awesome game if it wasn’t constantly tripping over itself with every content release.
Singleplayer is serviceable with bots if you build them and use them right. There are a lot of “wrong” builds which will make playing singleplayer with bots miserable until the “right” builds are discovered. Every game mode can also be played online coop with friends or strangers, which tends to make the experience more interesting.

SpellForce 3: Fallen God
TLDR: Overall this was a great pick up and really nails both the RPG and RTS elements to it. The story can be immersive the music is incredible and I can’t wait to try out the other games and the co-op element as well. The puzzles are well thought out and engaging which is really refreshing and unexpected for this type of game.
Background:
I came into Spellforce 3: Fallen God with literally no previous experience from the franchise, I thought this was a new standalone game coming out and the story looked interesting so I picked it up. I would like to clarify this is a Standalone DLC for Spellforce 3. After playing I will be picking up the original and the other standalone DLC as well.

We all know why you are here. Tired of all the mediocre writing in other games? Fallen God contains more of the excellent writing and world building you’ve encountered and loved in Spellforce 3 and Soul Harvest. If you haven’t already: go play those titles first. This series punches well above its weight.
As before there’s equal parts RTS and RPG, but this time with trolls in the main lead. Grimlore succeeds in giving these trolls humanlike emotions. It’s far from savage grumping, although they still crush their enemies with their sticks too. And they crush hard. So what are the differences? There’s some crafting involved (trolls can’t wield human weapons), but it’s really not that pronounced. There’s not that much loot to begin with; Grimlore wisely decided to focus on other gameplay elements. The trolls are certainly sturdier than the human protagonists and consequently the game feels easier, especially in the RTS part. Perhaps this was due to playing Fallen God coop (which works great btw!), because most RTS missions could be accomplished by just rushing the opposing base. Is this a problem? I don’t know. Most importantly, we had fun! But Spellforce veterans might want to push the difficulty slider up a notch. On a technical note: the egregious long loading screens are finally gone!

Rising Constellation
Rising Constellation is an awesome game which is mixing strategy and role play at a perfect level.
It offers many distinct gameplay based on factions and its agents mechanics - however, remind it’s strongly depends on team play!
Indead, this game is part of those who are perfectly designed to work in cooperation with your mates, but definitely not alone.
Use Siderians and rule your teamates, just because you’ll get the economy power - or perhaps you’ll prefer bite everyone using large fleets lead by Navarques.

Rising Constellation is 4x RST game still in developpment.
Created from a small team of Swiss developper, I was a player of thier first MMO RTS 4x game: Asylamba.
I see RC (Rising Constellation) like an MMO RTS 4x game based on Agents (Navarques – Ereased – Sidérians).
I really enjoy the game for is background story (lore can be added by players participation) , B&W graphic style and is MMO possibility !
There is now 1 mod to play : fast flash 2H gamemode , this is quite small with 1 or to 2 games per week with a small cummunity.

Descent: Legends of the Dark
The App is being supported well. Game play is fun and innovative. It still feels like Descent. I like the streamlined changes to the fatigue system. I like the combat system better now that there isn’t a 16% chance of whiffing. You might do very little damage, but something always happens on an attack roll. The multi level terrain adds a neat visual affect and has a descent affect on game play.

FFGs best app based board game yet! Enemies drop loot, you can harvest crafting materials, save your game between rounds, visit a town where you can craft items, have town triggered events, and more. Each mission had specific points of interest and and interactions that were unique depending on which characters you brought with you. I’m also really impressed with the quest variety. They’ve really outdone themselves. 33 hours in, and still having a blast.
Super excited to continue my adventure, and I hope to see this board game/app supported for a long time to come!

Darkzone: Idle RPG
I have been playing for a long time during the alpha (before a massive overhaul of the combat happened) and when a Steam version (that also got like a 6 months alpha) happened.
When I found this game for the first time, the game was a bit clunky and the UI somewhat weird. The game was way way more simpler, we didn’t have conquest, the story was played ALWAYS as co-op (you used a second player as a bot, anyone in the range of your level), and we had a tap system to do damage, that nobody used.
Devs, in discord, listened to feedback, and with every update, some of the clunkyness was removed, some suggestions were added, things got changed, and we eventually got a massive rehauling of the combat and progression system, with levels, attribute builds, skills, and new different stats (evasion, accuracy, damage reductions… those stats didn’t exist at all before).

It’s a (mostly) auto-battler with some rpg / strategic elements that is a port from a mobile app. My sole experiences with the game have been through Steam, so this review is not based on the mobile experience. Overall, I recommend the game to players who enjoy incremental / auto-battler style games that incorporate some strategic elements.
Pros:
It’s visually appealing
The devs are exceptionally active on Discord and respond promptly to player issues. They remain positive in their player interactions regardless of ratings. When I raised an issue with my account, it was addressed quickly.
