Circle Empires Rivals
Circle Empires: Rivals is the multiplayer successor to Circle Empires. At its core, Circle Empires Rivals is a 10-25 minute long real time strategy game. Despite the short game length, it has quite a lot of content and depth, and easily gets a strong recommendation given its moderate to low price point.
At the time of writing this review, the game has 7 different game modes, 26 commanders with unique army compositions and bonuses, 6 difficulty settings, 5 different map sizes, and within the various game modes (such as stop the army and monster hunt) there are also different scenario selections available. The different game modes range from very easy to very difficult, and even with 4 people working together in a co-op game certain modes like Defend the Castle mode is extremely difficult on even moderate difficulty settings, so if you like a PvE challenge, the game has this available.

Must buy for every RTS fan and people who would like to experience something unique with alot of variety.
You can play this game on easy mode or incredible challenging. There are a lot of game modes and coop makes alot of fun too. The game is also very well made no bugs and a great interface!
Got 32hours on the first one and with this game I expect getting closer to 100+ hours for only 8-12 euro you got great value.
If you want to play this coop, but don´t have someone to play it with, I am always looking for people to play it with, since it just makes even more fun in coop-mode.

Extremely Realistic Siege Warfare Simulator
Game battle mechanics are built on real-world physics. Select different troops and make various siege weapons to battle the enemy.
Game controls are greatly simplified. When selecting troops, game time will slow down so that you have plenty of time to strategize and input controls.
Then, just leave the rest to your soldiers.
Fun battles built on real-world physics
Destroy castle walls with trebuchets, or send in the cavalry to sweep across the battlefield?
With game combat based on physics simulations, identical matchups can lead to different ends. Choose your favorite battle method, command your troops in real-time, and fight in a realistic world!
Varied and Unique Troops, Brave and Intelligent Soldiers
Working with other unit types, the dozens type of unique units, each with their own stats and skills, can restrain enemies of all sorts, making them extremely effective in each scenario.
Each soldier is equipped with independent AI, which allows them to carry out your orders and, in the meantime, making their decisions based on allies and the progress of battle.
In addition, in this physics-based world, they’re also pretty cute-looking.
Fun Gameplay Expansion
In addition to commanding your troops for victory, you can also take to the battlefield from the perspective of a troop commander to engage in close-quarters combat with the enemy.
The future plan includes custom modules and multiplayer mode, which will make this city siege game even more fun.

Bionite: Origins
At its current state I can’t recommend. I’ve re-downloaded when new updates were made, but sadly the game does not feel like BZ. The controls are too sophisticated (couldn’t implement the original’s?), unit AI needs a huge improvement, and many bugs just build on top of it all. Seriously though, commanding your constructor to build a guntower shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes. Bad pathfinding and controls plague a game where basic game mechanics should be a priority. Besides, 6+ years and it’s still in early access? Sorry, but donating to them was a mistake.

As others have said, this game unfortunately seems to have grinded to a halt since 2018? Developers obviously lost interest. It’s a buggy mess that is COMPLETELY unplayable at this stage; controls are wacky and nothing seems to work correctly. Don’t buy it.
I think everyone was hoping something great would come of this spiritual successor… it’s a shame. Oh well, Battlezone 98 Redux and Battlezone: Combat Commander are on Steam now at least.
EDIT in response to developer:
I fully understand that game development is very difficult, especially when starting out or with only a small team, and as such, many projects take years to develop.

Interesting game. You send ships to take over planets. There are also trade routes which allow you to steal the other player’s money.

Intruder
Make this game free.
I’ve only had Intruder for a couple of months now and I’ve already poured almost 100 hours into the game. The gameplay loop is addictive and managed to keep me hooked longer than most modern triple A games have today. A plethora of content creators have recorded and streamed their experiences on Intruder, promoting the game a crap ton. While 5v5 is fun, the chaotic, bombastic spectacle of 10v10 is easily the cream of the crop in this game.
Even though hundreds of thousands of people have heard and have watched Intruder, the global player count is extremely low. I think the only thing that keeps the count low is the fact that there’s a $20 price tag attached to the game. Intruder should follow the same free-to-play business models of games such as SCP: Secret Laboratory or Unturned, where people could donate to a Superboss Games Patreon or pay for dedicated servers, preferably with player counts larger than 20.

Everything you could ask for from a stealth pvp shooter, just needs more players. More content is always being added for free by the devs, the workshop has a ton of custom maps that are just as good as the official maps, and the community is very nice. Can’t wait for the full release!

Stars Survivor
I think this game is simple, easy and interesting.
However, I have decided the name appropriately, so I want to change it. Let me know if the developer knows.
Thank you.

World War 3
GOOD POTENTIAL… AND THAT’S IT!
This game had been heavily touted as a “Battlefield Killer” in the past, but the only thing it managed to kill was itself. And it’s now going Free to Play in one of the worst platforms there is. And they’re asking for your personal data to keep testing it.
And that’s thanks to devs. It used to be a fun game, despite the bugs that Farm 51 ignored from the beginning. Unfortunately the gaming industry is plagued by a “build first, polish later” myth that simply doesn’t work, and this game is the posterchild of that mentality (which btw never works). Bugs amounted to the hundreds, every update introduced more bugs without fixing previous ones, and devs stubbornly insisted on cramming more features nobody wanted while ignoring the pink glowing elephant in the room.

This is clearly the Battlefield game of the year (since Battlefield 5 shifted to “run and gun” kids gameplay style.
After Gigapatch update this game is definitely worth buying. I started playing since the game release, and i can tell you the game we have now is like a new one. The game still has some performance issues (whether on server side or game optimization), but if your PC falls into recommended requirements you will not notice any issue.
In one sentence: This game is like BF3 but a much more hardcore version.

great auto battle game, good graphics

This is the best chess game I’ve ever played. The amount of depth to the game, while still in early access, is impressive. I think that the game will only get better with time and will have more players to compete against as the game grows in popularity.

Insurgency
Many of the games at a 60$ price aren’t worth that amount. This game is definitely worth MORE than 15. It doesn’t matter if it’s on sale, you should get this game and tell your friends to get it. Here is why:
I have accumulated over 1,200 hours on this game and have actually founded a competitive insurgency team. It’s only fair that I give the game the review it deserves. If you want to know about a lot about the game before you buy it, you’re reading the right review.
The Competitive Scene:
The competitive scene, while not as big as CSGO, has been mostly developed by the players-many of which have played the game for a long time. These leagues (DGL, ESL, ANZ) spread across every region of the world and have offered regional seasons, tournaments, draft tournaments and even world cups. No matter what region you are from, you can play this game. I’ve played with guys from South America, America and Canada, Eastern and Western Europe (from the UK to Ukraine), Australia and New Zealand, etc. The game does not boast ten’s of thousands of players but the players that play this game in the competitive scene are very dedicated. It is not as hard to learn how to play as it used to be because the game has been allowed to develop and the players have figured out how to play the different maps in general. If you’re wondering what “game type” the competitive scene revolves around, it’s a game mode with 3 points that you can capture, objectives similar to that of the battlefield genre or starwars battlefront. You own one, they start owning one, and then there is a neutral point. If you cap a point, you bring your whole team back. You start with 5 players and they start with 5 players, you fight to the death to kill the other team, using all sorts of strategies and tactics, but also try to potentially cap a point (or bait a cap) and bring the rest of your team back. Sounds fun as hell, right? It’s awesome.

I decided to hold off on writing a review until there were a few more updates and for me to have at least 500+ hours invested into the game. I am going to keep this straight up what i think about it as a whole with no fluff. Short and sweet.
Should you get it? It depends on what type of fps’s you like. Many CS players have fell in love with it because they like the realism and they’ve grown tired of the arcade feel that most other shooters have. Don’t doubt it for a second, this game is hard to pick up on but once you do, you realize how well reflexes really help if you’re rushing but don’t expect to be 360 no-scoping people because there is almost no chance in hell that that will happen. Those with good aim that are looking down sight as you turn a corner will get you every time so this is a game best played instinctively and safe (just don’t be one of those snipers that sit at spawn and let the enemy capture everything). There are few grenade, C4, or launcher spots that few people know of and use at the start of some maps which can be frustrating, so that is why I’m really hoping that much larger maps will be released in the future that are more open and don’t feel as constrained/guided (Heights and Buhriz are like that but i still love them). Maps that were easy to spawn camp have been updated heavily to prevent that which is great. The devs are absolutely brilliant at balancing and opening new areas of maps, always on top of it so kudos to them.

…the campaign is locked behind extreme grind. i forgot what is the story
…its not a whatever-shooter, its a whatever-grenader.
…lootboxes!
…check my artwork for a collection of cool screenshots from the game
…researched hangar 3 and did not get to build hangar 3

I was truly hoping this would be a fun game, but it turned out to be a time-wasting pile ofsteaming disappointment. Original XCOM vet/junkie, here, and I’ll warn you this game is ABSOLUTE TRASH. Just spent an hour on ten missions with my one… single… “Pro” troop after giving this game a week of optimistic enthusiasm. Reward for my efforts………. made only $300 profit trying to find some way to harvest enough beginner ammo to grind with full squad for a while on “Normal” mode to hopefully accumulate enough beginner gear to take on “Hard” AI, of which will obliterate a normal-fitted squad. As many have already stated, this is a Pay-To-Play garbage grind-fest. If that’s your thang, get mental help.
