Armoured Commander
Game is highly addicting. Makes me think of the movie Fury as a game with some retro graphics. Your choice determines the life of your crew and your tank. The game has much and much replay ability(If I spelled this correctly). Its a game that makes you think and at the same time reminds me of this older game named Across The Rhine.
I highly suggest this game if you think you can keep your crew alive during WW2.
Only a few cons:
It only plays in windowed mode but if youre okay with that than theres no problem

I booted up Armoured Commander, briefly mistook its application for a virus, and then realized, with delight and amazement, that this game is essentially the 1987 Avalon Hill solitaire war-gaming classic “Patton’s Best” remade on a nearly 1-1 basis. Which is great because the board game version is incredibly finnicky and unplayable, so to have essentially the same game available on our modern gaming rigs is pretty swell! The resolution mechanics are slightly altered (the original board game was all done on a percentile basis using 100-sided die rolls, whereas here the game uses 2d6 rolls, creating a bell-curve that replicates the essential odds but in a way more accessible way). The UI is pretty bad, but you get used to it. There are no graphics other than muddy terrain-zones on the world-map. That said, this game is basically DCS for US medium armor in WW2. The experience is very narrow, but it’s also very deep. One thing I appreciated about the original board game, and that I think is replicated here, is that if you engaged enemy units, they’d be much more likely to take notice of you and lob some shells back your way. So if you’re bouncing AP rounds off the frontal sloping armor of a Panther tank, that is a lovely, beautiful way to get yourself murdered. “Brew up” here has a different meaning than it does at your local brewery. World of Tanks this is not. If you are interested in historical tanking, give it a spin!

Dead Hand
pretty good game. really easy to get into the loop of trying, failing, learning and persevering. that being said, so far, after 12~ hours, i’ve found it to be pretty hard, and I consistently get flattened right at the beginning of the second area (easy difficulty), so be warned.
also, i really dig its dark industrial soundtrack. goes really well with the spooky and mysterious tunnels you explore. In general, the atmosphere draws me in, even considering how simple it is.

THIS IS SO GOOD.
Basic gameplay overview: You are an AI weapons platform. Shit went south. You must complete your purpose and trigger the dead hand to launch the nukes. Enemy AI weapon platforms block you.
Aiming is location or pointer based. So each weapon has a spread (represented by the crosshairs) and the bullets will land somewhere in it. The bullets are all physical and follow a path from the barrel. Where they land is where they impact. Terrain is destructible so that is VERY important.

Tanklike
Small little roguelike game with a suprising amount of depth.
Has a lot of stuff to find out, weapons to unlock, and just generally has a lot of replay value
And to top it off it has a fully-functional level editor for you to make your own randomly generated dungeons

BattleGrounds : War, Tanks And Nukes
This Sucks Swamp Water

Lucky me has the dubious honour of writing the first review for BattleGrounds: War, Tanks and Nukes.
BattleGrounds: War, Tanks and Nukes is a paid version of the free game, Battlegrounds: First Blast. It’s a minimalist 2D top down tower/soldier defense game where you must send your tanks against enemy tanks and defend your base with the single tower and various abilities you get.
As the screenshots show, the graphics here were phoned in. On a bad telephone line while driving through a tunnel. While the phone was turned off. It’s that bad. The level design is terrible, too, it’s barely possible to pass the first level. Next to no thought went into level design.
