Conquicktory
Conquicktory is a minimalistic turn-based strategy focused on top-level decisions in your civilization’s development. You’ll control the diplomacy relations with neighboring countries, declare wars, plan the key strikes and distribute funds to the peaceful/military issues. Your subjects will do the rest of work - there is no need to deeply micromanage all the aspect of your glorious growing empire.
The game map has 3 views:
1. Military view. If you see a spear with a flag over one of your cities, it means that you can create an army in it. Simply touch and drag from it and you’ll see the army path. Army will capture cells around its path. The same dragging way is used to plan the movement of your existing armies. Also you can see the cells defense ratings on this view. Cells are defended by nearby armies, cities and forts.
2. Diplomacy view. Here you can select a country and see its current enemies (red) and allies (green). You can select a country and suggest a treaty to it, or declare war. Also here you can answer the treaties suggestions from other players
3. Economy view. You can see how much each of your cities brings to you, and set the funds spreading to war, peaceful growth and treasury. You can fund new cities and fortresses in this view.

Great vibe, cool music, clean graphics. And harder than you expect.
Like, I’m not that dumb, right? Maybe? I have decades of experience with gravity, this shouldn’t be a problem…
Game is what a $5 indie title should be: knows what its doing, does it well

This a refreshingly relaxing game of intergalactic warfare. The musical score lulls you into a false sense of security while your opponent is busy planning your demise. The gravitational pull of the planets makes for a fun strategical aspect and the random map generator allows for endless universes. An entertaining game for sure!

Puzzle Tactics
Excellent RTS in the simplest form but still fun. For those commenting negatively, the graphics are not the point, its the gameplay. I wish there were more levels. It reminds me of Alpha versions of games I used to work on in the early 90s. Kudos to the developer, it was well worth the few bucks I paid for it.

Nice little puzzle game. Turn-based, comparable to chess. Difficulty is easy for adults. Maybe challenging for children. What the game lacks is keyboard control (you can’t cancel menus with Escape) and a zoom feature. Would be nice to have. Hope to see some extra maps soon. Perfectly playable under Linux through Wine.
Thank you for programming this one!

World of MiniMonsters
WORLD OF MINIMONSTER is a game of creature collection. You must beat 20 levels to reach the boss in the final showdown. (This can change each game).
To be able to beat the final boss, you should level up your MiniMonsters. What better way to do it than with potions?
POTIONS - Buy potions to make your MiniMonsters stronger or change its stats. But you will need gold to buy them, then…
LET’S GO ON ADVENTURES! - Each level has 3 different adventures, 2 easy and 1 not so easy. While you are overcoming adventures, you will get gold and new potions for your MiniMonsters. You will need to have specific MiniMonsters to reach the victory. So, you should manage your group of MiniMonsters as better you can.
Are you ready to FIGHT? - Beat 3 different MiniMonsters in each land to reach the next level, but be careful! Maybe the last one is a Gold Star Minimonster (like a little boss with a special skill).
How to FIGHT? - It’s very important to know that each type of MiniMonster has different strengths and weaknesses. Light gets a bonus when fighting against Nature. Nature gets a bonus when fighting Mechs. Mech get bonuses when fighting against Dark, and Dark get bonuses when fighting against Light. You will also be interested to know that each MiniMonster is linked to an element. So Water gets bonuses against Fire, Fire against Earth, Earth against Air, and Air against Water. These elemental blasts are very powerful but will consume energy.
BATTLEGROUND - Select your battleground to get more bonuses for your MiniMonster. Each battleground will help one type of MiniMonster. Thus, it is essential choose your battleground well.

-
68 MiniMonsters (64 playable)
-
13 Different potions
-

Bala na manga
Quite possibly the best game to hit the steam store, and for only $0.99 you’re practically committing theft by buying it.

Endhall
Endhall’s description - a ‘byte-sized roguelike’ - encompasses exactly what this game is.
It easily serves as a stepping stone for those unfamiliar with the genre, whilst still being enjoyable for those who are well-versed in it. The learning curve is not steep, but the game does a fine job of making you reflect on what you could have done better. It took me about 40 or so minutes to beat the game, which is completely fair given the price. A run consists of beating 9 stages, and a successful run could end up being about 15 or so minutes.

Endhall is a turn based rogue like puzzle, with retro graphics and atmospheric chiptune inspired music.
The game in itself is quite simple (but there is no help, so I will describe it here): you play a robot fighting against other robots, you have 8 “health points” (labelled “energy meter”) and 4 “action points” (labelled “CPUs”). The action points are used to perform actions (like attacking, moving, etc.), and refill every turn; while health points decrease by various amounts when hit, or by one after the end of every turn (to prevent the player from camping) and are replenished by one for every ennemy death.

Power Pushout
Power Pushout is a turn-based strategy game with martial arts elements set in an epic asian environment. Choose your warrior and master figures and fight with them in a wild battle over the control of the game board. You can either push your opponent off the ground or conquer the opposing towers to decide the game. But be careful that your enemy doesn’t sneak past your troops like a ninja and usurp victory.
MAIN FEATURES
-
Defeat your opponent with cool finishing moves, sword assaults and kung fu kicks are on the agenda.
-
Choose your warrior and master figures, and combine their Power Points to destroy your opponent’s pieces.
-
Use the included map editor to create your own Zen garden. The smart placement system helps you get results quickly under full control.
-
You can trigger Earthquakes or add Super Crystals to surprise your opponent.
Super Crystals provide your character with extra power or a greater range of movement.
-
Power Pushout offers you four different game modes:
Classic, Normal, Destruction and Football.
Each mode can be played online or locally versus a friend or an AI, which is based on machine learning and smart heuristics.
Radiis
If you’re a fan of strategy games like Risk or Sid Meier’s Civilization series then you’ll probably enjoy this, since it somewhat falls in between the two–more complex than Risk, but much less micro-managing than the Civ games. I think Radiis is a little overpriced, but “overpriced” largely depends on how many hours of enjoyment you’ll get from it. I bought it on sale and have played more than 100hrs, so for me it was a great deal.
The missions are mostly challenging, but the AI could benefit from some tweaks. For example, the computer (NPC) players tend to focus on spamming buildings for added population growth, even when it would make more sense to expand their borders. Also NPCs never save money/tokens; if there’s enough finances to place buildings, it will place them whether they need to or not. And the NPCs boat placements are laughably inefficient.

I’ve always been into strategy games, but I don’t think I’ve ever found one that I’ve felt so compelled to write a review for.
This game is simply amazing for anyone who likes strategy games! Such a unique and different design. Gotta make sure to go through the campaign maps to learn and understand the different things available to you. There is always a viable strategy to victory in these maps, no matter how unlikely it may seem. Especially that final campaign map, you go into it thinking there’s no way this could be possible… but play it right and play smart, and it’s surprising how it really is doable!
