The Entente Gold
This is a quite challenging but still fun game in the old “Command and Conquer” RTS vein, but with the level of historic detail it should be compared to the “Cossacks 2” series. The interface is fairly simple as are the graphics, but the visuals maintain the game’s historic accuracy (the differences between national uniform). It can’t be compared to the “Blitzkrieg” series for graphics, and it’s somewhat behind the “Battle of Empires” mod for “Company of Heroes”, but for the price there’s quite literally hours (if not weeks or even months in the campaigns) of game play with thankfully little frustration for the junior leader or even the veteran RTS player. A well-trained AI is built into the game to manage your civil or military war effort for you so you need do very little, unless you really want a challenge. Then you should fully expect General War in all his aspects! Finally and thankfully the game doesn’t just park itself in trench warfare-you should expect what really happened in 1914; the dawn of twentieth-century warfare with all the associated horrors. Good luck, everyone.

The Entente is a old-styled RTS based on rarely-used WW1 setting. It was released in 2003-2004 and was made by same people who made Cossacks, on same engine as well, unless I am mistaken. And now it was rereleased on Steam.
You will notice that while in Steam it’s called Entente Gold, in the game itself it shows “v2.0” and intro was edited to say “Entente II”. It’s not clear what was changed. I remember somebody on Steam noticing it and saying that some sprites were changed. Like they were working to remake it, but then gave up.

Historical Jigsaw Puzzle: World War I
Jigsaw puzzle game. Images are from the First World War and the era around it. Decent enough, I guess.

Tactics of World War I
Tactics of World War I puts you in the role of a military leader on the Western Front. Lead your men through some of the fiercest battles in history. But only if you plan your attacks thoroughly, and react smartly and quickly to your enemies actions you will succeed.
Two Single-Player Campaigns
The game features two single-player campaigns set on the Western Front. A German campaign about the invention of the famous “Sturmtruppen”, an elite infantry unit founded to overcome the stalemate of trench warfare. And a British campaign dealing with the deployment of the very first tanks to the battlefield.
The campaigns extent over the entire conflict from 1914 to 1918, including decisive battles such as the Battle of Flirey or the Battle of Passchendaele.
Realistic Small Unit Tactics
Tactics of World War I focuses on the tactical aspects of the battle like cover, suppressive fire, and flanking maneuvers. Resulting in a fast-paced gameplay loop accompanied by truly innovative, streamlined controls.
With more than half a dozen individual units per faction, from light infantry to heavy weapons, such as mortars or tanks, Tactics of World War One provides you with a variety of tactics.

11-11 Memories Retold
achievements
overall, it is not a bad pick for achievement-hunters: no bugged or glitched achievements, no grind, everything is tight and simple (and achievements themselves are vary in goals), but the whole hunting is tedious. without a thoughtful detailed guide you will replay the same stages again-and-again with unskippable cutscenes. also various collectibles are hard to see because of artsy graphics. so, in a nutshell, good hunting overall, but it will be more irritating than fun

For some reason, I decided to play both “11-11 Memories Retold” and “Call of Duty: WWII” simultaneously. Now, these games might be drastically different: one is a poetic tribute to the fallen of WWI, and the other is more of a straightforward, gritty representation of WWII. But in my playthroughs, I actually found out some odd similarities between them:
-
They make you control different characters interchangeably;
-
They both have rather unnecessary flying sections;
-
They both try to educate gamers about the wars with collectables;

REVOLT 1917
Although I think that this isn’t a flawless game, I still think it is very good for the price. It may just be because I’ve always wanted a whole game around that Battlefield 1 campaign “Nothing is Written”. It is frantic and action-packed when it needs to be and slow and methodical when it needs to be. would recommend.

Best battlefield game up to date. Immersion is top of the roof with some decent campaigns.
If you want to play multiplayer, make sure you dont use “quick match” and try server browser instead. In there, don’t use official DICE servers as they’re often filled with hackers. Try out community servers where admins are active and players are good and u get close, fun games.

Rise of Flight United
now when i got this game i didn’t understand why it had mixed reviews, i watch videos on youtube and the flight simulator community eats this game up like a fresch cherry pie, they seem to love the hell out of it and talk so highly out of it, so when i saw the mixed reviews i was kind of suprised, and didn’t undersand and now I do… now before i get too that lets get too the Pros of the game.
PROS
the pros of this game are simple, if you are a avid flight simulator player like myself you will enjoy the higher graphics the game has to offer, clean, smooth, the game has VERY nice graphics and seem to be somewhat realistic in appearence on the aircraft, the cockpits also are nicely detailed with working gauges, instroments and controls, and just like any other flight simulator getting kill after kill is addicting. damage effects are pretty spectacular too watch, peaces of wing come off, fires spread rather than just rapidly burst, props break, holes develope on the aircraft pretty much where you hit your target, very very nice… skins for the aircraft are also relatively easy too mod aside from the fact you have to have a higher setting for your editor so your skins don’t look all pixely.

Rise of Flight is a World War 1 flight sim that is a game made for flight sim enthusiast’s, thus the game tenders to a small audience and genre. The game upon start-up is a tad confusing for someone who has never really had a flight sim, but being a normal gamer I ventured into the unknown playing a quick match. After taking awhile to find the “Start Mission” button I was off.
The game is visually stunning, even for me with a relatively old gaming rig. The detail to the airplane is stunning and really helps capture the feel of playing in one of these vintage aircraft, from the seat to the gunsight everything seems authentic and comes alive as you fly around and if you have any interest in airplanes this game takes you right in.

Super Trench Attack!
Little top-down-view “ala 8bit” shooter game with cartoon animation. Yep, another one. Thank God, at least there are no zombies in that game, unlike many of her sisters!
Pro part:
Game’s short, easy to beat on gold with achievements, the price is not high even without discounts Steam so rich for. If you’ve seen the video from the store page, you’ve seen all that that game have for you. Shoot it if you’re not up to some bigger hits for a moment, and just want to make some clicks with your mouse and get some achievements for it. Easy breeze of victory, you know?

Isometric twin-stick shooter with occasional on-rail missions, in setting similiar to World War I and with solid portion of humour. The game is a little similiar to Cannon Fodder, but it has much more than that. I was pleasantly surprised when the game wasn’t just set of levels. Here we have a fully functional camp that we’ll visit between missions, buy weapons and gear, listen to chatter of other soldiers, play blackjack or check our status. It offers a nice break between missions and I was impressed that idling soldiers constantly have something new to say.

1917 - The Alien Invasion DX
UPDATE DEC 2016:
As of December, 1917: The Alien Invasion has been replaced with a “DX” version that includes 3 additional levels and bosses, 3 new planes with distinct properties, and a whole ton of graphical and audio updates.
It’s 1917 and aliens have invaded earth. As Dr. Brunhield Stahlmüller, you must use your rocket-powered Tri-Plane to take the fight back to the aliens.
The game follows a pretty typical Shoot ‘Em Up model over the course of eight levels: You’ll encounter wings of smaller fighters, larger and slower opponents, stationary ground targets, and obstacles that instakill on collision. Bosses float around and spam “bullethell” patterns. You can pick up power-ups that upgrade your weapons and shields. If you have any experience with Shoot ‘Em Ups (and I’m by no means an expert) you’ll recognize the most of the mechanics right away.

It’s not particularly hard. Beatable by most non-casual gamers. Very interesting because of the bizarre but fitting art style. The game is short, so even if it’s not an amazing title, it still is very much worth the 20~30 minutes you’re going to spend on it.
Some of the background particles visually mix themselves with gameplay elements, causing unnecessary visual confusion. I feel like the game would feel much smoother if those effects didn’t feel like they’re only getting in your way instead of beautifying the scenarios.
