„Charming and beautiful tactics game that is still in early access. There are some balance issues but with time it may become an excellent option for short tactical skirmishes.”

„Not as visually appealing as BG3, but deeper character development and tactical combat. Seriously, you can spend hundreds of hours just figuring out new builds. If this is the future of CRPGS, I'm in.”

Recomandat 3 noiembrie 2023

„A charming lightweight game that mixes RPG with JRPG-style streamlined tactical battles. An improvement over the first installment with deeper, more satisfying mechanics and more tactical challenges.”

„Much better than GalCiv III, which was a step back from GalCiv II. This is truly a classic 4x space opera. Great UI, easy to grasp mechanics but with deep, strategic gameplay. Glad to have you back!”

Recomandat 26 octombrie 2023

„Same concept as Combat Mission, not as deep in terms of tactics but better UI and graphics. Wants to be realistic but fails when simulating some warfare aspects such as armor penetration. Fun anyways.”

Recomandat 26 octombrie 2023

„Essentially a deck-builder but with dice instead of cards. Plays fast and has some innovative mechanics. Improves Slay the Spire, which is a great game already.”

Recomandat 12 septembrie 2023

„Yes, it is as good as they say. Great story and graphics, but it really shines in its tactical combat. The depth is almost overwhelming. This is really a milestone in the history of RPGs.”

„Xenonauts but with better graphics. A classic take on the old XCOM and UFO games. With time, it will be a better game than the original Xenonauts, as the devs have plans to keep improving the formula.”

Recommended Strategic and Tactical Wargames

Strategy is the action plan that takes you where you want to go. Tactics are the individual steps and actions that will get you there.

„Turn based American Civil War game at the strategic level, featuring a WEGO system. Perhaps the best game by AGEOD, but only really worth it for PBEM multiplayer.”

„Digital tabletop miniature game with a medieval setting. Very deep tactical gameplay. Excellent for multiplayer (integrated PBEM), with official tournaments every now and then.”

„A welcomed graphics update to the series. Same real time tactical gameplay at the squad/platoon level. Very deep and challenging if you get pass its terrible UI, although not the best in the series.”

Recomandat 5 iunie 2023

„Unique tactical game set if WW2 that combines real time with WEGO turns. Realistic simulation of warfare, with a focus on small operations and vehicle combat. Good starting point for the series.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„A puzzle game disguised as a wargame, it is nevertheless interesting until you solve it. Focused on battles in the Eastern Front at the division level. Good light wargame for those interested in WW2.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„Excellent wargame set in the Sengoku Jidai period. Historically accurate with some little caveats. It has an integrated PBEM system, but sadly it is difficult to find an opponent these days.”

„Used to be the most comprehensive simulation of the Eastern Front, but nowadays that prize goes to the second installment in the series. Still worth checking it out if you can't get the new version.”

„Lees complex than War in the East, but still a beast of a wargame. The most detailed simulation of the Western Front in WW2. Steep learning curve but worth the time invested.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„Turn based WW2 battles. Somehow challenging at the tactical level, but with an extremely simple ruleset. Best played in campaign mode, as you get to upgrade and customize your unit rooster.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„Excellent wargame set in the early modern period. Worth it for the integrated PBEM multiplayer system, not so much for the single player experience. Sadly, it is difficult to find an opponent.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„Average complexity wargame set in the Cold War that breaks away with the IGOUGO turn based system, instead featuring a WEGO system in which you plan your moves and watch its execution. It nails it.”

Recomandat 5 iunie 2023

„Solid real time tactics wargame at the platoon level that emphasizes logistics and command and control in the battlefield. A somehow steep learning curve, but worth the time invested in learning it.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„Another AGEOD game at the strategic level featuring a WEGO system. As with others, the game really shines at PBEM multiplayer, but not worth it for single player.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„Grand strategy WW2. A spawn of Hearts of Iron II, improves it in almost every aspect. More realistic combat and logistics and better AI make for a good strategic challenge. Way better than HOI3/HOI4.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„Essentially the same turn based tactical WW2 gameplay featured by its predecessor, but with improved graphics. PC Gold is still a better option in terms of content.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„A wargame disguised as a 4x. The empire management mechanics are serviceable at best, but the game excels as a strategic wargame at the division level. Not a Civilization clone, you have been warned.”

Recomandat 5 iunie 2023

„Improves on the previous iteration. Still a puzzle game in which you are asked to "solve" a battle. Great for your first plays, less interesting when you find the winning strategy for each scenario.”

Recomandat 4 iunie 2023

„Great WW2 wargame that focuses on the invasion of Poland and France (including a "what if" invasion of Britain). Excellent at both the strategic and tactical level. Better played in campaign mode.”
