RPG, Crowdfunding, Strategic Elements, Fantasy, Indie Games, Internet, MMO, MMORPG, Survival, The Middle Ages, TPP.
An MMORPG developed by Soulbound. Chronicles of Elyria is set in a fantasy world inspired by the medieval Europe. The game received financial support on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform. The mechanics combine elements borrowed from the classics of the genre with innovative features. Therefore, the player explores a diverse, extensive world, completes various quests, but also caters for the basic needs of their character - food, drink, rest and shelter from cold and heat all have to be provided. Interestingly, the player's avatar can get married and have children. What is especially innovative however, is that one's character ages and eventually dies - their soul reincarnates and the player can continue the adventure in the body of the deceased's relative. What is also worth mentioning, is the game's character development system (which is based on skills learned alongside progression), and a complex and demanding combat system. Furthermore, both NPCs and players can give quests. Chronicles of Elyria offers both the PvE and PvP components. Obviously, the player is capable of founding guilds and making alliances as well.

Applying different tactics on the road, the player competes against others in order to win the yellow shirt of the leader. As usual, this installment uses all the necessary licenses - the player observes virtual representations of real cyclists and their teams, as well as faithfully recreated tracks.

Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa
November 24, 2015
Strategy, World War II, Multiplayer, PBeM, Singleplayer, War Strategy, Turn-based.
The third part of the strategy game series launched in 2010, which recreates key military operations of World War II. This time, the developers from VR Designs studio concentrated on the titular Operation Barbarossa, the German offensive against the Soviet Union, described as one of the most important military operations carried out by the Axis, whose failure greatly contributed towards the final defeat of the 3rd Reich in the war. The general gameplay premises remain unchanged; Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa remains a turn-based strategy game that realistically recreates many aspects of skirmishes as well as the strategic activities accompanying them. As far as novelties go, a dynamic, semi-automatic decision system is the most important one, allowing you to leave the minor decisions in the hands of AI, and a new army management system, which features some RPG inspired solutions.

Football Manager Mobile 2016
November 18, 2015
Sports, Manager, Football Manager, Football, Singleplayer.
Another mobile edition of one of the most popular football management simulators series developed by Sports Interactive. Compared to the full-fledged installments in the franchise, Football Manager Mobile 2016 offers somewhat simplified gameplay, although it has many more features than Football Manager Touch 2016, also for mobile devices, which was released simultaneously. The trade-off is that the database is limited to the 14 most important world leagues. The gameplay itself does not deviate from the standard solutions of the series – in the game, we have to select a proper squad for each match, decide on player transfers, set training plans, as well as take care of the club’s budget and our employees’ and supporters’ satisfaction. Compared to its predecessors, the production was enriched with a number of novelties and enhancements, particularly an improved interface, new tactical instructions, and an extensive training module.
