Wartile is an RTS with elements of card and board games. The game takes place in a dark fantasy world inspired by the Norse mythology. We control a party of vikings on a raid. Gameplay focuses on real-time battles between groups of warriors. Each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the key to victory lies in taking advantage of them. Another important gameplay element is the deck of cards built by the players. Those cards will not only power up our warriors, but also activate both offensive and defensive actions. Cards also play an important role in exploration. Battles take place on three-dimensional maps that are divided into hexagonal tiles, and lay of the land, which is an important tactical element that should be taken under consideration when we are preparing our strategy. As a result, Wartile brings to mind a turn-based strategy that somehow takes place in real-time. Along with the story driven campaign Wartile offers a multiplayer mode. The game uses Unreal Engine 4.

September 3, 2015
Strategy, World War II, Internet, Multiplayer, RTS, War Strategy, Tactics.
A third stand-alone expansion for Company of Heroes 2. It was developed by the Relic Entertainment studio, creators of the base game and the two previous expansions. As in the case of the Western Front Armies add-on, developers focused mainly on the multiplayer mode and added British Armed Forces to network game. Along with it developers provided the players with 15 new units, 6 commanders with various abilities, and 8 new maps depicting historical places of World War II. It is worth noting that the authors also included the cultural differences that were present in the British Army, and that we can develop technology tree in two ways, with emphasis on either its offensive or defensive aspects. In contrast to previous expansions, The British Forces features also a number of cosmetic improvements in graphics and animations as well as improved balance between various factions.

Pit People
March 2, 2018
Strategy, 2D, RPG Elements, Fantasy, Hotseat, Humorous, Indie Games, Internet, Co-op, Multiplayer, Singleplayer, Tactics, Turn-based.
A 2D tactical strategy game developed by The Behemoth - an independent American studio. The player is taken to an unusual universe which combines the features of classic fantasy with science-fiction; moreover, the entire adventure is filled with absurd humor. A story campaign constitutes the core of this experience - it can be completed either solo or in the co-op mode for two players. The gameplay as such has two branches here - on one hand, the player traverses the game world in real time, visiting different places (such as towns), taking quests from NPCs and gathering gold, as well as different items; on the other hand, the player fights turn-based battles on maps covered with hexes. Pit People distinguishes itself among other representatives of the genre by the presence of the narrator - this figure not only comments on the events on the screen, but also influences them in order to make the job of the player-controlled characters harder. Additionally, the game offers a competition-based mode for 4 players (two teams fight one another).

Gunpowder is a puzzle game set in the Wild West where players have to carefully plan and create an explosion. The game's plot loosely refers to the legend of Robin Hood. A rich businessman called Grimshaw intends to build a railway all the way through a small town, not caring about the fate of its citizens. A lone vigilante Incendio, equipped only with a barrel of gunpowder and his cunning, stands up for them. The game offers 150 diversified levels, each of them being split into 5 chapters. On each of them we will have to arrange and carefully create an explosion that will destroy Grimshaw's wealth and estates. Speeding trains and their carriages, mining carts, cannons, even fireflies, can work as a catalyst for our explosion. It creates many opportunities for the more creative players. The more creative we are, the more points we get. Gunpowder has colorful, cartoonish visuals and is filled with humor.
