Dark Future: Blood Red States
May 16, 2019
Strategy, Arcade Elements, Games Workshop, Board & Card, Post-apocalypse, Cars, Singleplayer, Tactics.
An original turn-based strategy created by Auroch Digital. Blood Red States is an adaptation of a board game known as Dark Future and released in 1988 by Games Workshop. The players are taken to a post-apocalyptic world destroyed as a result of a global cataclysm. Well-armed squads known as Sanctioned Ops serve the role of law enforcement now, patrolling the ruined roads and highways. Assuming the roles of the squads' leaders, the players take part in spectacular chases, going after various mobsters and gang members. The experience was based on an unusual pattern, as the gameplay is turn-based and the sides give orders to their units at the same time; afterwards, they observe several seconds of real-time action, when their orders are being executed. The key to success here is not only to react to the opponent's actions, but also to predict their moves and initiate risky maneuvers that can tip the balance in favor of the player's victory.

Strategy, 2D, Indie Games, Singleplayer, Stealth, Tactics.
A brutal action game in retro style, developed as a commercial edition of a project for Global Game Jam. The title was created by an independent studio PinoklGames from Ukraine. During the game you assume the role of a man who is clearly dissatisfied with his neighbors disrupting the quiet night hours and decides to seek revenge against them. Instead of calling the cops, the protagonist joins one of the night parties in order to brutally murder every guest. The action takes place in a procedurally-generated house of the neighbors, in which you need to kill your victims. To avoid attracting the interest of the police and other guests, you have to lure your targets to isolated places and skilfully kill them, e.g. fake an accident. What makes the title difficult is the fact that you have to cleverly take advantage of your prey and remain undetected for as long as possible.

Strategy, Economic, Grand Strategy, Internet, Multiplayer, RTS, Singleplayer, War Strategy, The Middle Ages.
The ninth expansion for Crusader Kings II, a strategy game by Paradox Interactive. Similarly to the vanilla version, Horse Lords is set in the Middle Ages. This time around, it focuses on two nomadic tribes that had a major influence on the shape of the contemporary world: Mongols and Tatars. Contrary to the previously available nations, they require a lot of space and have to stay in motion. Management of the new factions is based on having a specific clan policy that forces players to divide groups that have grown to big and having defeated enemy leaders swear a blood oath. Apart from these novelties, Horse Lords introduces a reworked user interface, over a hundred challenges, a map of Central Asia, the possibility of building forts, and tributes the paying of which we can force upon conquered provinces. Horse Lords also implements the Silk Road, which can provides considerable trade income if controlled.
