Frozen Synapse 2
September 13, 2018
Strategy, Indie Games, Internet, Multiplayer, Singleplayer, Tactics, Turn-based.
A full-fledged continuation of a science-fiction turn-based strategy developed by Mode 7 Games. In its premise, Frozen Synapse 2 doesn’t differ much from what its predecessor offered, and focuses on combat using small units, emphasizing strategic planning. The main distinguishing element of the game (and the whole series) is the fact that the encounters are turn-based, but the players make their moves simultaneously, rather than alternately. This forces a completely different approach from the players, and keeps them on their toes when anticipating the next move of their enemy. In contrast to its predecessor, Frozen Synapse 2 has a much more open world, directly resulting in bigger maps, which has an utmost impact on the strategic layer of the game. The whole game is seen from a good old top-down view, and introduces a similar stern visual style, with a rather cold color palette.

A humorous top-down shooter created by the independent developer team at Team2Bit. The action takes place in 1986 when a mysterious organization kidnaps the leaders of the world's two main superpowers: Reagan and Gorbachev. With both the world peace and themselves being at risk, the two presidents have to put aside their differences and join forces, for only cooperation will allow them to escape and prevent a nuclear apocalypse. The gameplay mechanics are inspired by classic top-down shooters. The players’(playing either solo or in cooperation mode) task is to break through maps that are full of foes. Since the protagonists are not bulletproof, the key to success is to devise and apply an adequate strategy instead of mindlessly emptying the clips of their weapons. Reagan Gorbachev is supplemented with stealth sequences, and each level is designed in a way that allows the player(s) to complete it both the old-fashioned way and stealthily.

The remake is currently in development by Home Net Games, a small team led by Miroslaw Dymek, one of the co-creators of the original game. We are introduced to Mirko, a head of a small village which has been burned to the ground by a rivaling tribe. When it comes to mechanics, we are given a classic real-time strategy inspired by the cult-classic Warcraft. As a result, the player focuses on expanding his base and combat. Both goals require extended effort, including resource gathering, constructing buildings, or recruiting military forces and leading them in battle. Interestingly enough, the game’s economy is based on milk, which can be gathered from grazing cows.

If the tree is doing well, our tribe can continue to develop in peace. However, if we do not satisfy its needs, it may lead even to a restart of the server, after which we will have to start from the beginning.

An adventure horror game from Darkling Room studios, creators of the Last Crown series and the Dark Fall trilogy. Once again, we assume the role of Nigel Danvers, a researcher who devoted himself to supernatural cases. This time, he planned to spend Halloween investigating a haunted hotel in small port town. The story of The Last Crown: Midnight Horror draws inspiration from old tales and beliefs related to Celtic festival of Samhain. Even though we will meet old faces, the game has been polished as a standalone production, meaning that knowledge of events from previous titles of the series isn’t necessary. As far as game mechanics go, The Last Crown: Midnight Horrors is a classic adventure game, so we mainly explore locations, collect items and solve puzzles. Some of the latter require usage of authentic gadgets used by modern ghost hunters, while others come down to recreating old pagan rituals. The Last Crown: Midnight Horror stands out with its monochromatic style – for most of the time we are presented with black and white visuals.

A mobile adaptation of a popular board game by Uwe Rosenberg, developed by the German Digidiced.

Le Havre: The Inland Port allows you to play against the artificial intelligence or living opponents (in hot seat mode or via the Internet).

Zombie Match Defense
October 22, 2015
Puzzle, Strategic Elements, Match-3, Singleplayer, Tower Defense, Zombie.
A mobile "match-3" logic game enriched with strategy elements associated with the tower defense genre. Jake Sones, a former employee at Blizzard Entertainment, is the game's co-creator. The player's goal is to defend scientist against hordes of zombies. A path leads to each of the eggheads and several kinds of brains are distributed throughout it; these attract zombies that in turn, eat them. The player's task is to combine three identical brains into groups, which makes them disappear, and as a result, the same happens to zombies willing to eat them. Combining the brains together earns the player points that allow them to unleash different special powers, such as immobilizing the enemy for a specified period of time. The pace of gameplay in Zombie Match Defense is slow, however, for the zombies move only after the player does. On the other hand, the game is not easy and requires good planning. Zombie Match Defense offers hilarious visuals.

One Button Travel
November 26, 2015
Adventure, Puzzle Elements, Singleplayer.
A narrative puzzle-adventure game referred to as „interactive fiction”, developed by the team of The Coding Monkeys, known so far mostly for the logic game Rules! and the mobile adaptations of popular board games Carcassonne and Lost Cities. Plot of One Button Travel revolves around mysterious scientific discovery, that may, in the near future, revolutionize the lives of all human beings. However, in order for this breakthrough theory to become reality, it is necessary to travel a quite long, difficult road and unravel tons of mysteries and puzzles. The gameplay itself is rather difficult to classify, and reaching the finale of the story requires players to hold a number of interactive conversations and overcome numerous obstacles in form of fairly abstract logical challenges. The game is presented in a heavily experimental form and features minimalist artwork, accompanied by atmospheric soundtrack.
