Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault
November 18, 2014
Strategy, World War II, RTS, Singleplayer, War Strategy, Tactics.
The second stand-alone expansion for Company of Heroes 2, the game developed in 2013 by the Relic Entertainment studio. As the subtitle of the add-on suggests, in the game we return to the Western Front of World War II during the famous German counter-offensive in the Ardennes. In contrast to the first expansion that focused on multiplayer mode, this time the developers decided to concentrate on the single player campaign. During 18 subsequent missions telling a single, coherent story we take charge of the American units fighting against the forces of Nazi Germany. Game develops dynamically depending on our decisions, and the key to success is to gain experience, plan tactically and wisely manage a very limited supply of people and equipment. Technical aspects of the game remained unchanged, but the developers decided to introduce three new American companies with unique officers.

You can also test your tracks yourself, by steering the rollercoaster in the arcade mode. The game features fully destructible environment and advanced physics, apparent in e.g. the spectacular results of your less successful experiments.

A Squad Based Action RTS, which, according to the developers’ ambitions, is to become the modern version of the legendary 1998 Myth. This inspiration is clearly visible in the spectacular battles set in a dark fantasy world. In the game, the player can become a leader of one of the available factions, such as the Norse Empire, goblins, and ice giants, but doesn't have to develop their base or worry about resources. The army one gets to command can comprise various units – e.g. warriors, rangers, sappers, and medics. The key to success lies in the ability to use this army along with a set of units’ special abilities and the elements of the environment. As the players progress through the story, they acquire experience points, which can be spent on new abilities and the so-called relics, allowing one access to magical powers. The game offers several modes and focuses mostly on the multiplayer experience.

Action, Fantasy, Singleplayer, TPP, The Lord of The Rings.
The Bright Lord is the second DLC to Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor developed by Monolith Productions. The expansion takes us to the distant past where we play as Celebrimbor. Remembering how much the Dark Lord hurt his family, Celerbrimor declares war on Sauron and tries to stop him from getting his hands on the Ring of Power. Unlike Talion, the protagonist of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - The Bright Lord can use the power of the One Ring. He can use it to mind control his enemies, force them to attack their allies, and even become invisible. All of those things provide us with many possible tactical approaches to combat. Moreover, Celebrimbor is a much better archer. The Bright Lord requires the base game to be playable.

In the game, we assume the role of a homeless boy named Alto who discovers that the watch he owns is inhabited by a creature of great power that is willing to help rebuild the old order. In this way, Alto embarks on a grand adventure that involves solving puzzles, fighting enemies, and manipulating the spacetime.

Legacy Quest

RPG, Crafting, Arcade Elements, Fantasy, Internet, Multiplayer, Roguelike, Action RPG, Singleplayer.
A roguelike action RPG developed by Socialspiel Entertainment together with the established Nexon company. In Legacy Quest, we lead a team of brave warriors who explore a typical fantasy land full of dungeons and with a myriad of enemies to defeat. The game is played from an isometric view, and the gameplay resembles a typical hack ‘n’ slash production, focusing on elimination of hordes of enemies with the use of purely arcade combat model. What’s interesting, we can create each party member, as well as the vast majority of their equipment, from scratch, using an extensive crafting system. The game does not lack for a typical character development system, but, as befits a roguelike title, death is permanent for all heroes. If one of them perishes, his or her equipment is also gone. However, it stays in the game world and can be found and used by other players.
