Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector Review

Developed by Black Lab Games and Published by Slitherine Ltd. We have Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. It is said that Black Lab Games and Slitherine Ltd, are trying to bring the new era of 40K to gaming. But just how well can this be done? Especially with so many Warhammer titles available. Is this just another Warhammer title to add to the collection? This is my first time playing a Warhammer title on the PC. I have heard so many mixed reviews about them. I am curious as to how I will find it, Considering I am totally outside of the Warhammer 40K world now and have been for over 20 years. Gameplay So let's start with the campaign storyline, for me, it wasn't the most gripping. However, having said that I don't feel like I need the storyline to be absolutely epic in turn-based strategy...

Fort Triumph Review

Developed and published by CookieByte Entertainment, Fort Triumph is a fantasy-style turn-based strategy game. Released on the 13th of August 2021 for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. You are tasked with leading a band of heroes with different skill sets through a witty, parody fantasy plot. Missions with various objectives are waiting for you on tiled procedural maps—whether in story mode or skirmish. So prepare yourself in this Fort Triumph Xbox One Review. Fort Triumph - Lord of the Rings Meets XCOM I always get a little excited when I see that a game has taken inspiration from the juggernaut that is XCOM. Also on the other hand I just think that it's going to be just another clone. But these types of games are always aliens or have a space theme. It's interesting to see ...

Jupiter Hell Review

Welcome to my review of Jupiter Hell, which is available now on PC via Steam and GOG! Brought to us by developers ChaosForge (Doom The Roguelike) and publishers Hyperstrange (Postal: Brain Damaged, Frozenheim). What Jupiter Hell can promise is that it's a roguelike turn-based strategy game like no other! Jupiter Hell - Not For The Faint Of Heart! Will I survive the hordes of demonic forces? Or will I fail and hit that eternal permadeath wall? If you enjoy this review, please feel free to check out my previous preview here, where I played Draft of Darkness. Gameplay As with most games, we start off with a pretty basic tutorial that teaches us the basics of the game. The game quickly teaches us that it is a turn-based strategy game that is set on a grid format, with permadeath. That's ri...

Red Solstice 2: Survivors Review

Fresh from the loins of devs Ironward Games and published by 505 Games, Red Solstice 2: Survivors is one heck of a futuristic blood bath! Falling into the real-time top-down tactical genre there is a real feel for this sequel of a mash between Diablo and Xcom 2. The number of times I died I really want to add Cannon Fodder to that list. Red Solstice 2: Survivors - Real-Time XCOM I couldn't wait to see how this game played having heard a few good things from fellow writers. Time to blast some zombie mutant aliens! If you like what you see, remember to give us a like, share and follow so that you don't miss out on all things TC! Gameplay The year is 117 AE (After Earth). With a virus threatening to end mankind (sounding familiar?) it is down to you and your squad to fight mutants...
