Iron Harvest

“A real-time strategy game (RTS) set in the alternate reality of 1920+, just after the end of the Great War. The Game lets you control giant dieselpunk mechs, combining epic singleplayer and coop campaigns as well as skirmishes with intense action on the battlefield for multiplayer fans…

“Tradition clashes with scientific and technological progress, while Europe is still recovering from the brutal battles of the World War. Cities are being rebuilt and in the countryside, the era of the Iron Harvest has begun. Farmers are uncovering the remains of the majestic walking machines that had fought on the battlefields of the Great War.”

This came out today but seems like it’s still in a bit of beta. Some of the features listed on the Steam page are missing like co-op and some sections of the multiplayer. It seems like the single player campaign is quite good but definitely check the reviews carefully to make sure this is the game for you. 🙏

Despot’s Game

“A turn-based roguelike, an epic battle simulator, unexpected cultural references and an atmosphere of despotism in the far future.  In this game you need to help a bunch of helpless humans to get out of an insane labyrinth.  By a mysterious architect’s design you will be able to buy all kinds of things to use them as weapons: from an old fridge to a big non-humanoid robot.

“The fight is automatic, but the winner is determined by your decisions. Will it be the humans or the labyrinth’s monsters?  And by the way, keep track of your army’s hunger level: the fighters will have to eat each other, if you don’t stock enough supplies.”

John Wick Hex

A methodical turn-based strategy based on the characters of the movie and adding an unconnected chapter of the story before the start of the films.  Here’s about 20 minutes of gameplay from IGN to give you a feel for what the game is actually like.

I do really like the trailer, and I enjoyed editing it into a shorter loop.  However, I’ve come across a number of people that were confused about what type of game it is.  So if you are interested in an almost puzzle like John Wick experience then maybe this is for you, just do a little extra review research first. 🙃
