Review by Matt S. Crush Your Enemies is yet another effort at giving the Nintendo Switch a simplified “casual” strategy experience, just in case the recently-released Mushroom Wars 2 and Element weren’t enough for you. Wrapped up in a blanket of juvenile humour, Crush Your Enemies is passingly fun, but…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Mushroom Wars 2 is a delight. Designed around accessibility and simplicity, it is in principle a real-time strategy (RTS), but nothing like Starcraft or Command & Conquer, which people usually associate with the term. Rather, it’s the kind of game that anyone, at any level of…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Publisher, Raw Fury and developer Plausible Concept, have announced a new game, Bad North. Bad North bills itself as a “real time tactics roguelite,” and while I’ve become instantly wary of any game calling itself a “roguelike” (most developers don’t seem to have actually played Rogue),…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. The SpellForce series has always been an interesting one. On one hand you have an RPG adventure with quests and exploration, while on the other you have and RTS. Using elements of both, this series has provided unique challenges as your party can level up and…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. It wasn’t so long ago that it would have been completely unthinkable to put a game like Sudden Strike 4 on console. The conventional wisdom was that there was no way a game controller could possibly do an adequate job with the RTS genre, particularly those…
Read MoreRetro reflections by Matt S. With the Super Nintendo Mini being announced this week, I thought I’d take a look back on a game that will never appear on that console’s list of games. It’s a game that has been all but forgotten, and will likely never be resurrected. It’s…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. Ask one of your mates about Warhammer and at the very least, you’ll probably get a response that’s a half-hearted “Oh yeah, Space Marines.” It’s rare that you’ll find someone who has absolutely no clue about what the franchise is, and that’s because by some miracle…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Castle Battles is as casual as strategy games come. You’ve seen what this game offers, more or less, many times before, and, on a platform such as the iPad, which already has a glut of both casual and serious strategy games, this is going to struggle…
