I’m a huge fan of strategy games that can keep me occupied for hours and days on end. Legends of Eisenwald was something of a curiosity as it finds itself different to both turned-based strategy titles such as Heroes of Might and Magic, or the various tactics games and 4X…
Read MoreFruitbat Factory is giving us a very good reason to keep the PlayStation 3 under our TVs for a while yet. Eiyuu Senki, a strategy JRPG, is looking better and better every time we see more of it. For those that don’t know the history behind this game, Eiyuu Senki,…
Read MoreAussie developer, Whale Hammer Games, has some big shoes to fill with its upcoming strategy RPG, Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire. Promising an epic, sweeping story and gorgeous hand drawn art, it’s easy to see where Tahira’s appeal would lie. The game is still in a very early development…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Australia’s Torus Games is a specialist in licensed games. Over its long history (which has extended as far back as the original Game Boy), the studio hasn’t been responsible for what you could call classic games, but it has done a better job than many other…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. From what I’ve heard of Stoic’s The Banner Saga, I had been expecting a deep turn based strategy focused on heroism and triumphant battles. Never have I been more wrong. The Nordic-themed fantasy world of The Banner Saga is a bitter one wracked by both political…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. Battle Academy 2 is fantastic. That’s no surprise; the first Battle Academy was fantastic, and the sequel is more of the same.
