Heroes of Might & Magic III: HD Edition

Strategy 29 January 2015

A remastered edition of one of the most well-received installments of the legendary Heroes of Might & Magic series, created for the 15th anniversary of the game's original release and the 20th anniversary of the franchise.

The contents of the HD edition are the same as the base game (no expansions included) and consist of 7 story campaigns (about 50 maps in total), a skirmish mode and a functional editor. Compared to the original, the key changes are the upgraded wide-screen-compatible HD visuals.

Strategy canceled

Order of Battle: World War II is a classic turn-based strategy set during WWII, and a debut game by a studio from Luxemburg, called The Aristocrats. The game was initially supposed to be released as a standalone title called Order of Battle: Pacific, but around a year into the production it was decided that it should become a free-to-play game – on the same occasion, the title has been changed. The title combines old-school mechanics, based on games such as Panzer General, with modern 3D graphics. The gameplay is conducted in a turn-based system on typical hexagons. The game, along with its expansions, provides hundreds of units with unique specialties, realistic yet approachable support system and a plethora of legendary commanders providing different bonuses for their armies. In the base version of the game, there is one training camp, serving as a tutorial, and one scenario from each available DLC.

Warbits
Warbits

Strategy 13 April 2016

A mobile strategy game featuring a turn-based combat system. It was developed by the Risky Lab studio. The action is set in the near future when humans agreed on wars being a method of solving disputes that is simply too expensive. As a result, all military conflicts were transferred into virtual reality in order for special war simulators to replace actual warfare. The game is based on mechanics of classic turn-based strategies, featuring a simple combat system which nonetheless, offers a large number of applicable tactics. The game features a relatively small number of units balanced following the rock-paper-scissors pattern. However, each of them is very different from the rest and irreplaceable in combat. Warbits offers both a single-player campaign and multiplayer competition online or in the so-called hot seat mode. The game stands out with simplistic, but also incredibly colorful cartoonish visuals.
