In Magic: The Gathering Arena, you can unlock 15 unique decks, each of which can be suited to your style of play. If you play every day, you'll earn rewards to help you expand your collection more easily. Once you've mastered the AI and the main game mechanics, you can start fighting against real people.

You can choose to be in any of the five continents and in dozen of different countries. Once you have chosen where you want to start, you need a name for your businessman and, more importantly, a name and a logo for your company. Once you have chosen them, you can sit in your office and start directing the company. In GearCity you will have to control a number of different factors, ranging from establishing factories and assembly lines in different parts of the world to designing the very vehicles that you will be selling. From the very beginning, you must be clear about what your 'target' is so that you can adjust your prices and, above all, not lose out to the competition, which will always be fierce. GearCity is a very full-featured strategy game that actually has so many different possibilities that you might feel overwhelmed.

King of Dragon Pass

A Sharp, LLC

King of Dragon Pass is a role-playing, strategy, management and adventure game set in Glorantha (the world of HeroQuest and RuneQuest), where you have to guide your clan on the good path, whether that means crushing all of your enemies or simply peacefully surviving. The game is divided in several parts with distinct mechanics. For example, you'll pass a bit of time managing relations between your clan and neighboring clans, which can be done through a series of pretty intuitive menus where you can choose exactly what you want to do. However, it will also be common that you'll go through events that you'll have to resolve with classic games of "choose your own adventure": choosing the option that you consider correct from a series of possibilities. The best part of the game, of course, is the enormous quantity of background behind the story that it tells, which if your English is good enough will amaze you. As you can see from the images, the game doesn't have traditionally "outstanding graphics", but that everything is made up of static illustrations. The style used, of course, is not only quite good, but it also perfectly fits with the feel of the game. King of Dragon Pass is a great game that is independently capable of giving you hours and hours of fun. Of course, you will need a good knowledge of English and a lot of patience to enjoy it, as it is not a very accessible game.

Galactic Civilizations II

Stardock

Galactic Civilizations II is a turn-based strategy game where your aim is to bring your race total domination over the galaxy by any means possible. In other words, it's very similar to the Civilization saga except on a much bigger scale. The first thing to do is decide which race to begin playing with. Obviously you can choose humans, but you'll find more than a dozen different options available, each with its respective advantages and inconveniences. Also, in case none of them is convincing, you can always create your own race from scratch. Once you have your empire, it'll be time to start on your conquest. This process might (and should) be pretty slow. Depending on your playing style, you might be interested in building a fleet of formidable spaceships that you can use to flatten enemies, make friends with the other races in order to win a political victory, or simply evolve enough to leave all the others behind. Regardless of your approach to the game, each round will be different from the previous one. This is in part due to the huge number of variables you can play with, which range from building different structures on your planets or establishing interplanetary commercial routes to discovering ancient ruins or making unexpected advances in the technology tree. Galactic Civilizations II is an enormous and very dense strategy game. Before you start playing, it's not just advisable but probably crucial to read the instruction manual and watch tutorials of the game. It'll be worth your while once you get the hang of it, though.

Micronations

N/A

Micronations is a 3D strategy and management game where players have to build their own city starting basically from scratch. You start with nothing more than a house, and on it you'll have to expand your domain. Players have dozens of elements available for expanding their city. The first and most basic are highways, of which you'll have different types depending on where you want to construct them. Once you've created a good network of roads you can start raising all types of buildings: different kinds of housing, leisure venues, shopping malls, farms, and offices buildings. You can build all these buildings and elements with just a click of the mouse. And maybe this is Micronations' main problem: that building anything new is no harder than clicking on a free space on the map. Micronations is a very entertaining real-time management game that also includes very solid 3D graphics. Its main problem is that it doesn't have well-defined playability, meaning there are no objectives for winning... nor any possibility of losing.

UnCiv

Yair Morgenstern

UnCiv is an open source turn-based strategy game that's based on the brilliant Civilization franchise (or, more specifically, on the saga's fifth installment). The game, as the screenshots show, has graphics closer to that of the second or third installment, but as soon as you start playing, you'll recognize almost all the controls and concepts from the fifth one (which is still very popular to this day). Your mission in UnCiv is to create the best civilization in history by founding cities, managing your resources, eliminating threats, and using diplomacy. When you start a new game, it's a good idea to start by exploring your surroundings to recognize the nearest threats and the best opportunities. After that, try to expand your territory and, over time, create a prosperous empire. Needless to say, UnCiv is a relatively complex game that, while familiar to any veteran of the Civilization saga, may be somewhat complicated for those who have never played any of its installments. Players have to manage concepts and controls as diverse as diplomacy with other civilizations, the technology tree, the development of cities, the adoption of new policies, and much more. Fortunately, the game has a tutorial to guide you through all these processes. UnCiv is a great open source version of a classic video game. This is a completely free and ad-free game that will delight fans of the genre. In a nutshell, this is an absolutely outstanding title that takes up only 80MB and can be played on virtually any modern computer. It's a real treat for fans of turn-based strategy and 4X.

The Cursed

Geoffrey Huntley

The Cursed is a real-time strategy game geared towards multiplayer duels that uses the famous open source engine Spring to present a battle in which demons, the undead and space marines face off. There are two main groups: the cursed, which include demons, zombies, bone dragons and werewolves, and the Imperial Guard, which is almost entirely comprised of human beings, but which has more advanced and lethal technology to rely on. The battles in The Cursed are usually pretty fast, no longer than twenty minutes, with a relatively simple progression. First, you will have to create an operating base for your units, as well as collect the only resources available (energy and metal). You can use these resources to create new buildings and units. The Cursed is a real-time strategy game that is geared towards combat. Control is pushed to the background to put emphasis on the battles between space marines and supernatural creatures.

Forgotten Myths

Anchora Games, Dream Harvesters

Forgotten Myths is a multiplayer collectable card game where you can face off against tons of rivals, both human and AI, using decks of cards.

And, of course, you can always access the battle arena to fight against players from around the world. The combat system used in Forgotten Myths is very similar to others in the same genre, like Magic: the Gathering. Players need to play energy cards to later be able to use both creatures and spells. Creatures are placed in one of the spaces on the card table in such a way that if they are not facing an enemy creature, they will deliver direct damage to the opposing player. Players can build their own decks by buying new cards with currency obtained from battles. And, if you want, you can buy packs of cards with real money, although that is completely optional. Forgotten Myths is a free multiplayer card game that offers different playing modes, addictive gameplay, and thoughtfully-made graphics. It's a game that any fan of the genre should look into.

atWar

Dave

atWar is a turn-based strategy game along the lines of Risk and Civilization in which you have to conquer your rivals using Planet Earth as your battlefield. That said, there are lots of different maps in different sizes (the whole world, Asia, Europe, USA, etc.), which gives the game a good amount of variety. In contrast to other games like Risk, your units move freely over the map depending on their movement range, not by blocks. This means that while an infantry unit can take several turns to get from one point to the other, planes will take just one. Battles are carried out in simultaneous turns, so no side has an advantage. This is very important if you consider that atWar is played on the Internet against people from all over the world in turns that can take from two minutes to 24 hours. Thanks to this simultaneous turns system, you can organize battles that can last from a couple of hours (short turns of just a few minutes), to wars that can be prolonged for weeks (turns that take up an entire day). Apart from all the maps that are available from the beginning, the game has an editor that lets you create new maps and units (although there are already hundreds of them available). Thanks to this, the possibilities are almost endless. atWar is an outstanding turn-based strategy game. Although it can seem complicated at first, it has enough depth to satisfy the most demanding fans of turn-based strategy.

You can even expand your borders to accommodate the largest and most important buildings, allowing you to collect more resources or recruit more soldiers.

These attacks between empires will happen on the world map, where you can see the castles of other players and launch military campaigns against strongholds controlled by the AI. Goodgame Empire is a social strategy game that offers hundreds of different events and many exciting situations that you will have to overcome with the help of your troops. The graphics are also very well done.

Teleglitch

N/A

Teleglitch is a roguelike quite different from those you're probably used to in this genre in that gameplay does not happen in turns nor are the graphics created from text. That said, its hellish level of difficulty and the randomness of its scenes will prove its primary identifying features. The game is set in an abandoned military base whose only inhabitants are the main character, armed with a simple pistol and very few bullets, as well as loads of bloodthirsty creatures that won't think twice about flinging themselves at you to kill you. Your aim is to escape from the complex, composed of 10 random levels that will get increasingly difficult. Luckily in Teleglitch you'll have an arsenal of more than 40 weapons or objects to help you get out alive. The best thing about these objects, in fact, is that you can combine to create new weapons. That is, you can create your own defenses with the junk you find on the scene. Teleglitch is a frenetic game combining roleplay with horror and intense action. That said, the game is very hard and might not appeal to all audiences.

In Plain Sight

Craig Oates

In Plain Sight is an action and stealth game where you play a character whose son has been kidnapped from the hospital where he was checked in. A mysterious phone calls gives you the first clue in your search for him. From that point on, your mission is to infiltrate an enemy base, which is protected by lots of soldiers, security cameras, mechanized devices ... and scientists. Your most important move consists of knocking down enemies (from behind), and then disguising with their outfits. Like this you can remain unseen in most situations, although you still have to be careful with some of the electronic devices. The most important thing, on the other hand, is to avoid the enemy's field of vision while you hack computers, which is another important part of the game. In Plain Sight is an entertaining stealth game with great graphics. The biggest letdown is that it's too short: just 20 minutes.

Crasleen: Drums of War

Crasleen Games

Crasleen: Drums of War is a turn-based strategy game with a touch of role-playing, where you will participate in a war between humans, orcs and undead from different points of view within the conflict. The first campaign of the two available in this version of the game sets you at the head of the orc army which, led by general Tharshan, will try to massacre all of its enemies. Of course, you can count on the help of other units, like goblin archers, a calvary of orc pigs, and many more. If two campaigns for one player weren't enough, Crasleen: Drums of War includes a 'hotseat' mode in which two players can enjoy the same game at the same time by playing in turns. One person makes a move, and then the other, with the objective of finishing off all of the other's units. Crasleen: Drums of War is a fun strategy role-playing game that, despite lacking a little in the graphics department, offers up an entertaining game that should delight any fan of franchises like Heroes of Might and Magic.
