War of the Ring

Sierra

It was Sierra who took up the challenge, and now it is here; WAR OF THE RING, the first real-time strategy game (warcraft style) that’s based on JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. It includes all of the creatures, characters, and landscapes form the original novels! You just need to choose one of the opposing sides (will it be the forces of good, or will you succumb to Sauron's power?) and create your armies. The game is played in a 3D environment with an aerial view, which will require a good computer with an adequate video card. The experience is definitely worth it, as you'll enjoy one of the best soundtracks ever created for a game, as well as its Middle Earth setting. Some of its features: Two single player campaigns based on the plot: play as either the heroic Free Peoples of Middle Earth or as Sauron's diabolic minions. Take part in the most important battles and events of Middle Earth, such as the Battle of Helms Deep. Feel the effects of good and evil. The terrain is modified when the Free People's forces fight the corruption that is spread by Sauron's minions as they conquer Middle Earth. Amazing weather and lighting effects. The wind sweeps over plains and clouds darken the land, turning a bright and sunny day into a thunderstorm. Lead the Free Peoples of Middle Earth, such as Dwarves, Elves, and Humans. Head Sauron’s minions, including Orcs, Goblins and Trolls. Use amazing skills on the battlefield.

Infinite Crisis

Turbine

Infinite Crisis is a MOBA (a mix of strategy and role-playing) along the same lines as League of Legends or DOTA2, in which the players can control some of the DC universe's most iconic characters, such as Batman, Superman, or the Joker. The complete list of playable characters amounts to more than 25, with some classics such as the aforementioned Superman or the Joker, but there are also lesser-known characters such as Doomsday, Shazam, and Star Saphire. The story of Infinite Crisis is connected to a disaster between various DC universes, which means that you won't only meet the characters already mentioned, but also versions of those characters from different universes. In other words, you'll also be able to use Mecha Superman, Gaslight Joker, or Atomic Harley Quinn, among others. Infinite Crisis' game mechanics will be familiar to any aficionado of MOBAs. The players, organized into teams, will have to throw themselves into the attack in order to finish off the opposing team, all the while improving skills and earning experience. In addition, you'll have to use drones and combat turrets to help you, and watch out for the 'power ups' that can give you an advantage. Visually, Infinite Crisis is pretty good, in part thanks to the excellent character design offered by the game, as well as the incredible detail of the scenes, which includes destroyable elements and references for DC aficionados. Infinite Crisis is an excellent MOBA that, thanks to fun and dynamic mechanics and striking scenes, will manage to hook not only DC aficionados, but also any aficionado of the genre.

Dwelvers

Rasmus Ljunggren

Dwelvers is a real time strategy and management game in which you need to manage a dungeon full of monsters by building it from the ground up. You'll expand from a cavern by digging and breaking stone, not to mention taking out any enemies you run into along the way. You'll create different types of rooms to satisfy the needs of your creature inhabitants. For example, you'll need bedrooms and dining rooms to attract goblins, but later on you'll also want to create recreational rooms, torture dungeons, and libraries to attract new types of creatures. In addition to the rooms created for your creatures, you can build different types of traps and decorations for the dungeon. This helps you personalize your lair for your creatures, who you need to motivate to fight on your side. In fact, if you can't keep them happy, they may abandon you at any time. Dwelvers stands out graphically. Considering it's an independent game, its three-dimensional models are quite impressive, and it has an attractive look in general. Dwelvers is a great strategy game that takes all the best from the classic Dungeon Keeper, with none of its downsides (which, to be fair, it didn't have in the first place).

Conquests

N/A

Conquests is a turn-based strategy game along the same lines as Civilization; in it, players will put themselves at the helm of one of ten available civilizations and lead it towards world conquest...or at least to survive over the course of the centuries. Gameplay is almost identical to other similar games, such as FreeCiv or C-Evo, both also available on Uptodown. Basically, players have to build cities and manage them while taking into account factors such as population, labor, money, etc. Once a city is founded, you have to build different types of buildings or recruit units in order to continue improving. You will also need to build military units to defend your civilization from attacks from your rivals; or, if you deem necessary, to attack other civilizations with your units. You can thus occupy their cities and keep their resources. An average game on Conquests can last about ten hours, but they'll be ten hours of pure strategy in which you must take all elements from your civilization into account to make the most of them. Conquests is a truly fascinating 4X real time strategy game which will especially appeal to fans of the Civilization saga.

Midgard Saga

N/A

Midgard Saga is a SRPG in which players control a group of four Nordic adventurers who embark on a rampage of pillaging to end all others, looting everything in their path as they travel from the land of the humans in Midgard to the realm of the gods in Asgard. At the beginning of each encounter, players have to choose which abilities their units will use. Each of the four heroes has his own, exclusive abilities. For example, the wizard can call forth lightning, while the warrior is able to launch a whirlwind attack with his axes. The combats are turn-based, and when it is your turn, you can carry out two actions with each of your characters, whether that be moving them two times, attacking twice, or moving once and attacking once. After that, it is your enemy's turn, and he can do the same thing with his unit. Midgard Saga is a very enjoyable role and strategy game, which offers a gameplay which is typically found in console games and which is rarely present in PC games. In addition, it has outstanding graphics and enchanting character design, which shines particularly well due to the Unreal Engine.
