Warside is a love letter to classic turn-based tactics games like Advance Wars. You pick a Commander with a distinct playstyle, deploy units across varied terrain, and use powerful special abilities, with a story campaign on top.

Into the Breach

Turn-based combat

Compact turn-based tactics where three mechs defend cities from giant kaiju-like aliens. Every enemy attack is telegraphed in advance, so each turn plays like a tightly designed chess puzzle with roguelike runs and time-travel resets.

Frozen Synapse

Turn-based combat

Frozen Synapse is a tactical strategy game where you plan your squad's orders and both sides execute their turns simultaneously. You predict enemy moves in a sleek neon-minimal look, making every round a tense, puzzle-like duel of wits.

Worms 4: Mayhem

Turn-based combat

Worms 4: Mayhem is a turn-based artillery tactics game where you lead a team of quirky worms armed with absurd weapons across destructible 3D maps. Its slapstick humor and chaotic multiplayer matches are the main draw.

Pokémon Showdown

Turn-based combat

A browser-based Pokémon battle simulator where you face other players online, using either random teams or ones you build yourself. The focus is purely on team-building and outguessing your opponent, with no story or catching.

Invisible, Inc.

Turn-based combat

A turn-based stealth tactics game where you guide a small team of agents through procedurally generated corporate facilities while a ticking clock pressures you. Every move matters, since mistakes can permanently cost you agents.

Gambonanza

Challenging difficulty

A chess-themed roguelike where you combine over 100 Gambits and piece synergies to build explosive combos. Every move matters and rewards clever planning.

Atlas Reactor

Challenging difficulty

A 4v4 tactical game where both teams plan their moves simultaneously and then watch them resolve in phases. It rewards predicting opponents' intentions and coordinating abilities as a team.

Metal Slug Tactics

Turn-based combat

The arcade classic Metal Slug becomes a turn-based tactics roguelite: you position your squad on grid maps, exploit dodging and chain attacks, and craft new builds each run. The charming pixel art and slapstick war tone remain intact.

Worms Forts: Under Siege

Turn-based combat

A turn-based Worms spin-off where you build and defend forts with your team of worms while smashing the enemy's stronghold using weapons and turrets. Quirky humor and multiplayer matches take center stage.
