Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War

Tactical depth

A turn-based 4X strategy game in the Warhammer 40,000 universe where you lead Space Marines, Orks, Necrons or the Astra Militarum across a contested planet. Each faction plays very differently, with its own units, heroes and tech tree.

Xenonauts

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics and strategy game set in the Cold War, where you run a multinational military force against an alien invasion, command squads on the ground, intercept UFOs and research captured tech. A modern homage to classic X-COM.

Strike Team Gladius

Turn-based combat

A turn-based sci-fi tactical RPG where you build a team and fight missions on an alien planet, backed by armored vehicles and combat mechs. Combat feels like a tabletop game, while character growth borrows from dungeon crawlers.

Galaxy Squad

Turn-based combat

A turn-based sci-fi tactics game inspired by FTL and XCOM. You lead a small squad through tough fights where careful planning of resources and positioning is key.

Mech Armada

Turn-based combat

Turn-based tactics meets deckbuilding and roguelike structure: you build a team of mechs as a deck and defend Earth against the Swarm in compact, tense battles.

Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares

Tactical depth

A classic turn-based 4X space strategy game where you explore the galaxy, colonize planets, research technology and fight tactical starship battles against rival races. Deep empire management and custom ship design have made it a cult favourite.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Turn-based combat

Turn-based tactical battles against alien invaders where cover, positioning and class abilities decide the outcome. Between missions you manage your base, research and funding, and fallen soldiers are gone for good.

Menace
