  • Turn-based combat

A tactical roguelike in the spirit of FTL and Mad Max: lead a convoy of combat vehicles across a wasteland, face random radio-signal encounters, and scavenge parts to repair your crashed ship.

Phoenix Point

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics game in the XCOM tradition where you lead a resistance organization against mutating alien horrors. It stands out for its free-aim shooting with targetable body parts, faction diplomacy on the world map, and enemies that evolve in response to your tactics.

Skyshine's Bedlam

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where you lead a squad of survivors and machines, manage resources and fight tough battles. Its appeal lies in harsh decisions and tactical combat.

X-COM: UFO Defense

Turn-based combat

The legendary tactics classic pairs tense turn-based squad missions against aliens with global base building, research and tight budget management. Soldiers die permanently, and every strategic decision can save or doom humanity.

X-COM: Terror From the Deep

Turn-based combat

The notoriously punishing sequel to UFO Defense moves the alien war to the ocean depths, combining base building and research with turn-based squad missions against Lovecraftian sea horrors. Its creepy atmosphere and brutal difficulty made it a cult classic.

Raiders! Forsaken Earth

Dark, serious atmosphere

You lead a ruthless band of marauders in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, managing your gang and extorting, kidnapping and raiding in turn-based fashion. A grim blend of management, strategy and sandbox play where you are deliberately the villain.

Shadow Empire

Challenging difficulty

A very complex turn-based wargame set on a procedurally generated post-apocalyptic planet, where you lead a fledgling state and juggle logistics, politics, economy and warfare. Its blend of 4X, hex-based tactics and RPG elements for leaders and officers gives it enormous depth.
