Brings what grabs you about Shieldwall: plenty of humour, tactical depth and gameplay over story.

A fast, stripped-down real-time strategy game starring foul-mouthed, over-the-top barbarians and plenty of British-style humor. Short matches and minimal management make for easy-to-pick-up fun, including multiplayer.

Astérix: The Gallic War

Lots of humour

A light-hearted strategy-action hybrid set in the Asterix universe, where you lead Asterix, Obelix and the Gauls to reclaim territories from the Romans.

The Bluecoats: North & South

Lots of humour

You return with Sergeant Chesterfield and Corporal Blutch and switch between turn-based strategy on the map and fast real-time action battles. This remaster brings the late-1980s Amiga cult classic to modern platforms with its tongue-in-cheek humor intact.

Praetorians

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A real-time strategy game set in ancient Rome where you lead small squads of troops through Egypt, Gaul and Italy. Its appeal lies in formations, terrain and combining unit types cleverly rather than in base building.

Cannon Fodder

A party of several characters

A real-time tactical shooter where you lead a small squad of soldiers through missions using just the mouse. Its black humour and anti-war message, symbolised by the growing hill of graves, make it unforgettable.

Samurai Warriors 4: Empires

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Samurai Warriors 4: Empires lets you conquer feudal Japan by mixing sweeping hack-and-slash battles with strategic empire management. You command officers, weigh their advice, and carve out your own path to unification.

Bladestorm: Nightmare

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You command huge medieval battles of the Hundred Years' War, switching between individual units to direct whole armies in real time. The Nightmare scenario adds dragons and cyclops to the chaos.

Medieval Battle: Europe

Gameplay comes before story

You fight medieval battles across Europe and lead your troops to victory in a strategy format. A fairly modest, historically flavored war game for fans of battlefield planning.
