real time strategy

I’ll always root for a little guy, especially if there’s a good idea on display. Shieldwall is a tactical battle simulator that uses a comedic set of characters to lighten the mood. Nezon Productions are a very tiny team and it’s unfortunate that this size has produced a game with […]

Real time strategy is a genre I’ve spent a long time away from. Being mostly a console gamer, I just don’t tend to cross paths with what tactical offerings they can bring. With a fresh set of controller bindings, The Valiant looks to transition onto the Playstation 5. Kite Games […]
