Tower of Guns PC

Release Date: Mar 4, 2014

• Developer: Terrible Posture Games

• Summary: 
• Tower of Guns is a fast paced first-person-shooter for the twitch gamer... with a few randomized elements to keep it fresh with each playthrough.
• 
  

A fairly hard fps rogue-like, very enjoyable and quite impressive for a one man dev project.

Only negatives I have about the game at themoment is no multiplayer and the collections don't tell you what they do.

Joe the dev is active on his forum and interacting with the community which is nice to see, and the humor also reminds me of portal.

I expected an indie fps rogue-like and I got one, I'd be interested to see what kind of game Joe makes next.

Now you didn't see me hunt these hug-bots for loot.

Escape Goat 2 PC

• Release Date: Mar 24, 2014
• Developer: MagicalTimeBean
• 
  
• Summary: 
• Escape Goat 2 is a puzzle platformer game where you use machinery, the environment, and a friendly mouse to progress through a dungeon.
• 
  

• I absolutely loved Escape Goat, and I am happy to see more of it now. Escape Goat 2 is basically more of the same, which is not a bad thing. It offers a nice balance of platforming and solving intelligent puzzles. The controls and mechanics are just great. Really nothing to complain about here.
• 
  
• The difficulty is very low in the first few levels and always gets a little higher from level to level. Nobody should have any problems getting into the game. And yet it is quite challenging later on. Escape Goat 1 offered some high difficulty levels after beating the campaign. I expect the successor to offer the same (I didn't finish it yet, so I just can assume it will).
• 
  
• The main difference to the first part is the graphics style. Instead of the basic pixel art we got in Escape Goat 1, this game now uses a new high definition graphics style, which many people will like. I personally prefer the old art style, but I am fine with either of them. The most important thing for me is, that the controls didn't change at all. Despite the new graphics the game feels absolutely like the first part. Not all games manage to do that.
• 
  
• I like it a lot. Both Escape Goat games are real indie gems. You will enjoy your time.

Wargame: Red Dragon PC

Release Date: Apr 17, 2014

• Developer: Eugen Systems
• 
  

Summary: 

The Wargame series returns to duty, larger, richer and more spectacular than ever before. In Wargame Red Dragon, you are engaged in a large-scale conflict where Western forces clash against the Communist bloc.

This game is incredible. The graphics have been enhanced immensely and the game looks incredible. The new units and the ships are very fun to play and add a new dimension to the game.

The old spam tactics from Airland battle are completely gone now due to the many new changes to the units, the mechanics, and the balance.

The game is even more tactical and the large maps add a whole new strategic dimension to the game.

The new factions are all unique in their own way and add alot of character to the game.

The best strategy game without any doubt since both multiplayer and single player are now extremely fun and provide many many hours of gameplay.

The best RTS on the market!

Warlock 2: The Exiled PC

• Release Date: Apr 10, 2014
• Developer: Paradox Interactive
• 
  
• Summary: 
• Warlock 2 is a turn-based strategy game of fantasy warfare. Rival against Great Mages, lead mighty armies into fierce battles, wield ancient magic, use cunning diplomacy and faith as your weapons. Experience the challenge in single or multiplayer.

Warlock 2 is a challenging game and gives a enjoyable experience to players. It's a riveting game to enjoy with friends as its quick paced and easy to understand. Although coming out the exact same time Age Of Wonders 3 did gave it a rocky start as Age of Wonders 3 is also an amazing game but more indepth and requires more patience to play. It really depends on your preferences I purchased both games and enjoy them both but Warlock 2 has a skirmish vibe while Age of Wonders 3 has a more campaign feel to it.

This game overall is fun but it will test your skills as you get overwhelmed often. So best of luck on the fields of battle :)

Infested Planet PC

Release Date: Mar 6, 2014

• Developer: Rocket Bear Games

 Summary: 

Infested Planet is a tactical RTS, giving players the command of 5 soldiers and pitting them against a swarm of 100,000 aliens. To defeat this numerous enemy, players will have to employ their entire arsenal of weapons, buildings and technologies. Constructing everything from artillery cannons to heavily armoured minigun specialists, the marine team must push back the encroaching alien menace. The aliens have a few tricks at their disposal as well. They can mutate to gain new abilities, challenging the player with new problems. Potential commanders will need to adapt quickly or risk being overrun.

I must start off by saying that this game is currently in BETA and is thus not the completed project, keep that in mind. Infested Planet is considered an RTS but it is so much more than just a label, Infested Planet not only keeps your attention but constantly causes you to rethink what you thought you knew. For example the aliens are continuously mutating and adapting to your efforts to overcome them. This game will have you pausing it over and over just so you can take a look at the big picture, the overarching strategy so to say. Should I send my men there or would they be better served elsewhere? Do i need another medic or flamer? Micro-management is key and in the later levels you will be forced to hone those skills.

Once again I say that this game is in BETA but has so much room to grow and is already a good game.Time will tell if it will become a great one, I have hope in the game and the developers of it, that they will do their utmost to create the game that they dream of.
