Curious Expedition 2 is a beautifully illustrated roguelike. The artwork is reminiscent of Tintin and classic hardcover European comic books. Balance greed, sanity, guile and brutishness to survive the dangers of mysterious jungles. You will need to overcome punitive dice rolls and the seriously outdated depiction of colonialism.
Monster Train offers dollops of deck building, card battling and turn based pyre defence with a pinch of rogue like. Draw some cards from a menagerie of over 200, upgrade your champions and chugga chugga choo choo through the campaign story.
Explosions of pretty colours galore. Star Renegades’ pixel art is jam packed with little details here and there. It could almost be used as a “Where is Waldo?” substitute. If Massive Damage published a hardcover book on the art of Star Renegades, I’d be the first one in line.
The stars of Iron Harvest are the giant World War I steam powered mechs. The machine gun toting crab is pretty cool. There’s also the overgrown chick equipped with nail guns.
In its third and presumably final 2020 update, BatteTech is a stable, expansive, fun to play tactical turnbased mech battler. Though grimy around the edges, Battletech relies on feudal galactic lore and time tested boardgame rules.
RuneScape is populated by damsels in distress, righteous knights, foul gouls, and blood sucking female vampyres with Romanian sounding names. Runescape Legends grandly promises a battle of wits where lives are gambled on the turns of cards.
