Players will take the role of a European feudal lord tasked with gathering resources, recruiting squads of troops, acquiring land, and building fortifications to face off against the encroaching Golden Horde invaders. Vedelem: The Golden Horde is the only free strategy game to make this list and despite its simple premise and basic gameplay loop, Vedelem perfectly and effectively encapsulates the survival strategy subset of games. ![]() Vedelem: The Golden Horde Vedelem The Golden Hordeĭeveloper: Castle Roaches Publisher: Breda University of Applied Sciences Platform(s): PCĪ game doesn’t have to be massive in scope to leave a big and long-lasting impression. The game’s refined premise, as well as the license’s name recognition, and bevvy of improved controls makes Jurassic World Evolution 2 a decent, albeit safe park management game that’s worth checking out for the dinosaurs alone.ġ3. ![]() Jurassic World Evolution 2 makes our list as it’s essentially a more successful redo of the original from 2018, alleviating major issues regarding park customization, terrain manipulation, and shortage of content, though just like Battlesector, there’s little that the 2021 attempt does to really provide something evolutionary or fresh. Jurassic World Evolution 2 lets players realize their dreams of being the next entrepreneurial conservationist, scientist, and park manager tycoon who researches, breeds, and cares for, quite literally, a zoo filled with beasts long thought gone from the smallest of reptiles, to the terrifying T-Rex. There’s just something especially exciting about looking into Earth’s past and wondering about a world where dinosaurs roam the land alongside humanity, behind the safety of elaborate security measures of course. Look no further than Jurassic World Evolution 2. With the release of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park in 1993 and the franchise’s subsequent proliferation, it’d only be a matter of time before a game based on the universe or premise of managing a dinosaur park would come along.

While the choice of Space Marines as the central protagonist faction comes across as tired and formulaic, as this faction has been done to death at this point, the Tyranid swarms are surprisingly well-implemented with an emphasis on troop positioning, swarm tactics, and combined arms warfare, making them the more compelling faction to play. Any Warhammer fan will be impressed at how well the tabletop feel comes across in Battlesector and players are guaranteed to spend many hours tinkering with the game’s photo mode to craft the perfect scenes of gore and glory. Perhaps Battlesector’s greatest strength is its presentation with excellent voice acting, writing, impressive visual design, and a solid soundscape that add levels of immersion, as well as showing the potential of strategy games as not only a genre for direct problem-solving, but also storytelling. This particular style of strategy game is incredibly popular for Warhammer-licensed games and Battlesector represents both why this formula is so popular for that brand, but also that it can benefit from serious innovation if it’s to avoid becoming too formulaic, familiar, and, worst of all, boring. ![]() Starting off our list, Warhammer 40000: Battlesector sets the tone for the conversation for the majority of the games on this list in that it stands out as a perfectly competent turn-based tactics game.
