Read MoreNews by Matt S. Publisher, Raw Fury and developer Plausible Concept, have announced a new game, Bad North. Bad North bills itself as a “real time tactics roguelite,” and while I’ve become instantly wary of any game calling itself a “roguelike” (most developers don’t seem to have actually played Rogue),…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The rarest of rare – the absolute roc’s teeth – in console gaming is the grand strategy genre. There are so, so few attempts at bringing serious strategy games based on real-world conflicts that, as a fan of the genre but who doesn’t generally like playing…
