Strategy

(8)

Games won by planning more than reflexes: chess at five levels, turn-based tactics on an 8x8 grid, a card deckbuilder in three acts and tower defense on eight tight maps.

Turn-based thinking and real-time defence

Bastide Tactics shows where every enemy will strike, and your turn is spent pushing, pulling or freezing them off target. Oxbow Deckbuilder is a card roguelite with a boss at the end of each of three acts. Vallum Tower Defense is the one real-time game here: eight maps, four tower types and seven enemy types, then an endless mode.

The classic board games belong here too: Boxwood Chess, Sedef Checkers, Onyx Reversi, Cowrie Mancala and Trellis Four in a Row, each with levels from beginner to strong.
