Starship Troopers: Terran Command

A party of several characters

A real-time strategy game in the Starship Troopers universe where you command Mobile Infantry squads against huge Arachnid swarms, managing positioning, abilities and resources under pressure.

Iron Marines

Linear, curated structure

You command squads of soldiers, mechas and hero units across alien planets in this sci-fi real-time strategy game. It comes from the team behind Kingdom Rush but builds a fresh universe with a more casual, accessible take on the genre.

Dust Fleet

Build variety

A strategy game blending 4X elements with real-time 3D space battles: you research technologies, outfit your ships with weapons and modules, and defend the Dust Zone as fleet commander.

Alien Shooter TD

Shooting and gunplay

A tower defense game set in the Alien Shooter universe where you not only place towers but also command elite soldiers directly to hold back waves of alien monsters.

Earth Defense Force 5

Shooting and gunplay

A gleefully cheesy third-person arcade shooter where you, alone or in co-op, mow down enormous swarms of giant insects and robots with a huge arsenal. B-movie charm, mass destruction and weapon collecting define the fun.

Gratuitous Space Battles

Build variety

You design your fleet and deploy it before the fight, then watch the battle play out automatically. The appeal is in clever ship builds and formations, with no story or resource management to get in the way.

Mechs and Mercs: Black Talons

A party of several characters

You lead a persistent mercenary squad in real time across different worlds, upgrading soldiers, mechs and your battlecruiser base. Faction relations and per-class skill trees add tactical depth to the campaign.

Sanctum 2

Shooting and gunplay

A blend of tower defense and first-person shooting where you design mazes of towers and walls, then grab your guns and fight the alien waves yourself. It shines in four-player co-op, rewarding both smart layouts and sharp aim.

X-COM: Apocalypse

A party of several characters

As X-COM commander you defend the megacity of Mega-Primus from alien invaders while dealing with gangs, cults and corporations. It blends real-time base management and economy with deep tactical squad combat, playable either turn-based or in real time.
