Phoenix Point

Post-apocalyptic setting

A turn-based tactics game in the XCOM tradition where you lead a resistance organization against mutating alien horrors. It stands out for its free-aim shooting with targetable body parts, faction diplomacy on the world map, and enemies that evolve in response to your tactics.

Shadow Empire

Economy and management

A very complex turn-based wargame set on a procedurally generated post-apocalyptic planet, where you lead a fledgling state and juggle logistics, politics, economy and warfare. Its blend of 4X, hex-based tactics and RPG elements for leaders and officers gives it enormous depth.

Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising

Post-apocalyptic setting

A real-time strategy and action hybrid where you build and recycle units from the carrier Antaeus, taking direct control of individual vehicles in post-war missions. Its unusual mix of unit crafting, hands-on control and mission planning sets it apart.

They Are Billions

Economy and management

A punishing steampunk real-time strategy game where you build colonies and fortify them with walls, towers and troops against massive zombie hordes. One breach can doom everything, so careful planning matters above all.

Kenshi

Post-apocalyptic setting

Kenshi is a brutal sandbox RPG set in a vast, harsh wasteland where you decide whether to become a trader, mercenary, slave or warlord. Instead of a scripted story, you build your squad, base and reputation in a world that gives you nothing for free.

Broken Lines

Post-apocalyptic setting

A serious squad-level war tactics game where you plan orders during a pause and then watch them play out in real time, sometimes disastrously. Randomized missions and soldier skills and perks add variety.

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel

Post-apocalyptic setting

A tactical squad-based spin-off in the Fallout universe where you lead Brotherhood of Steel recruits through mission-based wasteland campaigns. It emphasizes squad combat in turn-based or real-time modes, varied weapons and character building over free-roaming exploration.

Syndicate Wars

Sci-fi setting

An isometric real-time tactics game where you lead a squad of cybernetic agents through a dystopian corporate world. Destructible cities, mind-control Persuadertrons and research upgrades drive chaotic, brutal missions.

Original War

Tactical depth

A real-time strategy game set in Cold War Siberia, where Americans and Russians fight over an alien mineral. It stands out for its small squads of individually developed characters with classes and skills instead of anonymous armies, plus a story with time-travel twists.
