Nintendo's E3 Direct was full of a ton of surprises, but one of the more striking was the announcement of Empire of Sin. Feeling completely out of place for Nintendo's family-friendly image, the short teaser showed mobsters gunning down oth...

THQ Nordic has released a new gameplay trailer for Desperados 3, a belated sequel to the wild west strategy titles that hit the PC in the early 2000's. And even from this short preview, it's clear that this sequel is sticking firmly to its ...

Ah yes the always-popular "vague but ultimately satisfying and deep looking" strategy game reveal. It's E3 for sure! Per Aspera is definitely that, as the game's description asks you to terraform Mars, before it drastically scales back...

Songs of Conquest is probably one of the more interesting looking PC games announced so far at E3. It's described as a love-letter to Heroes of Might and Magic, which is instantly enough to perk me up, and even though it's coming in "late 2...

Age of Wonders: Planetfall is coming along nicely. The Triumph Studios-helmed and Paradox-published strategy game is still on pace for an August 6 release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and we got a closer look at it today during the E3 PC Gamin...

Roughly two weeks ago, Bandai Namco released patch 1.03 for Super Robot Wars T. To the surprise of many, including myself, the patch was more than just the usual bug fixes. An increase to the level cap, stat limits, skills, and even a new S...

When a Three Kingdoms game comes out I kind of look at it like EA and football projects: I just assume that Koei Tecmo did it. But naturally that's not always the case, and Sega/Creative Assembly really cleaned up with Total War: Three...

I'm not sure there is a better time period for video game adaptations than the Han dynasty period of ancient China. Filled to the brim with heroic individuals, grand battles, and personal drama, that historical setting is most famous for be...

When you think of what a teenager might like, the first thing that pops into your mind probably isn't history. But for one reason or another, the History Channel was my jam in high school. I loved watching old documentaries about World War ...

Strategize against prehistoric foes and enter our contest to win Warparty! Dinosaurs are mighty cool to look at, but I've got a feeling that having to fight against them would be something else, entirely. Like, it'd be cool to take one down...

Now here's a novel idea for a video game. Dream Engines: Nomad Cities is a defensive city-builder in which you not only have to maintain a steady flow of resources to expand, but you also have to fend off hordes of "weird nightmare creature...

"Execution is key" is a double entendre of sorts when combining John Wick with the turn-based strategy genre. XCOM-likes are all about planning and smart decisions, always playing the odds so things don't go awry. John Wick, on the ot...

One of the greatest things about Destructoid is its sense of community. I've made life-long friends here and meet folks who share the same passion as myself nearly every single day. Bartek Kubica, who resides in Poland, is one of those peop...

Like Insaniquarium, Wargroove slaps. It's an SRPG fan's dream, packed with a lengthy campaign, tons of ways to play both against AI and real opponents, and creation tools. What initially looked like a way to pass the time until the next Adv...

This review will be pretty simple if you fit a certain niche criteria. Did you enjoy past Paradox grand strategy games? Do you enjoy ancient history? Is the only thing holding you back from becoming a dictator a lack of power? If you answer...

I've never understood math. I was terrible at it in school - I had to take remedial summer math classes before I could be admitted into my high school - and ever since I've either shied away from any pastime involving calculation, or when i...

Frontier Development (the developer behind Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution) has announced that Planet Zoo will be its next project. Continuing the trend of resurrecting our childhood past times, this latest title will be anothe...

A confession: In my entire life, I have never played a single Anno game.  Oh sure, I am, at least, aware of the Anno series. The long-running strategy franchise is terrifically influential to many PC gamers, and it's hard not ...
