I’ve recently learned about the upcoming release of Panzer Strike by ISAK Team, and as a fan, I can’t help but feel excited! This game is shaping up to be an authentic real-time strategy (RTS) experience, reminiscent of classics like Blitzkrieg and Sudden Strike from the 2000s.

49 – Ancient Arenas: Chariots

In 2014, the game Qvadriga was highly popular due to its unique blend of turn-based or real-time chariot racing simulation, coupled with an intricate system design. What truly set it apart from other racing sims was its Roman quadriga setting. Although Turnopia received a positive response, it failed to fully exploit this setting and push the concept even further. That’s exactly what the creators of Ancient Arenas: Chariots aim to achieve. Currently, not much information is available about it, but it’s promising as it appears to be a spiritual successor to Qvadriga.

48 – Rise of Industry 2

Originally, Rise of Industry was a game that combined management and tycoon elements, taking place during the early 1900s where you started as an aspiring industrialist. The only expansion pack for this game, named 2130, briefly ventured the series into the 22nd century. Now, five years after the launch of Rise of Industry, we have Rise of Industry 2 returning to the 80s and setting you in America, where you strive to transform your dream into a reality.

47 – Capital Command

Hooded Horse currently rules supreme in the world of strategy games, having overthrown Paradox Interactive in 2024. Now, they are involved in almost every upcoming strategy game, with Capital Command being one example. This space sim allows players to command their own custom-built warships within a sandbox environment.

46 – Fata Deum

Modern games in the genre of God simulators are scarce, making their arrival all the more thrilling when a new developer steps into the fray. Fata Deum draws heavily from classic God games, offering players the choice between assuming the role of a benevolent deity who fosters growth and prosperity among your digital followers, or embracing evil to lead them down a destructive path filled with decadence, violence, sin, and demonic influence. A demo is available for those eager to explore this unique world!

45 – Kriegsfront Tactics

Kriegsfront Tactics is an engaging role-playing game (RPG) that focuses on strategy and mecha combat, taking place in an alternate 1970s Southeast Asia. If this description doesn’t catch your attention, I’m not sure what will! The game lets you command a team of mechs, a concept that has been around for a while, but it stands out due to its graphics reminiscent of the PS1/PS2 era and a user interface similar to Metal Gear Solid. The unique Southeast Asia setting adds an extra layer of intrigue, making it worthy of being included in this list. You can start playing the prologue immediately by clicking on this link.

44 – Commander: Europe at War

Even though some might view it as breaking the rules, it’s a fresh start for the game, isn’t it? Matrix has unveiled a 3D reboot of their 2007 title, Commander: Europe at War. The revamped version will enhance the AI, modernize the control system, and introduce new military units and diplomacy mechanisms. You’ll have an array of six campaigns to explore, ranging from the North Atlantic to Western Russia. The visuals appear sleek and relaxing with their pastel color scheme.

43 – Fragile Existence

Once again, Hooded Horse has released a title called Fragile Existence, which is a real-time strategy game set in space. In this game, you’re tasked with saving humanity from extinction. It bears a striking resemblance to Planetary Annihilation. Build your space colonies, expand your military force, and engage in battles against formidable adversaries. What more could a gamer ask for?

42 – Radio Commander: Pacific Campaign

During my interview with the Radio Commander: Pacific Campaign team in December 2022, I had assumed that the game would be launched in 2023. As time passed, there were no significant updates until a few weeks ago when a demo was released at Steam Next Fest. I’ve given it a try and found it enjoyable, but I need to evaluate its naval aspects further before making a definitive opinion. Here’s hoping it meets the high expectations established.

41 – Nova Roma

2025 seems promising for city-builder enthusiasts, especially with Nova Roma on the horizon! This game is being crafted by Lion Shield and published by Hooded Horse. In Nova Roma, you’ll guide a group of citizens following Rome’s fall, seeking to establish a new settlement – the ‘Nova’ Rome. Develop your economy, utilize nature’s power, please the Gods, create laws, and keep your people content. I can’t wait to see how it compares with other titles in the lineup!
