Greetings, indie RPG fans! Over the weekend, I learned about a strategy RPG that just recently released for iPhone and iPad by the name of Partia: The Broken Lineage. The developers don’t quite provide a premise, though they do have a somewhat lengthy history of the game world that hints at a plot: However to [...]

The Battle for Wesnoth is a bit of a classic. It was first developed by David White and released for free back in 2003; because the game is open source, however, it has been further developed and extended by a small army of people over the intervening years. Wesnoth is so old that it gets [...]

Geoff Dunbar of Merry Prankster Games writes in to announce the release of 10 Fantasy Fights, a short (but free) fantasy tactics game featuring combat of the real-time-with-pause variety and a rules system reminiscent of D&D’s. The premise is a bit flimsy, and by the author’s own admission, is there primarily to justify him stress-testing [...]

Remember how I posted about Kingturn RPG not that long ago? Well, it just had a baby: Kingturn RPG Plus. Kingturn RPG Plus, just like its predecessor, is a turn-based tactical RPG with an overtly political storyline. This time, however, the story is completely different (which begs the question as to why this is given [...]

There’s a new indie strategy RPG in the southern sky, folks. By “the southern sky,” I of course mean “the Android app store”; and by “new,” I mean “new to me.” (It was released in March.) Courtesy of questionably named indie developer Mangobile comes Kingturn RPG, a turn-based strategy RPG with a distinctly political plot: [...]

James Pawliuk, the man behind developer Wispora, has created an iOS-exclusive, sci-fi tactical RPG by the name of LostStar Tactics. The premise is nothing if not simplistic: Crashed on a dangerous planet, your small band of brave warriors must use their tactical cunning to survive as they explore this mysterious world. That’s pretty much it, [...]

Next up on our ongoing mobile RPG series is Cyber Knights RPG by The Trese Brothers, a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk tactical RPG. Although this game is not technically finished, it’s very much playable and in open beta. The premise of Cyber Knights RPG should be familiar to anyone with even a passing familiarity with the conceits [...]

It’s been a long time since I last had time to do proper game reviews, and my backlog hasn’t grown any shorter during the interim. So I’m doing a double-header: Styrateg and Age of Fear: The Undead King. This isn’t just to save time; these two games have a lot of similar qualities, and I [...]
