While strategy games aren’t the “biggest thing” in our gaming world, they are often incredibly deep titles, as you’ll see with the games below.
#4 The Alters
Looking for a science fiction game with a bit of a twist? Check out The Alters. This is a strategy management game where you take control over Jan Dolski. Jan finds himself in a world of hurt when he crashes into a planet. Stuck and striving for a means of escape, Jan finds that the only means of getting his life back would be extra helping hands. Jan discovers he can create alternate versions of himself using a local substance. Each comes into existence with different life experiences and choices from their past. Can they put aside their differences to help Jan escape? You’ll have to play the game to find out!
#3 The Universim
Take the role of a god. Build up your planet and guide the civilization through the ages, from building empires and fighting off wildlife to seeing your once little villagers expand to an age of futuristic bustling cities or venture out into space with their own space programs. However, if a civilization proves to step out of line, players can wipe them off the face of the earth. Using your godly powers, devastate the world with tornadoes and meteorites.
#2 Homeworld 3
This RTS series is known for its deep strategy due to how you control fleets of ships and can command them however you want.
Will you only build ships that have overwhelming power? Perhaps you’ll build a fleet that can defend and support each other no matter the opponent? Or will you go light and fast and have a swarm of ships that can take on enemies in all directions? With each battle, regardless of who you face, your command skills will be put to the test.
Plus, there’s a deep storyline that continues the plot of the last game. So you’ll have plenty to do.
#1 Barkhan
There have been clashes over lands in the past, but in Barkhan, you’ll be one of three factions that go to a remote world trying get the materials that are buried beneath the sands. The strategies you’ll employ in this game won’t just be about the ways you conduct battle, but which faction you’ll choose to go to battle with!
Your first option is the “Clan of Power,” who tries to overwhelm their foes with incredible weaponry on their vehicles. Your second option is the “Clan of Will,” who use a mixture of precise actions and dominant speed to overwhelm foes before they can react.
Finally, there’s the “Clan of Trickery,” who use stealth and advanced technology to get the foe before they can get them back!
