There’s a beautifully detailed game just waiting to be explored inside of this sequel to a forgotten cult classic, one that will have hardcore RTS fans in their element if they can overlook a clunky campaign flow and dive deep into its many layers of strategy. Fortune favours those who are bold and prepared in Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena.

Feast thine eyes on the trailer below, which stars you as a medieval ruler who has to build a stronghold and make good use of repressed peasants with which to run the land and soak up enemy spears.

Fans have been airing their grievances over the remastered RTS, citing poorly implemented tweaks to the gameplay, multiple bugs and a disappointing custom maps system.

Oh, and if you’re not lucky enough to crack the first round, the open beta will start just a few days afterwards. Everyone wins!

Here’s a look at the very best in strategy games, that got us using our noodles and clicking more than ever throughout 2019.

Developers Slitherine Games and The Aristocrats reckon that they’ve got what it takes to crack a Klendathu shell to get to the gooey goodness inside, as they’ve just announced Starship Troopers: Terran Command.

After more than a decade of waiting, Age of Empires finally returns with a fourth game in the series, one that looks to walk a delicate tightrope of nostalgia and new ideas while still setting the benchmark for the RTS genre.

The future is coming, and it kind of looks…grim. In Disintegration, the destiny of humanity has resulted in our species being served a combo of disaster, as game director Marcus Lehto’s return to sci-fi action picks off a good couple of years after overpopulation, famine and the mother of all pandemics has almost succeeded in wiping out our species. The only solution? Putting our juicy bits of grey matter into robotic shells, thus creating an integration between man and machine.
