Greetings
In this thread I want share some of incoming games(that preferably have a demo). Check you wish list and share incoming titles that you expect to be good. Or the one that are little known and forgotten.
/vst/ demos thread.
I start with Kriegsfront Tactics, which is take on FM3 - mechs in semi vietnam on alternate Earth. It have a demo and its pretty good.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2851820/Kriegsfront_Tactics__Prologue/
Funny enough it have same demo in 2 separate locations - on game and on separate prologue site.

Secondly I drop Rogue Conflict
Its rather challenging game where you have three days to reach enemy capital and then take it. You choose one of available armies(there are few to choose, rest are unlocakble later) then choose your path to the enemy capital - you can buy extra units and perks for them in between battles.
Its pretty solid and can be quite hard. Demo is just first stage battle.

Finally I drop Mars Tactics
Its game that is supposdly be spirit successor to JA and UFO defense - having both tactical battles and global layer. Its developed by single nipponese and you can take side of the Capital(corpo) or Worker Unions(labor).
Looks interesting. No demo right now but last one was pretty decently done combat tactic.

For me, it's Global Conflagration. I played the demo and it was far from finished, a C&C clone with a weird modern European setting. One thing I found interesting was the catch-up mechanics for multiplayer and skirmish. I expect the release to be a complete failure with zero relevance, I mean it already has zero online presence.

I checked but no demo. Guess it was fest time. It is more of CoH or RA?

If they can somehow pozz a game about Space Marines fighting pirates and aliens, I'd be genuinely astounded.
They got a few darkies alongside our other Aryan characters but that seems to be it. Women in infantry roles I guess but it's a fictional video game and you made em cute so it doesn't really bother me.

not great but pretty good
it may look like discount advance wars but it play completely different
recon is really important, same goes for having reserves and rotating units
with some extra modes and some polish it could be great, at the moment solid 7-8/10

this actually looks pretty cool, especially that campaign map. will be great if they actually manage to simulate logistics effectively, only other game I've known to attempt something like that was Hegemony Gold

I'm keen on it mainly since I REALLY enjoy sci-fi human2human conflicts. Aliens can be neat but sometimes just plain old human awfulness is far more enjoyable

Moloch was the ritual's name. Carthage worshiped Kronos, King of the Titans. They called him Hammon.

> Last night, the crying of the fanboys kept me awake...and I had a terrible vision. I saw the fall of our franchise: low budget remasters under a harsh sun... Historical Total War, gone! Why would CA send such a vision? They are not cruel; they have watched over us. We have had victories aplenty in game awards. Our community sail to all corners of the forums. Yet even now, I fear. I cannot help it. We are the envy of mobile gamers. They tell terrible lies about us. They do not understand, so they lie. But the Warhammer fanboys, they are the masters of falsehood. New Historical Total War will come, I am sure of it. So. I will have no more false visions...and I think the fanboys will be quiet tonight.

I like the whole take on becoming the Final Boss and it's good to be bad. But we'll see if there's a good game as well, that's not enough to carry it.

Can't say much about this one, reminds me of Eisenwald somewhat.

I dig the graphics - looked good gameplay wise as well.

Been meaning to buy this for a while, I like the looks and gameplay, I've been waiting though to see if the dev is serious enough or if it will be stuck forever in EA.

nope, I think art good enough/don't care, just didn't see anything interesting - the ftl style campaign don't really pull me in for what is essentially a string of skirmishes

Found a demo for a logistics centered war game.
>Frontline Logistics: Isarian Warfare
The tutorial doesnt really teach you anything, but the demo doesnt have too many things to get lost on. FOB and morale management players like a colony sim but with squads. Have to manage shit like ammo, food, meds, medevacing wounded. You get supplies daily, but its not enough for constant combat. Replacements are rare, and your daily supply convoy could be missing some items.

>>2167230
>pretty good but very difficult
its not that hard when you don't play it like its advance wars, vision, unit rotation and artillery/air are really important
its kind of undercooked tho, still solid game but could be much more

why?
