Insidia is a free-to-play, turn-based, tactical game that has you taking 4 different fighters into battle to destroy the opponents 3 towers that represent their life bar. Currently in development by Bad Seed, Insidia is in open beta for the moment and is considered an Early Access title on Steam, so it isn’t quite perfect just yet, but the developers have the full intentions on getting the maximum amount of potential out of this one. The game does have some nice ideas and is definitely a unique twist for the turn-based tactics genre (having simultaenous turns and all, much like Atlas Reactor), it just needs some serious refinement, that’s all. There needs to be more characters, their animations need to be a little more polished, and the attacks need to have some decent impact behind their sounds, but the overall experience in the game is a positive one and does make for a fun couple of games here and there.TacticalCompetitivePvPSimultaneous TurnMultiplayerFantasy
Shaiya may be a dated MMORPG with some old-looking graphics, but the gameplay the game has to offer is rather unique. Questing can be pretty fun albeit a bit grindy, while the PvE and PvP aspects of the game are pretty well-done (as in “fun and challenging”). There are also plenty of random events to keep things interesting in the game such as the battleground call-to-arms. For those crazy fellas who can’t resist a challenge, there’s even the ultimate mode that you can enjoy. So, it doesn’t matter if you do it out of curiosity or out of nostalgia, but be sure to check out this incredibly timeless game, Shaiya! PvPFantasy
