Hex: Shards of Fate is a challenging MMO trading card game (TCG) where you play a wandering champion in the fictional world of Entrath. The game features a 1-on-1 card battle where you must deplete your opponent’s life to zero in order to win, as well as strategically in-depth deck-building and factions to side with. The gameplay draws inspiration from the popular board-based TCGs, such as Magic The Gathering which had admittedly gotten it into a bit of a tough spot with a lawsuit back in 2015. The game may have a slightly higher skill ceiling, but it's a solid MMOTCG that fans of the genre will enjoy. If you happen to count yourself among them, then Hex: Shards of Fate is a game you'll want to play.CompetitiveCollectible CardsFantasy
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
