Battle Tankz is a turn-based combat strategy game featuring a new 'Swipe 'n Shoot' control system in which players control precisely the direction of their shots by drawing a path for their shells on the screen. The power of the shot is also controlled by the force with which the player draws their attack.

 

In Battle Tankz, players take control of a group of tanks and in each round must defeat their enemies by executing a limited amount of offensive or defensive moves against the clock.

 

Battle Tankz features a Campaign Mode that takes players across the global theater of war from rock-strewn deserts to forests and arctic tundra. In addition to the Campaign Mode, gamers can play in online turn-based Multiplayer Mode via Game Center and also test their skills and see how long they can last inside the mayhem of Survival Mode.

Uber Entertainment, makers of Planetary Annihilation, announce Toy Rush:

 

(...) a tower defense game that pits the player's defenses against an onslaught of toy invaders.

 

In Toy Rush, players design and build clubhouse bases and defend them from an army of plushiesbeasts, robots, and beast plush toys. Players collect attack cards to use against enemies, coupled with unique defense systems such as rubber band guns, gumball launchers, and ray guns. Players can also go on the offensive and launch attacks on bases, with asynchronous multiplayer allowing gamers to attack their friends and steal resources from them. Players can gather to form clubs, where they can chat, help out one another, and even earn specialized units and abilities.

 

Design Director at UE, John Comes states:

 

We've created a tower defense game with tremendous character, infusing it with plush toys, tech robots, and wild beasts (...) We've combined this with unique card mechanics, asynchronous multiplayer gameplay, and deep strategy elements. It's simply a ton of fun!

And so is Blitzkrieg 3 revealed by Nival Interactive.

 

Don't get overly excited, though, as intel, though scarce right now, points to the fact it shall be a multiplayer free-to-play game. Indication is single-player will arrive further down the road as DLC, not for free, naturally.

Budget cuts loomed and I swiftly found myself between the rock of populist appeal and the hard place of economic necessities. Idealism dies young in Democracy 3’s high-pressured simulation, where every choice makes somebody unhappy and the main screen, a political petri dish of interlinked nodes, soon comes to resemble a nefarious web.
