The new adventure strategy RPG game Songs of Conquest has some of the best pixel art in gameplay I've ever seen and it looking like a nostalgic but modern Heroes of Might & Magic or Age of Wonders like game is going to turn a lot of heads. A new trailer recently released, let's analyse it a bit and appreciate the art in SoC while talking about the gameplay, combat, and factions that we can see. Release date is set of early 2022.

Liquidation is a new real-time strategy game set in a sci-fi fantasy universe. RTS is a sparse genre, so every new game is something to check out and this is like Warcraft 3 with 40K vibes. Let's play some of this scenario gameplay that's showing off what its got before the Kickstarter and see how much better it's gotten since the last demo. What do you think?

SKALD: Against the Black Priory is a retro styled RPG that turns out is pretty amazing! Grim-dark fantasy, role-playing well written characters, tactical combat gameplay, and Lovecraftian horror makes this a game that's compelling and engaging to play. Reading through the dialogue is rewarding and Skald's new-school approach with old-school style works. Don't be turned off by the screenshots or pixel art graphics, even this prologue delivers more than you would expect.

Urbek is a new city-building game and here's a look at the basics of what gameplay is like. Surprisingly complex, a lot builds around spacing, distance, and adjacency, plus resource management and evolution of houses. Let's play some of the free demo in 2021 and see if it's a game to watch.
