7. Space Hulk Ascension

Space Hulk Ascension builds on the classic board game experience but it also brings a lot of new content to the table. The PC game incorporates new RPG mechanics along with additional weapons and enemy types to improve upon an already great basis.

In addition to the turn based strategy game experience you get a new experience not seen in a lot of games of its type. A horror element is added in.  The game is set in the ruins of a space graveyard.

You’ll be playing the game set in isolated chambers and tombs all while in the mindset of a character leading a team of space marine terminators. Lead your fearless Marine team out to take on and defeat evil alien races. Although you’ll learn a lot of interesting backstory the real thing you need to focus on is going out and destroying some aliens. This game is definitely worth a play.

4. Ticket to Ride

Ticket to Ride is a turn based strategy game based on a German style board game. In this instance the PC game is nearly identical to the board game. Just like the board game there are two types of cards. These cards include colored trains that represent a type of cargo and new destination cards. Players attempt to claim routes with combinations of these cards using train cards to claim destinations.

When at least one player has used up all their trains the game is over. Players then get bonus for reaching their chosen destinations and penalties for having not reached certain destinations. The game is simple but addictive and soon you’ll see just why if you try Ticket to Ride.

Take all the countries you can manage to conquer and hold them like trophies. 

Will you conquer all of Europe or fall short trying?

1. Northmark: Hour of the Wolf

Northmark: Hour of the Wolf is a card based RPG game. There are three character choices for the player including warrior, mage, and druid. Exploration is not limited whatsoever in this game and that’s one of the things that makes it great. You can explore every corner of the map. Just be aware that you might run into trouble and you might have to fight your way out of it.

The game is simplistic to play yet complex because it has so much to offer. This is a true winner. You won’t be limited to a straight and narrow pathway that leads you through a contrived story. Instead you’ll carve out your own story and explore any place you want along the way.

Find beautiful landscapes and claim them as your own if you’re willing to fight for them
