Mac Games

This game is really weird. Weird an original. Together with Heileen, one of the most original games I’ve been playing recently. And it’s about “girl-power” too!

Your goal in the game is to find out what’s happening in your school (there have been some strange events recently) and to do this you play in a sort of turn-based game, very similar to a board game with a big scrollable map.

You’ll play with a gang of girls, each one with different skills/abilities, and an advancement system typical of RPGs games. You’ll be also able to recruit new members to your town.

Everytime you met an opponent “gang” of girls, you can challenge them in one of various puzzle/skill games, which require different skill, so is important to choose your team member with the highest required skill.

In definitive, a very original game that I recommend anyone trying, you could be surprised even if the theme doesn’t seem particularly attractive to you.

If you’re looking for a deep, captivating space war game, with the right dose of macromanagement (but not too much), and also easy to play, look no further: Supernova 2 Spacewar is the right title for you!

Sequel of the hybrid action/strategy game Supernova : Galactic Wars, luckily this time the author opted for a strategy – turn based game system, so no real-time battles.

The strategy is incredible. For the first time in this kind of games, the ship facing has a real importance. Indeed hitting an enemy from the side, or even better, from behind, gives an incredible boost in damage, and can really change a battle completely.

There are so many factors in play: the ship movement and weapons range, the weapons recharge rate, damage type, ammunition. Each device installed on the ship has also a hit point so you can destroy the ship defenses or weapons making it useless. Each faction has unique ships, and alien technologies to discover that will unlock even more unique and powerful units/weapons.

I waited to review this title because I heard they were going to do a major overhaul of the game, introducing ships blueprints (basically you can create any kind of ship design from scratch) and real-time macromanagement: and I can easily say that with those two last addition this game is without any doubt one of the best strategy / wargame available today for Mac.
There’s also a skirmish mode for those of you that don’t want to deal with macromanagement, discovering new technologies or managing resources: jump straight into the battle!
