RedSun is a prime example of the genre classic RTS, unjustly forgotten today. In this game you directly and, as is self-explanatory name for the genre, real-time control of troops, build a base, plan attacks and to strengthen the defense on the battlefield. At your disposal different types of units - each ones with their own objectives, strengths and weaknesses. Also, do not forget that the game is just beginning to develop. We, in its turn, will make every effort to develop the game and not let you get bored. This is just the beginning. The game is made in 2D isometric style. The game features: - Virtually unchanged classical control, with the addition of new features, as well as multiselect units from one to several. On screens with HD and FHD use the zoom if you can see finely. - Building base with classic MCV anywhere on the map (double-click on the engineering machine), as well as other technological structures. Mining crystals harvesters. - Powerful weapon in the form of a nuclear explosion (soon there will be other, and it is possible to purchase a quantitative stock) System improvements Arsenal for the development of new units. Achievements and medals. Differences from other games, so-called strategic: - There is no dependence on donation, i.e., in the game at the moment, there are no internal purchases. - Create any number of units and buildings, there are almost no restrictions, in addition to the resources of the device, otherwise it will lag. In addition, do not forget that the game is only the beginning of its development in the early autumn, and we in turn will do our best to develop the game and not let You get bored. Thank You for the criticism, reviews, positive comments, suggestions, we first try to make a game good old time RTS strategies of the late 90's and early 2000, to correct errors and shortcomings in the game in time, and to help players understand the mechanics of the game, though it is not particularly simple. P. S. To update the maps and other content, it is desirable to have always included the Internet.

Lost Realms is a completely free (and no ads!) indie strategy game. It's a mash up of chess and your medieval RTS favorites. Build your empire, expand your economy, raise an army, and vanquish your opponents. Easy to learn, but hard to master. Conquering your opponents will require carefully balancing your economy with your military, controlling your armies to outflank your opponents, and researching the right technologies. This could be rushing your opponent with an early attack or building towers to defend your superior economy. And each civilization offers unique bonuses and units to make every game unique. - Play a campaign as the civilization of Jakarth - Play against the AI as an civilization on different maps - Learn strategy though guided tutorials The game is entirely free with no ads. I don't currently make any money off the game. The app also does not collect any personal information. It's just a game for you to enjoy.
