Gratuitous Space Battles  Positech Games2009En este juego de estrategia lo más importante es el despliegue: las batallas se ganan antes de comenzarlas.

El juego permite personalizar tus naves al detalle, desde la forma, tamaño y ranuras para armas/utilidades hasta cada objeto e incluso el nombre que lleva.

Terriblemente recomendable.

Y muy divertido por detalles como los comentarios (en serio, míralos) de tus pilotos o por las escenas de batalla multitudinarias.

7 de 10***Rather unusual strategy game where you simply design and deploy your fleet, but the battles themselves are fought automatically with no control over how they behave during it. Fortunately the game offers some priorisation and behaviour customization for each spacecraft which you can fiddle with during deployment.

Frozen Synapse Mode 7 Games2011Un juego de estrategia/acción por turnos, donde debes planificar tus acciones no sólo en función de lo que tu quieres hacer, sino también pensando en las acciones del rival.

Muy mental (aunque demolerlo todo a bazocazos es sencillo y eficaz), desgraciadamente no hay tanta gente para jugar partidas como antaño.
Lo cual es curioso, ya que debido a su planteamiento tu envías/recibes una partida y recibir la respuesta/contestarla días más tarde con su/tu estrategia, para ver el resultado de vuestras acciones y seguir (si ambos permanecéis mínimamente vivos)

Original como el sólo, el único defecto que le veo es que su campaña es excesivamente exigente (su curva de dificultad hace de su tutorial un infierno y de su campaña una quimera, se aprende más jugando en multijugador)

Un interesante enfoque en los juegos de acción por turnos.

6 de 10***A semi-abstract, semi-cyberspace tactical squad-based combat strategy with ability to give surprisingly complex commands to your troops at about decisecond precision.

Each turn is about 5 seconds of action where you need to plan your moves in a way that avoids unnecessarily loss of life by scanning surroundings, controlling facing, designating targets to focus or ignore, etc. and since actions can cross the timeline between turns, you can easily end up with a turn starting where you have a rocket a millimeter way from your trooper's face with no solution available to save them.

Each singleplayer mission takes place on randomly generated map that is generated again if you restart that mission, disallowing you to grind same level over and over again to win it by brute forcing your tactics (as in, the challenges if not the goals are different on each try).

Multiplayer at the time of writing only has 1-vs-1 battles against human players.***Frozen Synapse is the ultimate tactical game on PC and Mac.

It brings the simultaneous turn-based strategy genre bang up-to-date and lets you give detailed, accurate orders to your squad: classic gameplay with a modern interface. Plan your moves, test them out, then hit the "Prime" button: both you and your enemy's turns are executed simultaneously. Competitive-but-intuitive multiplayer and a huge single player campaign mean that Frozen Synapse will give you hours and hours of tactical delight.

Key features:
* Get a FREE full copy of the game for a friend with every purchase
* 5 challenging multiplayer modes, including the innovative bidding-based "Secure" and "Hostage Rescue"
* 55-mission single player campaign with dynamic dialogue and thrilling near-future narrative
* Powerful Skirmish Generator
* Facebook, Twitter and YouTube integration
* 15 Steam Achievements
* Integrated IRC chat as well as various community features
* Random generation combined with hand-crafted content means that levels and maps are different every time
* Critically-acclaimed electronica soundtrack by musician nervous_testpilot***[media=youtube]aXbsSLeINhg[/media]
