The special thing about Ironcast is first of all the setting. After all, you rarely end up in the Victorian era. However, the strategy-roguelite mix is not historically correct. Because in the alternative timeline you sit down behind the wheel of a two-legged war machineto destroy the enemies of the British Kingdom.
The invaders also have battle colossuses. The battles are turn-based. The available resource nodes are at the center of your strategic considerations. These are required for the weapons and systems of your steel fortress. You can also use it for the defensive instead of for the offensive to protect yourself from enemy fire.
The roguelite elements come into play when you bless the temporal. Death is permanent, however, the bagged rewards are carried over to the next game round. With them you can upgrade your machines and thereby defeat even stronger opponents. So you are always making progress, which keeps the motivation up.
Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead
Genre: Strategy | Developer: ClockStone | Release: 19. November 2020

When there is no more room in hell … do the dead walk across the bridge? At least in Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead, that’s how the game works. Because here you have to build a stable bridge in the best series tradition. Sounds simple? Not if your design the weight of countless brain eater has to endure.
So that not every level is the same, the goals vary in the course of the game, which also affects the level design. From building a bridge, for example, you continue to erect a ramp, with the help of which a ball rolling over it crushes as many zombies as possible. Each stage presents you with a new tricky challenge.
When staging the plot, you shouldn’t expect such a high level as in The Walking Dead Adventures by Telltale, which is mainly due to the game principle. But you slip here again and again into the skin of well-known series characters such as Daryl or Michonne. And who doesn’t have to grin happily at the sound of a crushed walker?
