Genre: Real-time strategy | Release: unknown | Platforms: PC

Scramble: Battle of Britain: Ankündigung
Genre: Round strategy | Release: 2021 | Platforms: PC
What’s this? In Scramble: Battle of Britain you steer air force or RAF pilots through sky battles. The game is paused while all players determine their tactical moves. You only have a limited amount of time for this, so you have to be fast enough to still make the smartest possible decisions.
After the planning phase, it continues in real time, the planes shoot at each other or collide – and then the next planning phase starts, in which you can go through and evaluate your actions again at your leisure.
There are single player and co-op missions, as well as battles in which you can compete against friends. If you prefer to get creative yourself, you can use an editor to build your own scenarios.

Master of Magic: reboot of the classic strategy game announced
Genre: 4X-Strategy | Release: 2021 (Beta), 2022 | Platforms: PC
What’s this? The original Master of Magic should be older than some of you, because it was released in 1994. If you want to take a look at what was gambled back then, here it goes to the Steam page.
Master of Magic will be a reboot, but it wants to stick very closely to the template. In other words, the basic mechanics and content remain the same, but the technology is given an urgently needed polish. You can choose from 14 magicians who fight each other and send fantasy races such as orcs or dragons into battle.
The game is currently in an alpha test phase, and a beta will follow in the second half of 2021.
