Militia

One of the best games of its kind on Steam. I am always impressed with how BrainGoodGames takes what would be simple abstract board games and gives them a real feeling of life as a video game. One thing I keep forgetting to mention in my reviews for their games is how much of a fan I am of the simple graphic style most of them use. There is something about the lack of clutter and the very clearly defined monochrome pieces that feels almost meditative versus games with a lot of animation and unnecessary flashing colors. This is minimalism done very right.

This game is bad because of one simple reason: You have no control over the difficulty. It starts you out at the easiest level. Win some matches, difficulty goes up. Lose some, it goes down. Have a bad run? You have to redo a bunch of too-easy levels just to get back to where you were. It's ridiculous. If the game let me turn off "difficulty goes down when you fail" in the settings, I'd consider giving this a thumbs-up. But that single flaw is so severe that I can only give this game one star out of five.

Kondensiertes, schnelles, erfrischendes Taktikspiel mit Grafisch und technisch mittelmäßiger Umsetzung aber tollerem Soundtrack.

A compact chess-like game with rules that are quick to learn, but there's enough challenge on higher levels...

This game is kinda meh. Minos strategos is much better. Brainbad game.

I'd characterise this game as the simple-rules-complex-interactions type, much like a form of chess, but with more moving parts and hence a much faster tempo, since all pieces can make one move each round (and some can make extra moves). A good pick-up game when you want a short challenge. Some replay value, the last achievement kicks in at 100 matches.
