Crimson Freedom – what’s this?

Discovered the upcoming RTS Crimson Freedom by the all mysterious algorithm on Twitter (X)—and for once I can say it did a pretty good job. No societal decay shoved into my face today to increase my ever-growing despair for the future, just pure enjoyment—thanks Elon! Jokes aside, this is a pleasant surprise, because it looks great from a visual standpoint, in a setting that never fails: sci-fi war on Mars. Other things that make this a contender is that it’s singleplayer focused, with three distinct factions. And, the Steam page promises a focus on Macro, instead of Micro. Thank the Martian gods for that, as too much micro is a modern curse upon the RTS genre. Check out the cool gameplay trailer after the jump!

Fallout Operation: Sunburst [Film]

The Fallout franchise once again invites us to watch a fan-made film, made by YouTuber SODAZ. What is cool about Fallout Operation: Sunburst, is that it takes a fascinating event (Battle for HELIOS One) from Fallout: New Vegas that you just heard about and makes a whole war movie out of it. In-game, and lore-wise, it’s a pivotal incident that formed the fate of New Vegas—so it was a pure pleasure to experience this historical event from a gaming perspective. Check out the awesome film after the click, just make sure you prepare yourself for total carnage!

Fallout: Invasion Of New Vegas [Film]

Yep, time for another movie watch. So, let us travel to the Mojave in Fallout: Invasion Of New Vegas, which is a non-canonical fan-film by DINZHI that depicts the theoretical story continuation of an NCR victory in Fallout: New Vegas. The film doesn’t exactly have a clear protagonist to follow, as it’s more of a war movie, if the Brotherhood of Steel were to invade after the NCR takes the dam. It’s one brutal skirmish after another, with pretty entertaining battle scenes made in Blender and the Unreal 5 engine.

D.O.R.F – Infantry Combat [Trailer]

D.O.R.F is an upcoming indie RTS of the classic nature (think 90s) that I haven’t posted about before. However, I thought it was high time now with their latest trailer that focuses on the infantry aspect – my favorite aspect of any RTS. The trailer showcases their usefulness, how they might be used during play, and how much punishment they can take before the eternal oblivion embraces them. Things are looking good, and it seems tactics might actually be a thing, instead of just right-clicking for the blob to consume everything labeled “enemy”.

The combat actually reminds me of Blitzkrieg, in visual sprites, and animations, including the gameplay. It’s a realistic approach, but with the reins fairly loose to give the poor digital men a fighting chance. Check out the trailer after the jump!

Airborne Rangers – Devlog 2 [AI, ragdolls & destruction]

I made a post about Airborne Rangers back in April this year. It presented the initial announcement trailer that looked very promising. Especially if you are into military simulations like Arma 3, with co-op as the core. Now, the developer team BlowPunch Gameworks has released a devlog in video format that showcases some truly cool stuff. We get an impressive ragdoll/gore system, detailed destructible environments and an AI that actually uses tactics, and looks challenging to defeat.

And with that, my hype has doubled. Could this be the first realistic tactic game in ages – a spiritual sequel to Men of War that will be good? The future will tell, of course, but I will allow myself to feel a little hype. Check out the video for yourself after the jump!
