I mentioned this when I first previewed Meridian: New World; I love real-time strategy games. As PC gaming grew, the real-time strategy and roleplaying genres were the genres to play. If you were not a part of the Command & Conquer, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, Advanced D&D (Champions of Krynn!), or Elder Scrolls games then you were pretty much a square and did not deserve to play video games. I grew quite attached to the Warcraft and StarCraft brands as time wore on and primarily stuck to Blizzard's core RTS games. I did branch out a bit with Dark Reign, Earth 2140, then fast forward ten-plus years and got into Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War and Company of Heroes, largely though I stuck to the Warcraft franchise though, admittedly, I picked up StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty on day one. Outside of a handful of titles, there are not many "true" real-time strategy games available.
J Station X: For the Steam Winter Sale, German games publisher Headup Games has discounted almost every game they publish including In Between and Onikira: Demon Killer.
Not that bad actually... I think this year's summer sale was actually one of the worst I've seen

There are some sob stories around from indie developers breaking down the grinding halt a package deal produces. None of that is present for Ede Tarsoly, proprietor of Elder Games and maker of the highly ambitious Merdian: New World."
Leon from DJ Podcasts writes "At its core Meridian: New World is a very traditional RTS, although it has some notable exceptions to that traditional formula. Far from tweaks, it includes the command centre, for you to explore in between missions. As well as the ability to talk with your subordinates. In addition you have a number of abilities you unlock and use in the missions, from the ability to enhance your units, heal them, and even damage the enemy."
