It’s not often we get to play a solid RTS game, if this preview is any indication about what to expect in the final game, RTS fans have a lot to look forward to in Meridian: New World. Elder Games shows that there is still life left in the RTS genre. Tarsoly has done a fantastic job of combining RTS gameplay with RPG character progression in a sleek and polished package; while putting his own spin on traditional RTS game mechanics that don’t deviate too far the core game that RTS fans have come to love from the genre. I should point out the game is still in Alpha, so everything is still in development or can change by the time the final product is released, but this preview has gotten me really excited to see the future of this game.
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."
