Ultra Age is a solid budget hack and slash
Hacked your Age
In theory I'm rather partial to slash-em-up crowd fighting games, but I've never got on with the big names in the genre.

It's now called Remnants Of The Rift
The stylish, retro-futurist trappings of strategic roguelike RFM made it one of the most eye-catching demos of last autumn's Steam Next Fest. Since then, though, we haven't heard much about it - until now.

What happens when you make a Crusader Kings 3 ruler with every stat set to max?
The Age of Men is over. The Time of Gigaknight has come.
The Vatican City, 1146 AD, and 90 years into a game of Crusader Kings III. As the doors of the conclave chamber are sealed, a ring of hangdog cardinals stare miserably at each other in the sudden gloom. It is time, once again, to choose a new Pope. Once, this would have been a gathering seething with the ambitions of powerful men. Now, it …
