Strategy Sale Now On

Hello Strategy Masters!

Taskforce and Radioactive are on sale for a few days.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1291150/Taskforce_The_Mutants_of_October_Morgane/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1019370/Radioactive/

Almost two years in development, Taskforce is technically the biggest game I ever created, and owes its origins to Hilt II (and and older Taskforce game) on Amiga. A squad-level turn based game where a group of soldiers must battle the evil October Morgane.

Radioactive is a turn based game (with real time elements) for 1 to 4 players based on an old principle of selecting a unit, setting the angle and power and trying to obliterate the enemy.

Happy Playing,

Mark
