Overview
Description

NERO introduces a new genre of Machine Learning Games where players train simulated robots inside a 3D physics sandbox. The training phase lets you develop tactical doctrines using AI-driven agents before testing them in competitive battles. Once your robots are honed, the second phase pits them against opponents' creations in either battle or territory modes, showcasing the effectiveness of your training. This blend of simulation, strategy, and AI research offers a unique experience for both gamers and AI enthusiasts.

Valheim is a co-op survival crafting game set in a procedurally generated Norse purgatory, blending base-building, exploration, and challenging boss fights with a striking low-poly art style.
