Overview
Description

In the year 2117 Earth is enslaved by the alien Arelians and their brutal Zorn henchmen. As Jorel, a psionically resistant survivor, you rally a team of rebels to strike back against the oppressive regime. The game blends a gritty sci‑fi narrative with deep tactical gameplay, letting you equip and command a squad across diverse missions. Rebelstar: Tactical Command offers a full campaign, skirmish battles, and both hotseat and online multiplayer modes. Every decision matters as you balance positioning, abilities, and limited resources to outwit the enemy and restore hope to humanity.

Space Crusade is a faithful digital adaptation of the classic 1990 Games Workshop/Milton Bradley board game. It captures the strategic depth of turn‑based squad combat in a futuristic setting. Developed and published by Gremlin Graphics in 1992, the game offers both single‑player missions and multiplayer skirmishes, letting players command elite troops against alien threats on detailed hex‑grid battlefields.
