Who’s Excited for Star Wars Zero Company?
We are! At the Critical Moves Podcast, we did a deep dive on the recently announced Star Wars Zero Company, which was a blast! We discussed previous Star Wars strategy games (there aren’t that many, to be fair), and then we discussed what we already know will be in the game, but we also speculated on what we would love to see in it. It’s a great episode; give it a listen!
Critters Crossfire Is Good Old Fashion Fun!
A couple of days ago I got an email from the developer of Critter Crossfire, a turn-based tactics roguelike. It looks a bit silly, but the fact that you are the one aiming the shots and there are a bunch of obstacles on the maps makes Critters Crossfire quite an addicting and satisfying experience, despite the fact that it looks a bit like a fever dream! There’s a demo available, so give it a whirl, will you?

Gates of Hell: Ostfront Gets More Competent Medics
My life for Call to Arms – Gates of Hell: Ostfront is widely known by now, but one thing that has always annoyed me about the title is the amount of oversight the units need, especially the medics, and when you’re FUBAR in the middle of a battle, it can be hard to micromanage every single action necessary to make the most of these every important field rescuers. Fortunately, there’s a new feature, turned by default where medics will automatically revive soldiers as long as they’re close enough to them. This is a lifesaver, quite literally. By the way, the game’s currently on sale, so grab it if you want to play one of the best 100 games you need to play in 2025.
