GOG Winter Classics Promo Sale Discounts RTS and 4X Strategy Games
If you’ve experienced the excellent Age of Wonders 4 and were wondering how the games that led up to the latest entry in the series play, experiencing them is much easier now, thanks to hefty discounts on all of the previous three titles.
If you instead prefer your 4X strategy games set in space, Master of Orion 1 and 2 offer a blast from the past for a very low price, while Distant Worlds: Universe offers a slightly fresher take on conquering the galaxy.
Sid Meier’s Civilization III Complete then trades fantasy and sci-fi for our own history for a classic title belonging to what is the 4X strategy genre’s most popular series.
Over in RTS land, Stronghold Crusader 2: Special Edition throws us in the midst of large-scale medieval conflicts rendered in glorious 3D, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition gives us the most recent refresh for Relic Entertainment’s iconic grimdark title.
