This open-source, turn-based strategy game is fun once you learn the basics, although it can be a bit choppy compared to most modern games. The object is to build a hero and strategically use your units to attack the enemy and conquer villages as you follow your quest. The story line is interesting and provides a nice backdrop to the game play which can get confusing once several units on both sides enter into the fray. The two-dimensional graphics are nothing special, and the sounds aren't very advanced, but as a free game with large quests and multiplayer capabilities, it's hard to focus on these drawbacks. Overall, we think this game makes up for its graphical shortcomings with solid game play and tons of replay value. With customizable units and multiplayer capabilities, Battle for Wesnoth has plenty to offer anyone interested in strategy gaming.
This is a fantasy-focused turn-based strategy game with units carrying over and gaining experience between scenarios. Both single player campaigns and multiplayer games are supported. This game is currently being actively developed, but is already at in a highly playable state. Although cross platform in nature, great effort is being put into making the application as Mac-like as possible on this platform.
