Some people like to ease into the week, as though dipping toes into a frigid northern sea, and some people Monday Hard by wrapping their arms around an iceberg. Are you the latter kind of bather? Try this on for size, then: Riftborne is a real-time sci-fi grand strategy game that’s controlled using an old-fashioned, “terminal-style” interface.
Seize your silly computer mouse and feed it unto the dog. Where you’re going, there shall be no drag-selects, cursor animations, right-click menus, and all the rest of that piddly frippery you are accustomed to in these modern SO-CALLED “best strategy games“, with their cosseting, 32+ colour visuals that even your dog might be able to understand, assuming you didn’t just kill your dog by feeding her a piece of plastic.
