Apoc Wars (Free)

What’s it about? Take on other players over the Internet in Apoc Wars, a real-time strategy game with a post-apocalyptic setting.

What’s cool? Apoc Wars is a real-time strategy title, which means that it’s a game in which players take on the role of a battlefield commander, issuing orders to various units and moving them around the battlefield to win victories. Like other games in the genre, it requires players to build and manage bases, defend them from attackers, and train units that can be sent into battle. The cool thing about Apoc Wars is that it’s a social multiplayer title, which means you can build allegiances with friends and use them to take down enemies.

Who’s it for? Fans of the RTS genre who like playing and interacting with friends should get a kick out of Apoc Wars.
