Tried the demo and it's pretty fun! It mixes card-stacking with management sim, and even has some automation. 😄 >Build your magic academy in this card realm, recruit students, manage their tasks or classes, perform rituals, and explore a perilous magical world. Faced with the encroachment of the Abyss, can you live up to people's expectations and save the empire from crisis?

Is there anyone else still playing [Heroes of Might and Magic 3](https://store.steampowered.com/app/297000/Heroes_of_Might__Magic_III__HD_Edition/) like me? Even though it's an old game, I never get tired of it. The new games like [Pennon and Battle](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2915660/Pennon_and_Battle/), [Songs of Conquest](https://store.steampowered.com/app/867210/Songs_of_Conquest/), which have similar gameplay to HoMM3 are also nice for me. It's my favorite in the HoMM series. 

I used to play RTS games like Warhammer, then got into [Heroes of Might and Magic](https://store.steampowered.com/app/297000/Heroes_of_Might__Magic_III__HD_Edition/) and its spin-offs like [Pennon and Battle](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2915660/Pennon_and_Battle/). I've also played [XCOM 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/268500/XCOM_2/) and [Age of Wonders 4](https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/1669000/). Any other must-play series you'd recommend? 

Any new strategy games worth checking out? Recently tried [Pennon and Battle](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2915660/Pennon_and_Battle/), which is similar to HOMM, and the roguelike strategy game [Into the Breach](https://store.steampowered.com/app/590380/Into_the_Breach/). Just waiting for HOMM Olden Era to come out! 

Happy new year guys!😀 Just now, it hit midnight here, and it's officially 2025. I was playing [Pennon and Battle](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2915660/Pennon_and_Battle/), and I realized it's the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I'm curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era — Music Announce  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7UiZws6vL0 Unfrozen and Paul Anthony Romero are collaborating again to compose music for the new HOMM Olden Era. It's so exciting, and it's a favorite among strategy game players! [Pennon and Battle](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2915660/Pennon_and_Battle/) and [Songs of Conquest](https://store.steampowered.com/app/867210/Songs_of_Conquest/) from 2024 were great, and I'm looking forward to the return of the Heroes of Might and Magic series in 2025! 

I found a new strategy wargame "[Pennon and Battle](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2915660/Pennon_and_Battle/)" on Steam. It's surprising to see that there are still teams willing to make games similar to [Heroes of Might and Magic III](https://store.steampowered.com/app/297000/Heroes_of_Might__Magic_III__HD_Edition/). It can't help but remind me of the good old days when I used to play H3. 

After starting work, I feel so tired every day, so I just want to play some casual games. Recently, I'm playing survivor-like games like [Vampire Survivors](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1794680/Vampire_Survivors/) and [Darkchaser](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2884590/Darkchaser_Battletide/). They're simple and fun, but after a while, they get a bit boring. So, I'm looking for other casual game recommendations, preferably single-player games that can be paused at any time, like [Plants vs Zombies](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3590/Plants_vs_Zombies_GOTY_Edition/). Thanks！ 

[Wukong](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2358720/Black_Myth_Wukong/) is definitely one of my favorite games this year. I haven't played Souls-like games before, I mostly played action roguelikes like [Dead Cells](https://store.steampowered.com/app/588650/Dead_Cells/), [Temtem:swarm](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2510960/Temtem_Swarm/) and [Darkchaser](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2884590/Darkchaser_Battletide/). So, Wukong is a bit challenging but very fun for me. I still remember the excitement after defeating The Great Sage's Broken Shell. 

The Steam achievement in [Darkchaser](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2884590/Darkchaser_Battletide/) is quite interesting—one of them requires you to travel the distance equivalent to circling the Earth once, and another requires the distance from the Earth to the Moon.  However, I still want to complain: is anyone actually able to complete this? I know it's a game that requires you to run around all the time, and I've already played for 100 hours, but it's still far from enough  :D  

SteamDeck TOP Played list. In the past week, I've already spent dozens of hours on the new DLC of [Brotato](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2868390/Brotato_Abyssal_Terrors/) and [Vampire Survivors](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3210350/Vampire_Survivors_Ode_to_Castlevania/), it's so addictive! In a few weeks, there will also be the official releases of [DarkchaserBattletide](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2884590/Darkchaser_Battletide/) and [Jotunnslayer](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2820820/Jotunnslayer_Hordes_of_Hel/). There are just too many survivor-like games to play! 

Just share the shoot, and of course you can leave your work👍
