While strategy games have always been niche, their quality has consistently been on the rise, and the year 2024 seems to follow the trend. The stacked year saw several games releasing, some of which were sequels to popular titles or remakes, while others were brand-new IPs looking to make a mark.
Tons of innovation, creativity, and love for this historic genre were on clear display with these games. In this list, we shall go over the six best strategy games that were released in 2024.
1) Frostpunk 2
Frostpunk 2 is the sequel to 2018’s Frostpunk. The game throws you into a post-apocalyptic snow blizzard setting where winter has taken over and is the norm. Amidst these harsh conditions, your task is to help civilization persevere and survive, and maybe thrive. It sees you balancing several resources, establishments, and a decaying and fragile society. Frostpunk 2 expands on the original’s mechanics and scope, truly fitting in with the trend of sequels being bigger and better.
2) Age of Mythology Retold
Age of Mythology Retold is a remake, or more so a reimagining of the original Age of Mythology from 2002. The game faithfully recreates the original game while spicing up the experience through enhanced visuals and new mechanics. If you’re into base building, resource management, and the idea of building a historic empire appeals to you, Age of Mythology Retold will be your ideal game.
3) Manor Lords
Manor Lords was one of the most anticipated games heading into 2024, and boy, did it live up to the hype. Set in a medieval European setting, the game puts you into the shoes of a medieval feudal lore, and what you do from here on is completely up to you. The game features elements of city building, resource management, and battles waged against other lords. The game’s gritty and realistic setting adds to the charm and makes it a must-play.
4) Godsworn
Godsworn was one of the sleeper hits of the year and flew under quite a few people’s radar. The game takes inspiration from classics such as Age of Mythology and Warcraft 3, pulling players back into the golden age of the genre. Simple visuals paired with an extensive settlement system and deep mechanics make this one of the best games of the year, truly living up to the standards of the games it is inspired by.
5) 9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far
9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far was another one of the games that didn’t get the recognition it deserved. A sequel to the 8-Bit Armies series, the game upscales the mechanics and visuals of the original to bring you a fresh new experience. In this battle sim strategy game, you take charge of modern combat units and armies and lead them into the heart of war. How you approach the battle and your strategy will make or break the war.
6) Cataclismo
The final game on this list, Cataclismo, is a tower defense strategy game. You’re stranded in a zone to defend, and what you do to defend is completely up to you. You have to build a fortress by scavenging for resources and then arm your fortress against impending doom. The game offers great freedom when building your towers, allowing players to flex their creative muscles. The mix of creativity, resource management ,and strategy makes this one of the best strategy games of the year.
