Used to play this on my Windoze PC, but now I can play it almost everywhere. For all the times I've played this I have only won once, but I still love it.
Not a shoot 'em up type game, it takes strategy and patience. Probably why I never win.

Takes inspiration from War Games and gives you a nice way to destroy the world (and your mom) from your computer. So underrated. I recommend listening to nightcore music while playing this. Will note, there's a lot to learn but once you have gotten a hang out of the mechanics, it's really fun. There's also dedicated servers where you can specifically play against other new players and ones where you can try your hand at more experienced folks. Have fun!
