Punk Wars

I loved turned base combat, but I have been grinding on the campaign first level for most of my play and the map layouts create chokepoints and the AI has ranged weapons that are not counterable. The flying vehicles have to act as ground vehicles so no real counter. So I have been just stuck in an unnecessary grindy choke point. I liked a lot about the potential but going to call it quits. Definitely look forward for some patches or redesigns of the campaign maps. Until then trying something else. Best of luck

Had to return this garbage, it lags like crazy in OBS and even on lowest settings it's laggy/unplayable.

At first the game may looks like Sid Meier's Civilization. It is NOT. DO NOT BUY this full price. Buy it like when it is 1.99 or else you will regret it. Storyline it is very shallow. There isn't any depth at all. The story bits may keep you interest it for awhile but the rest is very mediocre. The gameplay is very similar as Sid Meier's Civilization. So it is easy to learn.

This game has a lot going for it. Its a refreshing turned based strategy, I love the inclusion of steam and dieselpunk. It is however lacking in several areas. This game would benefit greatly from procedural map generation and more customizations for startup. This game would also benefit from options to speed up any aspect of the game that the player deems necessary. Research should be a tree, allowing the player to focus on how they want to evolve their military. The core of its problem in my opinion is how slow it feels, even for a turned based strategy, its slow. The game seems to emulate the experience of a economy management system like Civ, but barely manages to include it. It all honestly feels more like a hindrance in its current state. The same could be said for the technology researching. Then there's a happiness factor as well, which I believe doesn't actually work as intended. I built and improved several buildings meant to keep the people happy but nothing affected that counter/meter. Altogether too much time micromanaging. The combat is engaging, I wasn't able to satiate myself. I believe any method to allow a player to engage combat without being forced to wait per…

Different societies reinventing technology in a completely different direction, with different power sources. Brilliant retrofuturism and postapocalypse synthesis that feels like Mad Max, Fallout, WW2 post-apo and Victorian era post-apo mixing on a single 4X map, having its distinctive vibe. Every unit and building has its style and the map itself is interesting by having different height levels joined by passages instead of just a flat wasteland, which feels and looks nice.

Punk Wars, developed by Strategy Forge S.A. and published by Jujubee S.A. in collaboration with Strategy Forge itself, is a post-apocalyptic strategy game that blends turn-based tactics with 4X-style empire management in a world where industrial ideologies have replaced nations. Set after civilization’s collapse, four rival factions—Steampunk, Dieselpunk, Atompunk, and Steelpunk—emerge from the ashes, each representing a different vision of technological survival and progress. Their war for dominance unfolds across desolate cityscapes filled with crumbling ruins, toxic wastelands, and scarce resources, all of which must be controlled and exploited to ensure survival. At first glance, Punk Wars captures attention with its ambitious mix of mechanics and its unique aesthetic premise, but beneath that creativity lies a game that, while conceptually strong, struggles to balance its systems and sustain momentum over time. The premise of Punk Wars is simple yet compelling. Each faction embodies a distinct ideology and approach to rebuilding society, not just in visual design but also in gameplay structure. The Steampunk faction relies on mechanical ingenuity and mobility, fielding airshi…
