Dark strategy and story games

Nine games from Arcade Distillery let you lead tactical squads, face plague-ruined cities and follow a family in occupied France.

This collection from Arcade Distillery gathers nine releases where you often guide small groups through harsh worlds. War Theatre and Plague Road ask you to position fighters, manage abilities and push through ruined lands, while Plague Hunters adds randomized runs with new perks each time. Around those tactical cores you also get side paths like Mecho Tales with run-and-shoot platforming and The Light in the Darkness with a quiet historical story told through daily choices.
