This Steam Next Fest, I haven't really been playing that many demos. I'll usually pick out a few, but with so many good, great games out now, I just didn't have the time. But peeping in just to look around, I found a gem of a game that immediately fired my boomer brain's neurons.
The game is Master of Command, a real-time strategy game that puts you in the midst of one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history, which, of course, took place in Europe, because where else would it be? It's the Seven Years' War, a proto-world war where European powers, chiefly France, Prussia, Britain, and Russia, clashed and fought for, well, seven years. Line warfare took the central spot during the conflict, as did artillery, revolutionizing warfare forever.
