recently I've been enjoying skulls of the shogun a lot, probably my favourite game of the year so far. it reminded me how much I like games like frozen synapse, FTL and openRA (no page for that?), so I was wondering what other cool indie strategy games are out there at the moment. what with XCOM and fire emblem hitting it big in the mainstream recently I feel like there's probably more demand for these kind of games

War of the Human Tanks might be worth looking into. Haven't played it personally but I've heard good things about it and it was the first thing that popped into my mind. The folks who localized it are also bringing 99 Spirits (no page) over this year.

Revenge of the Titans is pretty cool.
