Just One More Turn - Turn-Based Games Deep Dive (Ep.72)
13/03/2026 | 42 min
It's Turnbased Thursday Fest week, and Al, Sid, and Jack are leaning in hard. This episode is a full deep dive into the turn-based genre: what makes it so compelling, why "just one more turn" became gaming's most universal phrase, and whether turn-based has quietly replaced RTS as the dominant strategy genre in 2026. The conversation covers Football Manager as a closet tactics game, Worms as a gateway to strategy, the surge of roguelikes and deck builders, why indie developers keep choosing turn-based over real time, and the debate that will never die: is Total War turn-based or RTS? Come for the strategy chat, stay for Sid trying to wiggle out of naming his favourite turn-based game.
Heart of the Machine 1.0 — Narrative Strategy, Time Loops & the Future of Arcen Games (Ep.71)
06/03/2026 | 1 h 32 min
Chris McElligott-Park (Arcen Games) returns to Critical Moves to discuss the 1.0 full release of Heart of the Machine, launching March 6th via Hooded Horse. We dig into what makes this strategy RPG unlike anything else in the genre — its branching morality system, the parallel timeline mechanic, and why Chris deliberately built a game that doesn't lock you into being a hero or a villain. Chris also talks about the complexity modes added to accommodate different playstyles, what a "complete" game means when you're dealing with 20–175 hours of content depending on how deep you go, and how he thinks about post-launch content without FOMOing players into anything. If you've been waiting for 1.0 to dive in, this is the episode to listen to first.

Steam NextFest 2026: The Good, The Bad, and The Unfinished (Ep.70)
27/02/2026 | 53 min
Timothy, Jack, and Adam review their Steam Nextfest demo experiences across a wide range of strategy titles, from a god game that felt genuinely finished to an RTS sequel that felt like 1994. The discussion moves beyond individual game impressions into a broader debate about what a demo should actually deliver in the current market, whether developers are arriving at Nextfest too early, and what Steam could do to help players navigate the volume of content on offer.

Space 4X: Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate (Ep.69)
20/02/2026 | 48 min
Al is joined by Joe and space 4X expert Sid to trace the complete history of the space 4X genre — from its board game roots in 1974 through the golden age of Master of Orion, the dry spell of the late 90s, the modernisation wave of 2010, and what the genre looks like today.
Sid also drops his top 5 space 4X games of all time, we debate why space 4X has never cracked the mainstream, and ask whether Star Trek and Star Wars IPs are perfect candidates for the 4X treatment — and why nobody has ever properly done it.

À propos de Critical Moves - Strategy Gaming

Critical Moves is a strategy games podcast that takes RTS, 4X, and tactics seriously. Most gaming podcasts don’t even bother with strategy games. We do. Each week we cover real-time strategy, turn-based tactics, 4X empire builders and indie experiments, plus shining a new light on old classics.These aren't quick reviews or recycled talking points. It’s sharp criticism and honest discussion about strategy game design. If a game is shallow or broken, we’ll say so. If it does something clever, we’ll explain why it works. We talk to developers and key industry figures, getting into the mechanics and design choices that shape the games we love.We're an RTS podcast, a 4X podcast, a place for smarter conversations about tactics and strategy gaming. Critical Moves is made for players who think about systems, mechanics, and design.New episodes every Friday.https://criticalmovespodcast.com
