On the PC, strategy and simulation games are immensely popular, and now they're starting to gain momentum on the Xbox.

Four of Xbox Game Pass's Finest Turn-Based Strategy Titles That You Should Play

Developers are always looking for new ways to make more complex games playable with the Xbox controller despite the fact that many strategy titles perform better with mouse and keyboard control. Xbox should be able to satisfy your demands, regardless of whether your goal is to command enormous armies of space marines against hostile aliens or to build your own city from the bottom up. Turn-based games are getting increasingly popular, so if you're interested in playing one and perhaps want the potential chance to win money then you can do so on wish casinos. Within the online platform, you also have the available chance to play traditional casino games like blackjack, roulette, poker etc.

Nevertheless, within this article, we will be mentioning four turned-based strategy games that you can play via the Xbox Game Pass.

Age of Empires IV

The real-time strategy game Age of Empires IV, which was created by Relic Entertainment and World's Edge, builds on the incredible legacy of previous instalments in the Age of Empires series. It's similar to other real-time strategy games in that you have to build towns and armies while exploring the planet, but the graphics and gameplay have been enhanced. If you've never tried any of the previous games in the Age of Empires series before, you should start with Age of Empires IV and see if you enjoy the way it plays before moving on to any of the others in the series.

Cyberpunk Action-shooter RPG ‘The Ascent’ blasts onto Xbox and PC

Curve Digital and Swedish indie studio Neon Giant invite gamers to make their mark in the brave new world of Veles, as the studio’s highly anticipated debut title The Ascent (@AscentTheGame) launches today on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, as well as Xbox Game Pass (@XboxGamePass) and PC at 6pm BST / 7pm CEST / 10am PDT.

Cyberpunk Action-shooter RPG ‘The Ascent’ blasts onto Xbox and PC today

A solo and co-op action-shooter RPG set in a sci-fi cyberpunk world, The Ascent is the first title from Neon Giant, a new 12-person studio composed of games industry veterans who were some of the minds behind iconic AAA titles such as the Gears of War, Bulletstorm and Wolfenstein franchises.

The Ascent sees players dive into ‘The Ascent Group’ arcology, a self-contained corporate-run metropolis, stretching high into the sky and filled with creatures from all over the galaxy. Taking on the role of an indentured worker, the world starts to go haywire when The Ascent Group shuts down for unknown reasons. Life becomes a case of survival, with rival corporations and crime syndicates looking to fill the empty space and players having to take up arms to hold them off.

About three years ago we founded Neon Giant; a small game dev studio with the belief that with the right focus and mindset, even just a few people can create grand experiences and high quality games,” said Tor Frick, Creative Director and co-founder of Neon Giant. “We have a passion for creating living worlds and action gameplay - it’s in our DNA from our shared history in the industry and The Ascent is the result of our team’s passion and hard work.”
