Gambitious and Vile Monarch’s Crush Your Enemies is a brutal barbarian RTS that I got to check out at PAX South this year, and it looks like some challenging fun in the vein of Galcon and similar games. You have different hordes of barbarians that you must send to conquer spots on the maps, spawning new barbarians and strategically trying to complete your mission: to crush your enemies! Developed by Vile Monarch, including two developers of, believe it or not, This War of Mine ($13.99), and a soundtrack from the composer of that game and The Witcher 3, this is set to release on June 9th.
Crush Your Enemies may be about, well, crushing your enemies, but it’s also about crushing the barriers between platforms. Desktop and mobile players will both get the same game on the same date. And the multiplayer will work crossplatform, which is always a welcome feature, and should ensure plenty of players are there for you to crush or be crushed by. The only difference between the two versions? Mobile players pay $4.99, compared to the desktop version’s $9.99. Viva mobile!
