We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Victor and pick his brain. So, if you’re interested in getting some behind-the-scenes details about Shadow Empire and learning about what treats may be in store for this intriguing title, read on below!

Grogheads Impressions – Jupiter Hell!
Jupiter Hell is a traditional roguelike currently under development by ChaosForge. It is set on a futuristic moon station that you might recognize from the golden era of ‘90s gaming. You play as a Totally-Not-Doom-Guy fighting for desperate survival against swarms of demons and zombie soldiers who all happen to be armed to the teeth. Along the way you’ll find plenty of pistols, shotguns, grenades, med-kits, and BFGs to fend off the hordes of Hades. Sound familiar? More importantly, if it sounds fun – keep on reading for our impressions!

Grogheads Reviews! Panzer Corps 2: Axis Operations Spanish Civil War
The Spanish Civil War raged from 1936 to 1939, ending when Franco and the Nationalists gained full control of the country. The Soviet Union aided the Republicans while Germany and Italy aided the Nationalists. The major powers tested equipment and doctrines later used in Europe during World War 2. The Spanish Civil War has seldom been addressed by computer wargames – with notable exceptions being Battles for Spain and Espana 1936.
Axis Operations – Spanish Civil War is the first expansion for Panzer Corps 2, developed by Flashback Games and published by Slitherine Ltd. Sixteen scenarios are included starting with Nationalist troop movements from Spanish Africa and ending in 1939. Panzer Corps 2 is required to play Axis Operations – Spanish Civil War. The base price for Axis Operations is $14.99, a reasonable price for a sixteen-scenario campaign.
