Metal Knights

About

Metal Knights is a turn-based strategy game where players build empires, manage resources, and wage wars across hex-based maps. Each match revolves around positioning units with distinct strengths and weaknesses, balancing economic growth with military expansion. The single-player mode offers campaigns against AI opponents while the multiplayer component lets players team up or battle online. Matches emphasize long-term planning over quick reflexes with victories determined by territorial control and resource dominance. Released in 1994 this title was among the first PC strategy games to include online play through early internet connections. While its blocky 2D graphics and clunky interface feel dated by modern standards many retro gaming forums still list it as a foundational title in the TBS genre. Strategy-focused players curious about 90s-era tactics design might find the core loop engaging though newer entries in the space offer smoother mechanics and richer visuals.
