Soccer Manager

Soccer Manager is a football management sim built around the idea of giving you the keys to a real club and letting you handle the entire operation. Instead of controlling players directly, you act as the manager, shaping results through training schedules, tactical choices, transfers, staffing decisions, and long-term upgrades like improving club facilities. With a large list of licensed teams to pick from, it aims to deliver the familiar fantasy of taking a giant to another title, or dragging an underdog up the table through smart planning and steady squad building.

Battleline: Steel Warfare

Battleline: Steel Warfare is a free-to-play MMO built around team-based tank battles, but it does not play like a traditional vehicle shooter. Matches lean heavily on positioning, timing, and coordinated pushes, combining direct tank combat with ability-driven tactics that feel closer to RTS and MOBA design. You pick from a roster of historical tanks, tune your loadout with researched skills and consumables, then work with allies to seize and hold the front line.
