Crossout is a post-apocalyptic game focused on fighting using player-built vehicles. It was developed by Targem Games and published by Gaijin Distribution KFT. Creating your own battle vehicle is not difficult – choose a chassis, slap on some guns, armor, maybe a chainsaw or two for good measure – and you’re done. Making a battle vehicle that can actually win is much harder, because there are many different options to consider. There are many different weapons, ranging from aforementioned guns to power drills, flamethrowers, and even drones. There are many different movement options: wheels, tires, mechanical legs, and antigravity generators. There are many different engines, armor plates – many different parts in general. With such a variety, one needs to study what’s available and ensure that the resulting design is cohesive and supports a certain combat strategy. A vehicle built without a strategy in mind will not be able to compete. Then, of course, you’ll have to put theory into practice; even the best plan will not help you win if you can’t execute it. This game is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows. But it’s also possible to play Crossout on Mac, although this is not officially supported. The article below will explain how to do it.

How to play Eternal Return on Mac
Eternal Return is an anime-styled multiplayer game. Gameplay-wise, it combines Battle Royale and MOBA, two extremely popular genres. It was developed by Nimble Neuron and published by Kakao Games Europe. The game manages to address one important issue plaguing the MOBA genre – its disregard of individual players. In MOBAs, teamwork is so essential that any given person cannot amount to much on their own. A weak player in a strong team may find victories unsatisfying, since they didn’t contribute anything. And a strong player in a weak team will be constantly frustrated, as the team will lose despite the player’s best efforts. This isn’t fun. In Eternal Return, things are different. The Battle Royale mechanics ensure that your decisions will feel impactful, since your goal is not to win as a team – it’s to be the last man standing. Additionally, its slower gameplay alleviates the pressure to come up with a plan immediately; as a result, the players can make more complex and strategic decisions. Finally, Eternal Return features 1v1 and 2v2 matches, which put even more emphasis on each player’s individual performance. Although the game is officially available only on Windows PC, PS4, and Xbox One, there’s also a way to play Eternal Return on Mac. The article below will teach you more.

Age of Wonders 4 is the latest 4X game published by Paradox Interactive. As Paradox is known for their outstanding 4X games – like Stellaris and Crusader Kings III – this game became an instant hit, and is currently the best-selling 4X game on Steam. Set in a fantasy world, Age of Wonders 4 allows you to create your own race by defining their looks, their beliefs, and their supernatural powers. Though this may not sound like much, the amount of choices you are given allow you to recreate pretty much any fantasy race you may heard of, or come up with your own. This already gives the game plenty of replayability, but to meet Paradox’s high standards, a game should stay interesting for thousands of hours, not mere hundreds. So, they added more… The game’s extremely deep tactical system provides you with a myriad of ways to destroy your opponents, and the game’s strategic layer allows you to never reach that point in the first place. Forge alliances, research arcane mysteries, search for ancient artifacts and transcend the mortal realm – or focus on developing your economy, because even that was made fun and challenging in this excellent 4X game. Unfortunately, Age of Wonders 4 is available only on Windows PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. As usual, Apple computers are ignored. But there are still several ways to play Age of Wonders 4 on Mac. Read our article if you want to learn more.

The Last Spell is a tactical RPG developed by Ishtar Games. It is set in a fantasy world and contains roguelite mechanics. By the time The Cataclysm occurred, the world has been at war for many decades, and the nations were getting weary and exhausted. Magical warfare, though nothing new to the inhabitants of this world, has taken another – desperate – turn. All restraint, all finesse, all concern for collateral damage was abandoned when massive magical explosions rocked the land, destroying entire cities and poisoning the land around them with a strange, purple mist. Humanity was struggling to survive in this desolate, apocalyptic world it has created. And yet, that was only the beginning of the Cataclysm. Eventually, vile, mutated creatures started to come out at night, besieging the remaining settlements. And humans thus realized that they must do something, or face extinction. Their only hope for salvation was The Last Spell. An ancient ritual that no one has dared to cast before, intended to destroy all magic in the world. It requires several days of uninterrupted casting, however, and there are only a few surviving heroes to protect the mages while they chant. Can you accomplish this task when your resources are so limited? This game is available on PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows. But it is also possible to play The Last Spell on Mac. Read our guide to learn how.

Tactical RPG is a subgenre of roleplaying games with a gameplay focus on tactics and strategy. Typically, they are turn-based, and feature a group of playable characters rather than a single protagonist. That said, there are exceptions to this rule as well. It is not exactly easy to define what makes a game “tactical”. In the most broad sense, any complex combat system can be considered “tactical” to some degree. Most people, however, define a tactical combat system as a combat system with a focus on positioning. That is to say, the combat must take place on a map of some kind, and the units’ position on this map must be important to the course of the fight. There are other features that can make combat even more tactical, like different types of units, but positioning is considered essential. This is the definition we will be using in our list of best tactical RPGs for Mac.

DREDGE is a fishing game developed by Black Salt Games. In an unusual twist, the game features a dark story, not something you’d normally expect from a fishing simulator. As a captain of a fishing vessel, you will travel to a variety of remote islands, all with different aesthetics, inhabitants, and, of course, fish. Sell your catch and complete quests to earn money, which can be used to upgrade your boat. This will allow you to catch deep-water fish, travel further away from the land, and maybe even survive the night. “What is so dangerous about the night?”, you might ask. But some questions are better left unanswered. Make sure to always end your trip before the sun sets, and you will have nothing to fear. Madness, and only madness, awaits those who try to uncover the secrets of this sinister archipelago. DREDGE can be played on PS4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and, obviously, Windows PC. As you can see, Apple computers are not supported. Despite this, it is possible to play DREDGE on Mac; you simply need to use an unofficial solution. Read our guide and learn all about these.

Tribes of Midgard is an open-world survival game developed by Norsfell. It can be played solo or in a group of up to 10 people. Loosely based on Norse mythology, the game puts you in control of an Einherjar – a hero who have died in battle and was brought to Valhalla. But you will not spend any time in the Viking Eden. Instead, you will embark on a perilous journey, to rescue a god from the frozen hell known as Niflheim.

In the meantime, you will be able to pursue less heroic, but nonetheless fun activities, such as farming, construction, and fishing. Indeed, building and decorating your house could provide a welcome change of pace from intense and hectic adventuring.

Rogue Company is a tactical multiplayer shooter developed by First Watch Games. In this sci-fi universe, you play as an agent of the eponymous Rogue Company, who will send you on missions all around the globe. Of course, this is mostly just set dressing; a PvP-centric multiplayer game doesn’t have much place for a story, after all. So let’s get to part that actually matters: gameplay. This game is mainly played as a team deathmatch with 4 or 6 players per team. That said, other game modes are also available. As a tactical shooter, Rogue Company allows its players many different options for movement. You can roll, dodge, and slide, which is very useful for avoiding enemy fire or getting somewhere quickly. Of course, not everything can be dodged; the best defensive option is to stay in cover. This game is available on many different platforms. It can be played on PlayStation and Xbox game consoles, as well as on the Nintendo Switch. It can also be played on smartphones running iOS and Android, and on personal computers running Windows. Impressive! Alas, Mac is not supported. Despite this, there are several unofficial ways to play Rogue Company on Mac. Learn about them by reading the article below.

Contraband Police is a simulation game by Crazy Rocks. In this title, you will take on a role of a border guard. You will verify the documents of people who want to pass through, check the cars for contraband, and even shoot at some gangsters. This is not exactly a realistic game – guarding a border in real life is nowhere as exciting – but there are some realistic procedures you must follow. Documents of every person must be checked for forgery and other inconsistencies, in a process heavily inspired by Papers, Please. Sometimes, you will be ordered to refuse entry to certain groups of people even if their documents check out, so be aware of that. Checking the vehicles for contraband is a lot less bureaucratic: you scan the car with a UV flashlight in search of anything suspicious. If it looks like there might be something hidden – in a tire, or in a seat, for example – you destroy them to reveal the insides. Perfect if you’ve ever wanted to thoroughly trash a car. This game is available on Windows and… that’s it actually. Windows only. Despite this, there are several unofficial methods to play Contraband Police on Mac as well. Read the article below to learn about them.
