How to play Warhammer 40K games on Mac

James Kramer July 6, 2022 No Comments

Initially being a constantly-developing tabletop game from 1987, the whole Warhammer 40000 universe has brought massive attention and grown into a world of truly fascinating video games. It is a real-time strategy taking place in a fictional military world where incredibly technological human civilization is set to fight against alien creatures contaminating the world. There are more than 5 most positively-acclaimed chapters from the whole Warhammer 40000 series – Dawn of War; Space Marine; Mechanicus; Inquisitor; and Space Hulk are only a few out of many more to consider depending on what genre you like. Whether you desire to sit back and see your troops grow while building the base or slash through detestable orcs as a marine soldier from a first-person perspective, there is always one matching your needs in the Warhammer world of video games. Take all the determination you have and become a true warrior who will lead his troops to the long-awaited victory. Warhammer 40000 series are not only about monotonous fighting, but also the plot that evolves continuously during the game. Immerse yourself into the grim and dark future of old and recently developed installments, where bloodthirsty action against alien creatures sees no logical ending. Players are now in especially high anticipation of Darktide – a new, intense and brutal action co-op shooter looking to score new heights in the Warhammer world. While some series pieces can be played on Mac, many of them are still heavily focused on Windows, lacking support for macOS. Our guide below will solve this problem and help you launch any non-supported Warhammer 40000 video game on macOS. Parts of this article could also be useful for Windows users to overcome hardware boundaries that cannot afford a high-graphics gameplay experience.

How to play Vikingard on PC or Mac

Ringo Starfield June 22, 2022 No Comments

Vikingard is a mobile game developed by Netease. The developers describe the game’s genre as “casual simulation RPG”, though it is worth noting that the game has strong base-building elements as well. There are many different features and systems in Vikingard beyond that, though. You can collect many Viking-themed characters, train them and equip them with gear. You can also date the characters, though everything will remain strictly family-friendly. Another game mechanic is raising pets – they will provide your tribe with various benefits.
While it is possible to play this game completely alone, joining an alliance is very beneficial. A strong alliance is tremendously useful to its members – but it also takes effort to make your Alliance into a strong one. As alliances compete for limited resources, clashes will inevitably happen – an opportunity to engage in PvP with long-term benefits to the victor.
Player competition doesn’t always have to be serious, however. To spice up the gameplay, Vikingard also has several mini-games that can be played competitively. With significantly lower stakes, mini-games are a game mode that leaves no hard feelings – a good way to make friends in-game.
Vikingard is available only on iOS and Android devices… officially. It is still possible to play Vikingard on PC or Mac, and this guide will show you how.

How to play Empires & Puzzles: Match-3 RPG on PC or Mac

Ringo Starfield June 22, 2022 1 Comment

Empires & Puzzles: Match-3 RPG is a mobile game by the famous studio Zynga. As evidenced by the name, the game is a different spin on the match-3 genre. The main idea is that match-3 mechanics are integrated into a context of a larger game. Empires & Puzzles is a base-building game at its core, where you can gather resources, collect and improve heroes, craft equipment, and – perhaps most importantly – engage in combat.
Combat is simulated with match-3 gameplay – you need to match elements to deal damage, the color of the elements matched determines the type of damage dealt (enemies may be weak or strong against certain types), and the position of the elements on the board determines which enemies take damage in the first place.
The game features both PvE and PvP content. The game’s expansive adventure mode is the main source of PvE combat opportunities – completing it provides the player with resources and other bonuses. PvP, on the other hand, is mainly implemented as a war between in-game factions (alliances). Each player either joins an alliance or creates their own, at which point they can fight other alliances for resources and landmarks.
The game’s casual nature ensured that it remained a smartphone exclusive, playable on Android and iOS only. But it is still possible to play Empires & Puzzles: Match-3 RPG on PC or Mac – the guide below will explain how.

How to play Match Masters on PC or Mac

Ringo Starfield June 20, 2022 No Comments

Match Masters is a competitive match-3 game by Candivore LTD. Putting a new spin on the tried-and-true formula, Match Masters manages to bring innovation to an otherwise stale match-3 genre. This is accomplished by making the game revolve around PvP (player vs. player, or simply competitive gameplay). Both players share the same board, and take turns. So, for example, if you use your turn to set up a high-value combination, like you would in a normal match-3 game, your opponent will be the one to capitalize on it the next turn, not you! Unsurprisingly, this makes playing the game and getting high scores significantly harder.
To increase the strategic depth of the game, each player can choose between one out of twenty special powers – called Boosters – that can alter the situation on the board to the player’s advantage. The Boosters need to be charged by combining certain elements – blue stars for the blue player and red circles for the red player – which, given the competitive nature of the game, is not easy. Combining the elements of your opponent does not charge your Booster, but it denies them the opportunity to charge theirs – something both of you will be doing.
Match Masters is an exclusively mobile game, available only on iOS and Android. However, there are several ways to play Match Masters on PC or Mac – read the guide below to learn about them.

How to play Star Trek Fleet Command on Mac

Ringo Starfield June 20, 2022 No Comments

Star Trek Fleet Command is a strategy game in the 4X genre – for those unfamiliar, 4X means “eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate”, four major game mechanics that these strategies revolve around. Set in the popular Star Trek franchise, the game would be incomplete without the iconic characters – so the developers did include the post popular ones. Captain Kirk, Spock, Scotty, as well as other characters, make an appearance in the game. When it comes to gameplay, Star Trek Fleet Command also doesn’t disappoint. Each player is given a space station and a ship at the beginning of the game. By acquiring resources through mining, combat, and completing missions, the players can obtain more ships. Space stations, on the other hand, are unique – a player can only have one. To compensate for this, space stations are upgradable. Turn-based combat of the game allows the players to make tactical and calculated decisions, which is appropriate given the franchise. Finally, the players can join an alliance – a faction of players, basically. Alliances fight each other for the control of the galaxy – they control territories, and can capture them from other alliances. Star Trek Fleet Command is primarily a smartphone game, available on Android and iOS, but it has a Windows version as well. Not Mac though! Unfortunate, but with the help of this guide you will be able to play Star Trek Fleet Command on Mac anyway.

How to play Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 on Mac

Ringo Starfield June 17, 2022 No Comments

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is an upcoming sequel to the widely-acclaimed Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. The game will be published by Paradox Interactive, a studio that published many great games like Surviving the Aftermath. Similarly to the first Bloodlines game, Bloodlines 2’s protagonist will be a human revived as a vampire. This means that the players will likely have a high degree of freedom when customizing their character, compared to, say, Swansong. The downside is that the converted human’s vampiric abilities are less powerful – but this can be seen as beneficial from a design perspective, as it will allow for better character progression. Not much is known about the game’s story just yet. It will begin with several vampires going rogue and converting humans en masse – our character being one of them. The story will explore how the life of the protagonist will be impacted by their sudden conversion, and how they will integrate into the vampiric world. The player character will be able to join one out of five vampiric clans – Brujah, Tremere, Toreador, Ventrue, and Malkavian. The original Bloodlines featured seven clans – but the developers promise to add more to Bloodlines 2 post-release. The developers have stated that they plan to release Bloodlines 2 on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox One & Series X/S. Mac support is not planned – but with this guide, you will learn how to play Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 on Mac without any official support.

How to play Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt on Mac

Ringo Starfield June 16, 2022 No Comments

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt is a free game set in the World of Darkness, a franchise known for its tabletop games and story-driven videogames. This game, however, deviates from that formula. Unlike Bloodlines 2 or Swansong, or indeed most other Vampire: The Masquerade games, Bloodhunt does not focus on the storyline, as it is a multiplayer game in the battle royale genre. Bloodhunt’s unique setting helps it stand out from many, many other games in the same genre – the fact that the characters are vampires shakes things up quite a bit. For example, vampires’ supernatural abilities let them scale buildings with ease, making the game highly vertical. Feeding on hapless civilians, meanwhile, is a quick and easy way to recover health. The Masquerade, an important part of the setting, is used to balance these powerful abilities. The existence of the supernatural is supposed to be hidden from regular people, and those who transgress this law will be punished – for 60 seconds, everyone will be able to see the offender on the map. Of course, you also cannot expect to win without using these abilities at all… and so, the players constantly need to decide whether using their superpowers is worth the punishment or not. The game is only available on Microsoft Windows and Sony PlayStation 5, but with the help of this guide, you will also be able to play Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt on Mac.

How to play Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus on Mac

James Kramer June 15, 2022 No Comments

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a sequential chapter after the widely-applauded Wolfenstein: The New Order was first released in 2014. The bloodthirsty first-person shooter yet again spawns you into a body of William Joseph Blazkowicz, who, in unity with his comrades, builds up resistance against the parasitic Nazi regime set up by Germany in the alternative futuristic past. Likewise, to the previous Wolfenstein chapter, the game combines scenes of severe shooting and stealth types of mission approaches. Players will also experience numerous cut scenes and character-to-character dialogues, forming the whole plot full of unexpected twists. Being a Polish-rooted Jew, actively hunted and simultaneously feared by enemy forces, you will die and revive to be in the head of resistance and go through a bloody path to put the end to Nazi bastards who hold the entire world in terror and promote non-humanistic order of living. The New Colossus was released in 2017 and has no official release for macOS. Although it is like that indeed, the tutorial below will help you launch and play it on highly satisfying graphics even on game-shallow macOS.
