New on Steam: A unique strategy game and two major expansions are released this week

Numerous games are being released on Steam again this week. We have picked out the best new releases for you

This week, there are no big blockbusters on Steam, but you can still look forward to exciting new games. Among other things, a promising strategy game and two really big expansions will be released in the next few days. You can find all the important releases here in our weekly overview:

Highlight of the week: Songs of Silence

Songs of Silenceis a turn-based strategy game with real-time battles from Munich-based developer Chimera Entertainment. You build your cities on a world map, move your armies and have them start sieges or prepare ambushes. You then fight the battles against the AI opponents in real time.

What at first sounds like a fantasy total war actually has its very own rules. In the battles, which only last a few minutes (as in the video above), you mainly watch. You only determine your formation before the battle begins and trigger the special abilities of your units during the battle

Another special feature of Songs of Silence is the card system. All your actions, such as the aforementioned special abilities, recruiting new units and expanding your cities, work via playable cards that are dependent on your leaders.
