Solo Gamer Gift Guide 2023
Posted by Renegade Games on Nov 17th 2023
Sometimes there's nothing better than setting up alone with a great solo game. We at Renegade know this as well as anyone and have created a whole series of games just for that! This guide covers those as well as a couple of other solo favorites!
Warp’s Edge is a solo bag-building game of space combat. Pilot one of four starfighters, which each have their own unique weapon loadouts. You’ll be facing off against one of five alien motherships and its accompanying fleet. Every matchup offers a different challenge, pushing you toward new strategies and tactics. You have a limited number of time warps to succeed, so choose wisely as you improve your arsenal and learn new skills!
You hear engines in the distance as you strap the last of your supplies onto your vehicle. The supplies are yours now, stolen from the bad tribe in hopes to get them to the helpless strongholds on the other side of the mountain. To get there you’ll have to get your hunk of junk through the wrecklands, a single stretch of road full of marauders and mercenaries. Judging by the sound of the engines, you have a few moments to weld another precarious weapon to the hood of your lovable ride. She ain’t pretty, but she’s yours. And every shot is going to count as you make your wreckland run!
In Hadrian’s Wall, you take on the role of a Roman General, placed in charge of constructing a milecastle and bordering wall. Over 6 years (rounds), you'll construct yourfort and wall, man the defenses, and attract civilians by building services and providing entertainment – all while defending the honour of the Roman Empire from the waring Picts. Accumulate Renown, Piety, Valour, and Discipline, whilst avoiding Disdain, and prove to the Emperor you are the model Roman citizen and be crowned Legatus Legionis!
Hadrian's Wall has a great solo mode and even a free solo campaign available for download here.
Maia Strongheart stands alone against the world. A cabal of conspirators has framed her for the death of her own mother, the Sun Queen, and these traitors intend to usurp the throne from her family. To prove her own innocence and reclaim her birthright, Maia must step into the Proving Grounds to complete a trial that will stretch her combat skills to the limit. Will the Wizened’s chosen daughter vanquish her foes in the arena? Or will she be overwhelmed by the conspirators and their evil aspirations?
While fully-playable with up to 4 astronomers, The Search for Planet X provides an immersive and challenging solo deduction experience as you scour the night sky for the elusive Planet X!
Legacy of Yu is a solo-only, fully-resettable, nonlinear campaign game in which you step into the role of the legendary hero of the Xia Dynasty, Yu the Great. It will be your job to build the canals ahead of the impending flood, while also defending your growing village against neighboring barbarian tribes. With each game, stories will be shared and new gameplay elements added. The campaign features a self-balancing system which adapts to how well you are doing. The campaign ends once you either win or lose seven games.
Expansions & Accessories
You're far from home, deep in hostile territory. Can you exploit the anomalies your overclocked Warp Drive is creating or will they be your downfall?
Pilot a new starfighter, and take down a new mothership in this brand new expansion that also adds the exciting but dangerous anomaly tokens!
This first expansion for Warp's edge is chock full of new enemies, skills, two new starfighters to pilot, and two devious new motherships to try and take down!
Welcome back to the Wreckland. You’ve made quite a name for yourself on your past runs, but there is always room for growth and new threats appear from out o fthe wastes every day. These new enemies are bringing new TOXIC weapons into play, sure to slow down your carnage. But you’ve also been outfitted with new MISSILE weapons, capable of long-range damage. New vehicles, new enemies, new bosses...time to run AGAIN!
