I'm a big fan of RTS games, so when I heard about "They Are Billions", I had to buy it 
. It had a really popular launch and there was a lot of hype on Steam:

It's a little like a city building game (like the Anno series), but one where you're only competing against a horde of AI zombies. You need to defend your town centre building at all costs, which involves you researching tech and building a town around it. Likely surrounded by a wall and turrets!
This game is really hard. The first few times you play it, don't expect to win... it's very unforgiving. At one point, I almost gave up playing it - but persisted. It's not a game to play for an easy ride
.
It is still in "early access" on steam - which would normally be a red flag for me. However, this game is in a very playable state - but the big single player campaign is still in development.
I'll post a bit more in a few months, once the full version is released.
