he game is already available on GOG under the name Z: The Game by TickTock Games / Kiss. Unfortunately, many players have mentioned that it is a port from mobile systems and lacks features from the DOS/Win95 versions. I request a standalone release of the Win95 or DOS version of Z or the inclusion of the original game as part of the current purchase.
There are RTS games that rely on either speed of tactics. This is the only one where enduring the pressure the game forces on you is the most important key to beat it. The game is not only challanging, I also like the humor. I'm very curious whether GOG would add the original dos/windows version or the phone/tablet port.
I started gaming with the Westwood RTS games, and this one was... different. So very different.
The player is forced to take action, bring the fight to the enemy. Economy is directly tied to how much of the map you can hold. It is possible to slow production, or even steal enemy units, by taking the right territory at the right time. Infantry had real value in this game, despite being very vulnerable. Rifle fire could clean out tank and gun emplacement crews, permitting any infantry to take over enemy equipment. the ability to swim opened up new paths. And the AI used all of this properly. There was a bit of luck and random in all this, but it fit well with the madness and over the top feel of the game. As such, this game is a hidden gem of RTS that can still hold up to modern day games in terms of innovation and intelligent gameplay.

Devil May Cry 4: Collector's EditionThe player plays as Nero throughout most of the game. He is equipped with the Red Queen sword, Blue Rose revolver, and the powers of his Devil Bringer. The Red Queen features an Exceed Gauge that can be charged up, allowing for subsequent attacks that are more powerful than regular slashes, until the gauge empties. Nero also has the powers of his Devil Bringer, and can use it to pull himself towards enemies or vice versa. The Devil Bringer may also be used for context-sensitive throw attacks, leading to high damage and various effects depending on the enemy. Nero's Devil Bringer also gains new abilities during the course of the game, such as being able to detect secret missions or caches of Red Orbs. Nero eventually gains the ability to use Devil Trigger after getting the katana known as Yamato, which increases his Devil Bringer's power, thus changing his Devil Bringer attacks into more powerful versions with different animationsAction

Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles.
The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.Fantasy
