We hailed it as "a TV tie-in that's actually good" back when it launched in 2017, but if you want to play it for the first time, you'll need to buy one within the next week.

• You can grab Battlestar Galactica Deadlock for free this weekend - 7 April 2023

  The long-running sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica received a turn-based strategy spin-off a couple years ago. Focusing on the epic space battles alone, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock was generally well-reviewed at its launch in 2017, and it’s become increasingly popular in the years since, thanks to hefty post-launch support and a lack of other BSG-related things going on. Luckily, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is now free to keep on Steam until 6pm BST/ 10am PT/ 1pm ET on April 9th. Read more

• Welcome everyone, to the Season 2 Finale tournament - 29 September 2020

  Welcome everyone, to the Season 2 Finale tournament. With the completion of Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica Deadlock we thought it would be good to send her off with a bang, and to that end we wanted to take full advantage of the changes and improvements Deadlock has had over the years. This tournament will be running on 16k point matches, centred on the new multiplayer game mode Propaganda. Players will have to not only think big, but think smart, as this tournament is less about blasting your opponent off the map (though we love to see it!) and more about savvy use of terrain, control points, and balanced fleets between firepower and capture potential. We look forward to seeing what our wonderful community can cook up for this tournament. Signups are open as of today at the Deadlock Discord and are first come, first served. The tournament is looking to be 32 players strong, but we ca…

• Battlestar Galactica Deadlock - Dev Diary #27 'Captain's Hand' - 9 September 2020

  The Raptor slid through the emptiness of space. Lucinda did not know where they were anymore. She checked Helena’s pulse again with the fingers of her good hand. Still alive, somehow. “Oxygen is at 27%,” said Clothos, the IL’s hands moving lightly across the pilot console. “I again recommend that we put LSS into preservation mode while I—” “Keep it where it is.” Lucinda instinctively patted her sidearm for reassurance. “I intend to be awake when we land.” “That is my wish as well, Admiral.” Lucinda leaned back, rested her head on the cabin wall. She hurt everywhere, even through the emergency morpha. She dared not look at the ruin of her right arm. A moment of curiousity. “What do you want, Clothos?” “To complete my work,” replied the robot without hesitation. “Beyond that. Beyond your mandate. You never meant for Lachesis to wake up, did you?” “I wanted our threads entwined, unspooling…

• The best strategy games on PC in 2021 - 25 August 2020

  What are the best strategy games on PC? Some would say Command and Conquer, others Civilization VI while yet more still would say "actually, Civ IV was the better ga-" but at that point we'd stop listening because nobody cares. Join us as we explore a curated collection of the genre's greatest hits, from newcomers to classics. Fun fact: the strategy genre was first invented back in 1938, when Winston Churchill looked out an aeroplane window over France and thought, "Hey, this would make a really cool videogame, whatever that is." Probably. Since then, there have been about a hundred million different strategy games, simulating as many different kinds of fighting as we humans have had reasons to fight one another. Turn-based or real-time, grand strategy or tactical... this genre is as diverse as they come. But which are the absolute top strategy games on PC? Well, just drag a selection b…

• Battlestar Galactica Deadlock's upcoming Photo Mode makes the game look disgustingly good - 9 July 2020

  We've made no secret about the fact that we really like Battlestar Galactica Deadlock. It's a niche title, to be sure; there aren't that many tactical space combat games out there and not everyone may have seen or even enjoyed the reimagined TV show from 2004 (oh god-ED). That doesn't change the fact that it's excellent. Two task force-sized collections of ships duke it out in a semi-3D space. Both sides submit their orders at the same time, and gameplay is resolved in 'chunks' of time after which the action pauses so you can issue fresh orders. But one thing that doesn't get mentioned much is how pretty the game is. The team at Black Lab Games have a history of making games that look really good and feel very atmospheric, sometimes to the detriment of other features. Thankfully Deadlock has managed to improve on its shortcomings since its release in 2017, and it's still just as pretty.…
