Title: Megaton Rainfall (Superhero Sim)

Not a wargame but... a procedurally-generated universe, fly at super-light speeds and blow aliens up.

A lot of potential with the engine, but the game as is, is lacking. First of all, it was meant to be played in VR, but due to an exclusive deal with Sony, it will not be available in VR on Vive/rift, until later in the year. Second, you are penalized for collateral damage and almost all mission should have a time component to them. You never are really permitted to explore and unleash the full potential of your powers die to this. If too much damage is caused, the mission ends in failure. The whole fun of the engine is destroying crap. They've taken what could do have been an extremely enjoyable time water and turned it into a tedious one.
