Let’s heat things up a little

Some people like to charge straight into battle, guns blazing, to take out as many foes as they can before going down for the final count. I totally get that — it’s cathartic to run into the fray like a madman and cause mayhem in that short, glorious moment of time. Others, however, prefer to take their time to plan their attack, to savor the strategy of battle and see their cunning plans come to fruition.

If you’re part of the latter, check outFrozen Synapse 2. You might even win a free Steam key!

Frozen Synapse 2is the sequel to the hit indie strategy game,Frozen Synapse. Turn-based strategic battles are the name of the game here; to survive in Markov Geist, you’ll need to navigate the political waters that drown the city. But whether that path involved peaceful negotiation or more hostile tactics is up to you as you attempt to keep an uneasy balance between the city’s warring factions. With new multiplayer modes, new weapons, and new strategies,Frozen Synapse 2provides everything you loved from the critically-acclaimed original — and more.

Comment below for your chance to win. Developer Mode 7 wants to know your best strategy for keeping peace between warring factions. For me, I like to make sure everyone has plenty of pizza and hand sanitizer. If you give them a lot of pizza, their hands will get greasy. If you provide lots of hand sanitizer, they can keep their hands clean for stuff like handshakes and peace accords. With greasy hands, the whole system breaks down. It’s really all about keeping everyone clean and fed!
