Strategy games encompass many unique design philosophies and mechanics. Each game needs to bring some new spin to the table, whether that's a new world for the player to immerse themselves in, a unique twist on typical tropes of the subgenre, or complexity and tactical depth to keep the more dedicated players engrossed for hours on end. What's important in a strategy game is that players feel like their every move has a bearing on the outcome of a situation, whether that's difficult narrative choices or intense battles with many units.
