Dunno whether this counts (free full game, no DLC, 10+ years old) but I’m loving battle for wesnoth. Some dialogue is stunted but it’s among the best hex grid strategy games I’ve played.
That game’s closer to 20+ years old. It’s been a very long time since I’ve played it. It was way back when gaming on Linux was mostly limited to games that had a native Linux release.
I knew about its initial release but had no clue whether it was the same team or an offshoot so I settled for a safe 10 years.
I recommend picking it back up if you enjoyed the campaigns. It’s just recently reached a third renaissance with an abundance of new fan content. No clue why.
My bet, A youtuber discovered the game and made videos that did reasonably well in the indie audience, then other youtubers picked up and it snowballed some. I’ve been seeing more coverage of the game on youtube for a couple of years now.
I’ve played Wesnoth and had quite a bit of fun, but what makes it the best hex grid strategy game for you?
It tends not to dawdle and is open to customization. Want a map? Make it. Want a unit? Make it. If you really want to get obsessive about any aspect then the option is available. Top it off with surprisingly nice art, a good community, and a sprinkle of nostalgia and you get a spicy pizza pie.
