Eclipse War Online is a new card collecting MMORPG with over 700 cards to collect and the ability for your character to transform into an monster in the game.

This transformation ability dramatically changes the game, with a selection of monsters that’s wide and varied, including Ent-style creatures, behemoths, sorcerers, ogres, insects and birds.  It’s an interesting gameplay mechanic, and means that there’s always a new monster to play as and a new skill-set to master

As well as monster card collecting, there’s also arena and AoS Based PvP combat for players to do battle .  Eclipse War Online is free to play, but the developers promise that it is not going to be Pay to Win, with all game items available through in-game currency.

Dogs of War is a great looking online turn based strategy game that offers deep tactical gameplay and is inspired by the Confrontation miniatures game.

With a choice of three factions, you spend Army Points to build a hierarchical group of mercenaries from the units of your choice, then send them on missions, or battle against online opponents.  Each event earns resource points which you then use to enhance units.  The combat system feels similar to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, battles are deeply strategic, with wealth of tactical options available to the player, though thanks to it’s intuitive UI, it never feels overwhelming.

It’s worth noting that although this is a free to play game, every unit is unlockable through in-game currency, you may be required to grind at times, but it’s certainly not pay-to-win.
