Neo Nectaris

Developer: Hudson Soft

Neo Nectaris is a PC Engine CD entry in Hudson Soft’s Nectaris/Military Madness series that refines the hex-based, turn-driven battlefield strategy the franchise is known for. Players maneuver tanks, aircraft, and infantry across varied terrain, balancing movement, attack range, and scarce resources while special weapons and map hazards force tactical adaptation. The deliberate pacing and punishing scenarios reward careful planning and unit preservation, delivering a classic, methodical challenge. CD-quality music and illustrated briefings add nostalgic atmosphere, making it a rewarding pick for fans of top-down strategy and old-school, brainy warfare.
