Barrage

Barrage immerses players in the role of energy tycoons during the Industrial Revolution, competing to build dams, powerhouses, and conduits across alpine valleys. The game creates mounting tension as the shared map becomes increasingly contested—every placement blocks opportunities for rivals while opening new paths for yourself. Players must balance immediate energy production against long-term infrastructure development, constantly weighing whether to build now or wait for better positioning. The water flow mechanics create a brilliant puzzle where upstream construction affects downstream players, forcing ruthless calculation and opportunistic timing. Expect strategic depth with minimal luck, as victory emerges from precise resource conversion and territorial control. The experience feels like conducting an industrial symphony where every note must harmonize with ruthless efficiency. Success demands foresight, adaptability, and the willingness to pivot strategies when competitors disrupt your carefully laid plans.
