Can storytelling make a strategy game unforgettable or just get in the way?
We take a hard look at how narrative shapes the strategy genre. Some games rely on written plots, others let stories emerge from your decisions, but both approaches aim to add meaning to the mechanics. We talk about how storytelling affects immersion, why it’s often underused in strategy, and where it still has room to grow. It’s part analysis, part frustration, and full of ideas on how strategy games could start thinking bigger.
