C-Lab also made Galaxy Wars and World League Soccer for the SNES.

Pick it if…

  • you want to think and plan
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the SNES hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want quick action without planning ahead
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Dekitate High School is like

Strategy games reward planning over reflexes: command armies, manage resources and outthink opponents on turn-based or real-time battlefields.

Tip for newcomers: Read the manual or tutorial if one exists: retro strategy games often assume you know their rules. Save between missions.
