these are my favorite games I have put them in order only of how I overall enjoy them
In iron harvest its a 1920+ alternate history strategy game its very fun in the game in this game you have mechs and automachines which have escalated the conflict and caused a war a few years ago AKA the great war where all the factions in the game participated but in the end it was a fruitless effort millions died and only a few feet of ground were taken by each faction. the are lots of factions but their is currently 3 playable factions in the game polania, rusviet, saxony, each faction is built differently and they are making a new faction soon. the factions that are yet to come are togawa shogunate, crimea khanate, fenris, clan albion, and my favorite the nordic kingdoms each one is cool and unique and will have their own stories. but thats not the coolest part, the next faction they are releasing is Usonia(U.S) it brings flying units to all faction new anti air weapons and a new secret faction that is yet to be revealed, they focus on air power its said one of their hero units rides a massive war zeppelin which is cool and I have no idea of how to counter them but they seem cool and I am very excited for them.
dark souls is based around the whole idea nothing last forever, and that history is doomed to repeat and here is the story. in the beginning it was the age of the ancients everything was neutral and it was ruled by the everlasting dragons that were neither dead or alive they just "were" eventually fire appeared for no apparent reason but it shook up everything creating contradictory forces AKA life, death, light, dark, heat cold, a race of being's discovered the lord souls sources of emeasureable power, nito the first of the dead took the soul of death, the witch of izalith and her daughters of chaos took the soul of life, and gwyn lord of sunlight took the soul light, and the final soul the dark soul was taken by the furitive pygmy(ancestor of mankind) who hid it and was never seen again. with the lord souls they started a war with the everlasting dragons until seeth the scaleless(everlasting dragon) betrayed his kind and told them their scales are what made them immortal and with that the war was won by the lords. gwyn feared the coming of the age of darkness and the dark lord destined to rise during the age of darkness so gwyn sacrificed his soul to prolong his age of fire and from then on chosen undead are picked to rekindle the flame and thats a bit of the story or at least the start.
