Battle for Wesnoth
Battle for Wesnoth is a solid turn-based strategy game that will continually be in development, a fact that I find some comfort in.
Despite some control improvements and smoothing of the frame rate, Wesnoth still struggles a bit in these areas. At this point, however, the sheer value of this game dwarfs any of the nagging quibbles we may have left.

The Battle for Wesnoth is one of the most well-designed games I have yet played. It's hard to beat the feeling of successfully leading one's armies to victory after a grueling battle. Wesnoth is focused on the selection of recruits, tactical engagement, and the proper use of environment and terrain. The gameplay, while simple, is remarkably satisfying. Players can choose to play multiplayer scenarios (against other players and/or AI) or story-based campaigns that tap into the lore of Wesnoth. The artistry and storytelling of Wesnoth lends charm and interest to its mechanics. It has a high fantasy theme that is in many ways Tolkienesque, fairly rousing music, and quality pixel art graphics. The use of RNG in Wesnoth can throw some curveballs, but seeing as battles are somewhat uncertain anyway, the use of RNG does seem reasonable. The player, like any great military commander, must take care to be prepared for all eventualities. Did I mention that Wesnoth is also free software in every sense of the word? It is developed by its community more or less as a labor of love, receiving regular feature and quality updates. In conclusion, I highly recommend this game.
