History VideoGame / BattleIsle

All the games, bar the last instalment, played on a hex grid, while the first game had the players' turns alternate between moving and attacking. In ''The Andosia War'', each turn was at a 10-minute timer, both player and enemy, often forcing the player to wait in real-time for a while before the computer finishes their move.

An updated version of the first instalment's engine was used in the game ''VideoGame/TheGreatWar''.

* BrokenAce: Rachel, who is renowned as a war hero at the end of ''Incubation'', has spiralled into drug abuse by the time ''The Andosia War'' comes around.

* EasyLogistics: Played straight in the first instalment, averted in the sequels, where you had to connect buildings up to the electricity grid from the main base, and send resources between buildings via pipes. Your own units would eventually run out of power from using their energy weapons, necessitating repair units to come over and recharge them.

* SpinOff: ''Incubation'', while a TurnBasedStrategy is only loosely connected to the main game series in both storyline and game-play.

* WorkerUnit: The SC-P Merlin Pioneer unit in the first instalment. The sequels had more.
