Infested Planet, much like the evolving bug aliens that you fight off in the game, has transformed itself from a Steam Early Access title to a full release on Steam. I had the chance to sit down with Infested Planet a number of times over the past few weeks leading up to the release and I’ve struggled quite a bit with what to say about this genre-bending game. As you’ll come to read, that’s not at all a bad thing.
GB: "We take a look at the games that have best captured extraterrestrials and their dealings with human beings."
They use Area 51 for the thumbnail which was a fantastic FPS on the original Xbox but don't include it in the list. Also Evolve but no Halo? Is this a joke?
The bottom line of this review is that this military strategy game is very much worth checking out, and it's available on Steam.
"Infested Planet is all about the flow of this dynamic give-and-take, back-and-forth, thrust-and-parry, feint-and-regroup, upgrade and counter upgrade. Other real time strategy games are battle lines smashing into each other, often won by sheer force or snowballing advantages, messy, fraught with loss. Infested Planet is a dance."
