I enjoy indie games. The general lack of resources developers have access to compared to their AAA counterparts means they really have to focus on getting the game's core mechanics right. They're allowed to play around with genre conventions and determine what's really important. These experiments can lead to some intriguing conclusions that actually filter their way back up to larger products.
Ben at Skewed and Reviewed has posted a favorable review for the RTS game Boid. He liked the variety and challenge of the game.
EB: BOID takes a classic gaming genre and bends and twists it in unique ways. With the removal of infrastructure and resource costs, the player can focus on using their little units to take over the enemy and destroy their forces. Where the multiplayer shines, the same can't be said for the dull story that is only there as add-on DLC to the already free-to-play game.
BOID is a simple and easy-to-play game that also finds ways to suck you in for lengthy periods of time. While some of its aspects when it comes to controlling things could use a bit more polish, the simple-yet-challenging gameplay can easily captivate you, finding yourself in for a meaty round of quick matches. While the single-player DLC isn’t vital, BOID does stand out as a free-to-play multiplayer game of a high-level quality, so strategy fans and competitive players (among others) will find quite a bit to enjoy here.
