Boid is a rather different flavour of RTS game, developed by Ukrainian chaps Mokus (Contre Jour) and published by (. It recently joined the ranks of Early Access in January this year, in hopes of gaining some player base to play-test the game and offer balancing data. The game is created with a custom made XNA-based engine by Mokus themselves.
This is an Early Access review of Boid.
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.
