DIYGamer: The tagline for Rocket Bear Games’ Infested Planet paints an interesting picture: 5 men against a horde of 100,000 alien bugs. It’s an enticing concept, with strategy games usually presenting more-or-less symmetrical battlefields, with even the Starcraft’s Zerg only outnumbering humans by 2 or 3 to one. I jumped down into the gore-splattered trenches to have a look at the current work-in-progress beta build of this interesting ‘popcorn strategy’ title.
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."
Bought it. But i have doubts about the security of the website i just put my credit card information on...
