About Cascading Failure

In Cascading Failure you must lead your troops to victory by establishing bases, controlling resources and amassing an army. Two playable factions are available, each with their own unique weapons and customizations. Both factions also share common technologies, requiring smart decision making when choosing the correct loadouts for you and your army. You must build defensible locations, expand to new resources and advance your presence on many maps, facing different challenges based on the game mode selected.

Cascading Failure is a difficult game where in most scenario's you are NOT expected to be able to solo even small groups of enemies. You will need to make good use of your armour abilities, troops and defenses to be successful.

You play as an on-field commander where you lead your troops into battle by example, in this FPS/RTS hybrid game. Your personal skills are important, but will not win you the match, as you will be unsuccessful in crushing an enemy outpost by yourself. Good troop control, economy management and timings, will determine how good of a commander you really are. Finding the best way to break a defensible location, or setting up the perfect defence while balancing multiple expansions are all aspects you have to manage while also fighting enemy troops in small to large battles.

Building and Securing


In the heart of every operation is the need to establish a base of operations. Constructing modular bases, defence turrets and Anti Air Emplacements allow you to setup the most basic infrastructure of a base. You will need to manage your resource income, plan expansions and troop production, so you do not become trapped and over committed on single locations.

Customizing Loadouts and Troops


Creating a good balance in your own personal loadouts as well as your Army will allow you take on field supremacy. Sometimes balance is not the only path as specialising heavily into a certain technology can have its advantages at different stages of the game. Your on field Army composition will play a huge factor in how you approach fortified locations, or even how you setup defences.

Company Investments and Technology


Investing in companies is how you get access to technology produced by that company. The most you invest, the more weapons become available for on field use. Weapon blueprints that are unlocked become available for both your army and yourself. Certain units are restricted to certain types of weapons so creating a good balance of investments is a good starting point when funds are limited.

The game is unplayable, the AI is too strong and fast so you won't have time to use all the mechanics of the game to see if they work well. You will only be able to spawn some soldiers until you run out of resources. This is a very bad game but it looks good.

I've been playing this game for a few hours. It definitely has potential. Here are the good points: -A lot of weapons, and most of them have their own utility. Way of playing however you want. -A large variety of troops. You have standard soldiers, heavy robots, then Mechs, Tanks, drones, and finally Walkers. This makes for a diverse army that you can use. -Maps are really large. You will have a lot to explore! -The tutorial perfectly explains how the game works. Following it helped me a lot. With how few RTS/FPS games exist, it's nice to see another one that focuses on mostly solo players, and at the time I'm writing this, a campaign seems to be in the making. There are a few issues, though: -It's hard. I usually am not complaining about difficulties in game, but it's really impossible to survive 10 waves (the minimum) in the waves game mode. You're supposed to eventually build other buildings out of your first base to start mining more. However; you only have 150 seconds before the first wave to build everything you might need early on, and then only 30 seconds between waves. You also don't get ressources fast enough to catch up with enemy troops. At the fifth wave, I only had t…

It feels like a rote military shooter with real-time strategy elements awkwardly shoved on top (e.g., base building, resource gathering, commanding troops, etc.). However, it fails to blend the FPS and RTS elements together in a satisfying way, or even explain how the heck everything works, making for a frustrating experience. It feels like a textbook example of how NOT to do a genre mishmash/hybrid. I knew it was in Early Access purgatory and still being sold for full price when I got it, which feels scummy and greedy. However, I was hoping it might still hold some unique value as a morbid curiosity, but sadly it doesn't even offer that. Hard pass!

the game feels like a passion project by somneone who had a very original idea, the game is not finished but it feels very cool, difficulty for the single player skirmishes is very hard even on easy. If you know a person who is interested in ArmA III, C&C, any rts or squad game needs to be recommended to them
