Neon Marble Rust

This game paints itself as a "Classic RTS", but don't be fooled. The "Singleplayer"-tag is misleading, currently the entire game is exclusively geared towards players who focus on PvP and wacky micromanagement. That tag may as well be only there for marketing reasons, at least for now. No matter what you do, matches are forcefully ended after a few minutes, the winner is declared based on "score". All current maps are your standard fare symmetrical PvP arenas. Resource patches last around five minutes I think. You're supposed to end the match within minutes by overwhelming your opponent before the game ends in a stalemate. If you like modern arena PvP RTS like "Tooth and Tail" with average match lengths around ten minutes, this game may be for you. But if you're looking for an actual classic RTS, look elsewhere. Neon Marble Rust is something completely different.

The game in general doesn't look bad although the visual aspect seems too generic to me, so to speak. I like RTS but this one would have to improve a lot to get people's attention. By the way, I don't know why the graphics temperature was set to 70 degrees, which makes me think that it is poorly optimized. I have played much more graphically powerful games and it doesn't reach those temperatures.

"Neon Marble Rust" is a strange collection of toxic monetisation attached to an overambitious, development hell low poly/minimalist RTS tech demo. What do you do in the game? Well, you have to botmatch because there are no players. The game plays like an incredibly weak Command & Conquer ripoff but with a sci fi theme and crappy low poly boxes used instead of actual contemporary video game assets. You have to pay cash money to unlock basic features, and the developer is trying to swindle gamers by flogging a $5 Steam Marketplace "NFT"... I kid you not. Yes, I know Steam Marketplace items are in fact fungible, but fungibility is not the reason gamers hated NFTs and certainly hate monetization schemes that operate exactly the same way. The developers haven't touched this for some time. It's deep in development hell and there's every likelihood this will never be completed. This unfinished game is just polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuinely, completely made games. The developer committed to finishing the game last year and broke that promise to gamers. And of course under no circumstances should any Early Access product have DLC content on Day #1.…

Good job Harry!
