A very strange/unique 3D RTS I've remembered since ancient times and I'm glad to have found it again in the vents of Steam.5 found this helpful
Fun, challenging and not as simple as it first appears. Gorgeous graphics and intuitive controls let you dive right in.5 found this helpful
I got the game years ago in a cheap bundle and gave it a go for the first time. I gotta say that I'm surprised it never picked up more traction. In the end the strategies you can employ feel a bit limited due to the few structures you can build but it was still an enjoyable playing experience for a couple hours.4 found this helpful
Interesting take on tower defense. The camera and your orientation can be tricky at times, but the game is pretty fun overall.4 found this helpful
Simply put, if you like strategy games, this game is awesome! A perfect example of the elegance of simplicity. You have a mere 5 things you can do, with a suprising amount of strategic depth in how you utilize those 5 things: Energy, which is your life's blood in more ways than one; not only is it your economy, but lose all of these and you lose the game. Turrets, which are your basic form of attack, good to spam lots of them. Black holes, which are your sole means of defense, as they deflect incoming shots, but enough focus fire can overcome them. Sentinels, which 'claim' territory on the map, which is good because the enemy cannot build things in your territory. Also work in a pinch to draw enemy fire, and will instantly destroy any enemy units caught in their influence. And lastly Missiles, which are costly, slow to charge, but if they go off, can wipe out enemy forces in a wide area. The key is positioning; your forces and theirs will fire upon the closest target to them. So depending on where you build things, you can protect other things, and the same with them. You can fly anywhere on the map, which is a giant ball of strands, and each vies for optimal positioning to take…4 found this helpful
