An RTS classic reborn with a twist. Time is of the essence, Commander! Capture the flags, conquer the territories, and eliminate the enemy fort. And finally, nuke them all! This old-school sci-fi Indie real time strategy game, crafted by devoted team, revives the genre's enduring allure.
The core gameplay revolves around capturing and controlling strategic flags scattered across the map. By securing these flags, players can reduce the production time of their units, giving them a crucial advantage in the fast-paced battles. This capture the flag mechanic provides a clear objective and encourages strategic decision-making as players vie for control of the map.
Players must not only capture territories but also defend their own base and remote outposts from enemy incursions. Strategically placing fortified artillery positions and utilizing mobile defense units like Sentinel APCs allow players to secure their perimeter and protect their production facilities, presenting a balanced blend of offensive and defensive gameplay.
The game offers a diverse roster of units, including standard robots, tanks, and specialized combatants like Laser Bots, Rocket Bots, and Electrobots. As players progress, they can unlock advanced technologies and units through a well-designed tech tree, providing a sense of progression and allowing for the creation of more powerful armies.
The enemy AI, particularly the "Blue Robot Team," is known to launch relentless waves of tanks and units from multiple directions, keeping players on their toes and requiring quick reflexes and strategic maneuvering to overcome. Players describe the battles as "chaotic" and "challenging," creating an intense and engaging experience.
The ability to directly control the game's powerful nuclear weapon, the "Nuke," adds a high-risk, high-reward element to the gameplay, as players must carefully time and execute their nuclear strike to maximize its devastating impact. Additionally, the introduction of the "Alien Allies" faction, summoned by capturing secret Alien Beacons, adds a new strategic layer to the gameplay.
The game offers a wide variety of mission types and scenarios, ranging from straightforward capture the flag challenges to more specialized objectives, such as "Nuke Football" and zombie survival modes. This diversity keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging, catering to different player preferences and playstyles.
