[@alexvonrom7942]

Its literally a reskin of thronefall 🙏🏻

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Didn't know about Thronefall

[@cethironwood]

That's Thronefall, but with additional goodness.I really liked Thronefall, so I will give this a try. With it being -15 outside, I'd rather stay inside and play this.

Always fun to watch a game I’m not familiar with. May check this out

Yup, I like this game a lot. At first, I thought I liked the other tower-defense RTS-type game you just put up with the bulldozer and turrets, but this game is even better. Edit: This post went from a short, simple message of nostalgia regarding my gaming history to something way, way bigger. Anyway, I hope just one person reads it and also enjoys some fond memories. I think not knowing fun little games like this are abundant just shows I have no idea as to the quality and number of different game options out there these days. I'm a grandpa gamer at this point, I suppose. If anyone is also older and wants to hear some random guy go through his gaming history (with a somewhat unique fun fact at the end), I invite you to read on. :) I began playing on the Sega Master Console since I was two years old, playing all of the classics on console and PC from 1986 through the late 1990's, probably right up to the time the PlayStation 2 came out in 2000, and that's when I stopped playing on consoles and switched to PC exclusively (virtually all online team games). However, on the consoles, I have so many fond memories of Joe Montana Sport's Talk Football (Sega Genesis 1992), the NHL Series, from around 1993 to 1997 (I believe). Are there any Herzog Zwei players out there (Sega Genesis 1989)? I spent so many hours in that early type of RTS-base defense-hero unit type game with my most enjoyable strategy, making my base absolutely unpenetrable by surrounding it with 1 to 2 layers of these super double-barreled turrets with integrated missile launchers, forming an extremely neat, neat OCD/slightly autistic-derived overkill of a defensive perimeter. Then I naturally played Goldeneye on Nintendo 64 every single day after school with friends for a few years. That led to Delta Force and F-22 Raptor on PC in 1997/1998 (both from NovaLogic), honing my FPS shooter skills in Delta Force, which was a really great early online 32-player team FPS game with an open voxel replicating map. Then I got my first cousin involved, three years younger than me, with my team shooter games. In the original Delta Force game, a very early/young competitive gaming community formed with websites hosting both individual and team tournaments, team rankings, and forums, where each team built a website and generally trash-talked each other. Getting a cable modem or T1 line was the pinnacle of gaming back then. I played on many of the best teams in that game, certainly the top 2 or 3 to ever play. I used the WayBackMachine many years ago, visiting the old forums on the "DeltaForce World" website, where players, even years after the game had generally died, were so nostalgic that they would post their top 10 player lists frequently. Such as "Top 10 SAW (M249) gunners" and Top 10 M4 Shooters" or snipers, etc. I did a search for my name just for fun, and even up to six plus years after I last played, I found my name on a lot of those all-time 10 player lists (an ego boost at the time, for sure). :) The early Delta Force team shooter format got me hooked, and this led to both my first cousin and I playing Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, and Battlefield 2, where I co-lead a semi-professional gaming team, accumulating tournament/league records with somewhere around 750 wins to 40 losses over the course of 6 or 7 years straight (in Battlefield Vietnam, our record was 81-1 if I recall, with our final match being a loss in the largest international tournament the game had experienced). The team size ranged from 8 to 16 players (8 being the most competitive). Despite the odds, 2 of those 8 players on what became one of the top two all-time best NA (and arguably international/worldwide) Battlefield-series competitive gaming teams (up through Battlefield 2142) were from the same family, with my first cousin and me. Hugely fun times. We were sponsored by Xfire (a monthly cash stipend), received some free PC hardware from companies like OCZ Technology and AMD, had several free game servers, sponsored web design and web hosting services, free customized Func Surface 1030 Mousepads with team logo and player name, and of course some free TeamSpeak/Ventrilo servers. We ultimately travelled to about ten different LAN events for free (using the sponsored cash) to cities across the country, and then DICE/Electronic Arts took notice of us. We were one of only four teams invited to participate in the World Championship Gaming Invitational, flown out to San Francisco, and filmed on DIRECTV at Treasure Island under the Bay Bridge. Unfortunately, the production team knew nothing about BF2, and despite some of the closest most competitive LAN matches in the game's history, they turned into a boring TV-broadcast event. But, we ultimately received a $500 television appearance fee/stipend, nice hotel rooms and airfare, a bay area booze cruise where we were going by as Barry Bonds hit two or three home runs out into the bay that game, and we ultimately won the $40,000 top prize for the Battlefield 2 tournament, split between our 8-person team (a decent chunk of money for early "professional gaming"). Then we were also invited to the Gamecaster Invitational to play a pre-release version of Battlefield 2142, with another free trip to Los Angeles to film for Dish Network. Unfortunately, we came in 2nd place within a winner-take-all competition, losing out to our biggest Battlefield series rival team, and they took home their prize of $30k. After that early pro-gaming movement died out, I moved to World of Warcraft, where in Wrath of the Lich King I had a reserved raiding slot on Illidan (as an Ele/Resto Shaman) in a guild with some top-30 ranked worldwide kills during the final Lich King raid. Then, around 2011, I simply stopped playing all games cold turkey, went to university, and became a white-collar professional. It's ironic how I was involved in this early competitive gaming scene, and just a few short years later it truly blew up into a huge industry, allowing teams and players to make legitimate salaries and becoming rich off of gaming. I guess it's still kind of cool to be a part of the feeling-out period, where the industry was making it's first few efforts to see what worked and when the crowds would actually show up to infuse enough cash into professional gaming to make it work with the sponsors and organizers. I probably only have perhaps 500 hours of gaming over the last decade total. But some of the best memories I could ever have hoped for, with nostalgia boosted to 1 million.

Looks a lot like a modern version of that other game.

[@allaireko]

Yep, it's a reskin.

[@themacker894]

Certainly has potential, but too hard at this point. Thanks for showing us.

[@pittsburghmcconnell]

Thank you

[@edhikurniawan]

I don't think Command and conquer has unit that can attack while moving. Especially, the older ones. The fact that inspired Chris Taylor to create Total Annihilation.

[@oogieboogie232]

The contrast on those health bars is atrocious. Hard to even tell theyre changing on youtube.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Agreed

[@Samstarion329]

Check out Warpips, it's kinda similar to this and quite fun!

[@ratakaio3802]

tried the demo seems to be pretty boring to be honest.

[@BarcelPL]

At first sight it look excruciatly boring.
