NGN: "On one of your free weekends, when you’re double checking your list of “Childhood experiences everyone should have” (and if you don’t have such a list, get writing!), make sure you have a check mark next to “Play with Plastic Soldiers”. Action figures don’t count, mind you, but ‘Cowboys and Indians’ or even a solid set of Lego figurines will do just as well. Plastic army playtime is such a fundamental part of play that a few years ago when one of my roommates casually dropped a five dollar bag of plastic soldiers in my dorm’s common room, it was surprising how many of my college buddies put down their Gamecube controllers to fiddle with their small armies. The point is that there’s no more classic arena of play than making your own small army. Similarly, there’s no more classic conflict of play than humans versus aliens. Smack these two facts together, and the new RTS game Tryst is built on rock solid ground."
Tryst is a futuristic real-time strategy game developed by BlueGiant Interactive and available for $24.99 on Steam for PC. It tries to innovate the genre in several ways such as changing the way resources, upgrades, and combat are handled. In some ways, it succeeds. In others, it fails miserably.
Tryst is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game developed by BlueGiant Interactive, an independent studio based in Hydrabad, India. It has a Sci-fi theme and is, in many ways, similar to that of Blizzard's Starcraft franchise. With a fleshed out story, a campaign and a core multiplayer mode this game wants to offer the world. Does it live up to it's offerings? That's what Game-Modo have been trying to find out and now they're here to tell you what they think and if it's worth buying.
What at first looks to be a rather standard formulaic RTS with specific aesthetics similar to the Starcraft Series, Tryst’s trump card comes in the form of resource management and customizable units, making for very varied combat and tactics. But is it any good?
