ges-sa | "Infested Planet is strategy game from independent developer Rocket Bear Games. Basically it’s what I would call a combination of a tower defense and command and conquer game. It’s a bit of both but actually neither, you start off with 5 Marines protecting a base but you have to move quickly to attack and convert nearby alien hives that either remain inactive until your troops start approaching and then thousands of aliens start swarming towards your troops and continue to follow."
GB: "We take a look at the games that have best captured extraterrestrials and their dealings with human beings."
They use Area 51 for the thumbnail which was a fantastic FPS on the original Xbox but don't include it in the list. Also Evolve but no Halo? Is this a joke?
The bottom line of this review is that this military strategy game is very much worth checking out, and it's available on Steam.
"Infested Planet is all about the flow of this dynamic give-and-take, back-and-forth, thrust-and-parry, feint-and-regroup, upgrade and counter upgrade. Other real time strategy games are battle lines smashing into each other, often won by sheer force or snowballing advantages, messy, fraught with loss. Infested Planet is a dance."
