Excerpt: "As you’re brisked from mission to mission, you’re required to destroy and capture enemy hives by any means necessary. You can select your Marines one-by-one or as a group and guide them to where they need to go. Shooting is automatic except when you want them to use rockets on enemy buildings. Along the way you’ll earn BP that can be used only in-mission to create turret defenses to protect your capture points or mobile healing stations that a squad member must lug around. Enemy hives can have their own defenses such as acidic turrets and proximity mines to deter you from easily taking back the planet. Squad members can die but aren’t permanently lost, and after some time will respawn at the nearest capture point. You can sacrifice a marine for BP in a crucial moment needed for victory, but run the risk of being overrun with one less man. The choice is all yours."
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."
