Infested Planet has no qualms crushing your gaming ego and leaving you stranded in the middle of an alien planet surrounded by overwhelming odds. As thousands of bugs come piling at you, there’s a moment of panic that forces you to grip your mouse and make one final push to separate yourself from the imminent threat of defeat. Players must dig deep into the game’s fusion of real-time strategy and tower defence to constantly adapt to a mutating alien threat, which strikes a fine balance between challenge and unjustifiable difficulty.
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."
