From GameWatcher: "Getting good at almost any real-time strategy game usually takes a lot of time and practice. It’s often an arduous process of research and training to master a game like StarCraft II: you need to learn build orders, how to counter enemy units and micromanage during battle to even compete at an intermediate level. It’s no surprise, then, that a lot of players just don’t have the time for it."
Gamespot:
Developer Monogon Games describes Interloper as a real-time strategy game with five-minute matches, but I would call it an RTS for people who hate the genre. This quirky example features all of the catchy conquering, tactical thinking, and fast-paced combat of the average real-time strategy game without being burdened by the base building, resource management, and game duration that scare off some of the potential audience. Toss in puzzle-like maps, an unusual setting, and faintly surreal visuals and sound, and you have a pick-up-and-play RTS for the masses that even genre veterans can appreciate for its innovations and challenge.
Today is the moment all Interloper fans and potential fans have been waiting for. It is time for you to go forth and stake your claim as the game has now officially launched via Steam! IGF nominated, this colorful real time strategy game is now available for the PC, Mac, and Linux.
Hardcore Gamer: "Interloper by Monogon Games is new entry into the RTS world which seems more immediately accessible than most. You’re not carefully managing resources or even agonizing over every potential attack maneuver. Instead, there’s a top down view of a field and your goal is simply to control as much of the map as possible."
