This should be available to play on Steam any second now.

Edit: After relaunching Steam I now have the option to install it, woop. It's 8.2 GB for those wondering.

My Macbook pro just went belly up. Its last action was to push the review live. I got Ruk'd

 

[The_Poet]

Damn £29.99 for a game with very little information on it?

Will wait for reviews / videos

 

[dmr87]

That's no impulse buy price so I need to do some research.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Yeah, I'm interested in this but not for 50 dollars.

 

[MrFortyFive]

Great OP. Never heard of this before now but I wishlisted it and will definitely keep an eye on it.

 

[CommandThrower]

$50? Might just bite the bullet. Game looks really fun.

 

[Icefire1424]

Still pretty surprised just how little publicity this game has received. I think it was generally unheard of until a few months ago, and there's still little to no talk about it.

Will keep an eye on this thread, eager to hear feedback from gaffers out there.

 

[Kinthalis]

If the campaign is relaly good, I'll invest the $50.


Reading reviews...

 

[Dolor]

Using Steamworks :

Single-player
Multi-player
Steam Achievements
Steam Leaderboards
Steam Cloud
Stats
Includes level editor
Steam Workshop

I have been told by one of the devs (I believe) on the Steam forums that it will have trading cards as well, but SteamDB seems to say it doesn't yet.

I do hope they add these though. Games looks quite good.

As an ex-Westwood employee, this review makes me very, very happy!

 

[Deified Data]

Think if I have one concern going in it's that a lot of the units seem to have similar names and appearances. That said I haven't even touched it yet so I don't know if this'll become an issue.

 

[abracadaver]

Sounds very good.

Any more reviews?

 

[Proxy]

You tell me this game was made by some ex-Westwood guys and I say I'm interested.

 

[grandwizard]

Waiting on more reviews but I really like what I've read so far!

 

[Nokterian]

Steam reviews are positive and there is also OST from Frank Klepacki for free at the moment..so bought!

 

[Deified Data]

So cool this game has an in-game jukebox where you can just listen to the OST, even put it on shuffle while playing.

C&C style! I really like that!

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

If the campaign is really good and the Skirmish mode as well I might buy it for 45€... Not interested in competetive Multiplayer.

Sold me on it, gonna pick it up tonight.

 

[Tagyhag]

Watching the GB QL, this looks so good, can C&C be back in a way? *Wipes tear*

90/100

[Amir0x]

Sooo gonna get this game. The grey goo "race" seems like one of the more novel things I've ever seen in this genre.

 

[CommandThrower]

Just bought. Installing now.

Can't wait to give this thing a spin~

 

[Steel]

I'm really liking what I'm hearing in the reviews, think I'll be picking this up and convince a few friends to jump in. Shame the game has such a weird name(I know the background behind it, it's still a terrible name) that will handicap sales though.

Currently number 2 on top seller list on Steam EU here.

 

[Memory]

Just bought it, going to spend a few hours on it before i post feedback.

 

[Xander51]

I had no interest in this game due to the weird title...until I learned just now from this thread that Petroglyph made it. They make great stuff!

 

[BadTaste]

Only been playing for 10 minutes so I'm not gonna give off impressions on the gameplay yet. Performance is great though, I find it's using all 2GB of my VRAM and 64-100% of my GPU too, 60FPS. My PC is more or less the same as the recommended system requirements.

[Sinatar]

Stupid work being stupid slow.

I wanna go home and plaaaaayyyyyyyy.

 

[Icarus]

Any impressions from people here? Very tempted. I need some more C&C-like stuff in my life.

 

[Interfectum]

I'm gonna buy this and play over the weekend. I've been waiting for a new RTS.

 

[Steel]

That's good to hear, hope the game gets the sales it deserves. We need more RTS's.

 

[Nokterian]

Going to stream this in a bit beware it will contain spoilers because singleplayer.

Reading on twitter looks like there number 1 in the US!

For me it's right under GTA5.

 

[Mrbob]

Been a long time since I've a good new non Blizzard RTS. I want to purchase this but really wish there was a demo. Is there any type of co op? Can you crank up the ai difficulty in skirmish maps and play with a friend?

 

[Nokterian]

For me it's right under GTA5.

That is EU Steam we cannot see US Steam top seller list.

 

[Max]

Where the hell did this game come from? Topping the charts in Steam somehow...


The orange and blue is nauseating

 

[Sinatar]

Can you crank up the ai difficulty in skirmish maps and play with a friend?

Yea, and apparently the skirmish AI is *really* good.

 

[Generic Power Ranger]

Getting this as soon as I can afford to spend the money Hoping for the first of next month. Been looking forward to it for a loong time now !

 

[Timeaisis]

Of course, the day this comes out my PC stops working.

 

[SomethingInTheSea]

I've just bought it, haven't played a RTS game in a while and this looks good.

 

[Samus4145]

We had a really aggressive Goo AI on Normal take out 3 of us in a FFA, at the same time.

 

[Nokterian]

Going live in a bit of 10 minutes. http://hitbox.tv/Nokterian

Warning there will be spoilers going to do the singleplayer!

 

[Interfectum]

Can you set up custom games where you co-op against the AI? 2 players vs 2 AI?

 

[Human_me]

I wasn't going to buy it at £30 but.... The initial reviews and impressions are encouraging.
Bought!

I hope I'm not disappointed. I haven't played a new good traditional RTS in a long time.

 

[Samus4145]

Can you set up custom games where you co-op against the AI? 2 players vs 2 AI?

Yup, you are free to do any combination of four players - AI or Humans
