Infested Planet (EPIC game)
Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:59 pm
Hey everyone. This week I'll talk about Infested planet, an upcoming indie game by Rocketbear games (which strangely enough does not feature any rocket bears.)
In it's current state (still in beta) it offers a really great combat engine in which you must fend off literally thousands of enemies. Theres a series of control points on the map, and the enemy spawns in ridiculous numbers. The coolest part is, the worse off the enemy is at any given moment, the more they mutate.
Mutations are basically abilities that the enemy game in order to get an edge in battle over your small 5 (or 6) person squad of marines (that can be decked out with different weapons and abilities upon research.). The fact of the matter is that the enemy plays smart, flanking areas that I had already taken, and eventually gobbling me up whole.
It's a really epic concept, and it seems to be programmed by a single man/machine code god.
The page itself is www.infestedplanet.com
Let me know what you guys think!
