About This Game

In the year 2216 an AI equipped vessel was created and embarked on a journey to a potentially habitable planet. Its primary objective was to terraform and pre-establish a settlement for humans on the 4th planet in the Vega star system, over 25 light years from Earth.

The ship took 41 years to arrive at Vega 4. Upon reaching the planet the AI determined that it could be terraformed and a signal was transmitted back to Earth to send a colony ship to arrive 200 years later.

Following the terraforming activity, the AI’s directives were overwritten and it began to develop weapons technology. It spread over the entire planet in an effort to prevent humanity from inhabiting the planet. Terminals were constructed to control the weapons and defenses, and to store resources and power.

Unknowingly to the AI, another AI subroutine activated in one of the terminals. Completely independent from the central, corrupted AI, this new entity had a new objective: to ensure that mankind safely reaches Vega 4. This subroutine is you and you must take back the planet at all costs."

I almost didn't buy this game. I saw it and it looked interesting but the price was so low, I never heard of it... and what were the odds it would be any good? Well...I bought it and no regrets. It's a very fun and thoughtful game. The pace is not too fast. I will be coming back to this game. If you like strategy games do yourself a favor and pick this one up. It feels very much like an animated board game, the kind of game that would be too much of a pain to play in real life, but is perfect on a computer. If you are looking for a game that makes time skip forward several hours before you have even noticed it...this is the game for you. GOOD: Engrossing. Good looking. Very fun. Great music. Solid game design so far. (I am not too far in.) Fantastic price. Amazing replay value. BAD: Cannot use arrow keys to move. Only WASD, this does not work for all people. Hope they patch that. Or offer key-binding at some point. EDIT: The Dev quickly responded that this issue will be addressed. S...

This game fall short of my recommendation without multi-player. The campaign is just too dull, the story is barely visible, and every mission feels exactly the same. I have played it for thirteen hours, but honestly I was mostly bored throughout. The game never challenged me to change my strategy. It never gave me a compelling reason to complete the mission or campaign. And, each additional unlocked building simply decreased the tempo, which made the gameplay slower. This game is not bad. The mechanics are not poorly implemented. The graphics and sound are passable. And, you can certainly pass the time with this game, as I did. I played this on an ubuntu linux desktop computer, with a keyboard and mouse. This game does not let you re-bind keys (that is a real failing of the UI), and the game does not let you play with only the mouse. The game takes up 225 MBs of diskspace, and it uses the Unity Game Engine.

I saw this recommended on the Creeper World discord and decided to give it a try. It took a little getting used to but once that was down it was plenty of fun. The Campaign only deals with one enemy 'player' at a time and is mostly there to introduce you to new turrets and concepts as it goes along, where in Skirmish you have everything unlocked at the start and can have multiple AI's on the field at once. There's no Teams, so it's a Free For All every time. The game is fairly basic, but can be rather enjoyable as well. I think it's very much worth the current price and it'll be interesting to see if new features get added, being a newly released game and all that. There doesn't seem to be much need for the Advanced Towers though, in most cases you can get by with spamming the basic Cannon and replacing them as needed. Sure you could invest a lot of resources into building a Wall/Shield/Healer network and creep forward like that, but only in a certain Campaign mission have I ...

This game is bit rough around the edges but it's a nicely paced game. Gameplay is basically just turret creep: the RTS but it's nicely slow-paced for someone like me who tends to lose normal rts games due to watching the units fight. Concept is suspiciously similar to Radiis, but gameplay is different enough that it's clearly a different game. I like it.

A wonderful little strategy game. At first, it seems a bit simplistic, but with each advancing level you need to change your tactics to adjust for the defenses established on the map. I will not say it is terribly difficult, but it is a pleasant challenge until you figure out your own personal strategy.

Okay but wait for it to be on sale. The only real problem I'm having is the UI. Very clunky.

Basic, ugly and boring. Simply didn't draw me in. The fluff is pretty minimalist, but it is there, so bonus for that I guess, but the game play in the few levels I tried was lackluster, and uninspired. It all seems to work just fine, so if you want to try iit for yourself I wouldn't say it was a bad move, but I can't recommend it.

Very nice campaign. It gradually introduces you new tech by each mission. You have 4 difficulties to choose from. Completing a mission marks it completed for the easier difficulties also. Very few games implement the difficulties as perfectly. There are some annoying bugs. The texts were overlapping by default, until I managed to set the UI scale to minimum (0.5). Even with that the help/controls page is only partly visible. One mission I played with easy difficulty didn't register at all. Slightly buggy, but nice campaign.
