About This Game

From the creator of X-COM, Julian Gollop, comes Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids—a unique blend of 3rd person action and real-time strategy.

The alien Brainioids have invaded Earth and stolen all our precious Brainium crystals in their Grav Spheres. Only Chip ‘n Clawz, a young inventor and his robo-cat, can thwart their evil plans by taking control of each sphere, all the way up to the Mothership itself!

FUSION OF ACTION AND STRATEGY

  • Play as the heroic duo, Chip ‘n Clawz, in single-player or co-op, to put a stop to the Brainioid invasion in a humorous story campaign and challenging side missions.

  • Jump right into the action in fast-paced, pick-up-and-play missions with easy-to-learn yet satisfying-to-master game mechanics that bring a modern take to classic strategy games.

  • Lead the charge against the Brainioids as you build your arsenal of buildings, weapons, vehicles, and abilities!

  • Assemble and command your army through the strategic Command View and fight beside them in large-scale battles.

  • Boss battles against the mu-ha-highest-ranking Brainioids will put your base and minion management skills to the ultimate test!

MULTIPLE MULTIPLAYER MODES

  • Experience multiplayer mayhem in epic army battles with or against your friends.

  • 2-player couch co-op to double your fun—coordinate your tactics with a friend to defeat the Brainioid forces!

  • Dive into the PvP mayhem—classic online 1v1, 2v2, buddy up with a friend, or clash in split-screen 1v1 to see who's the best of the best! Couch not included.

  • Jump into PvP matches or invite anyone to join your adventure campaign on PC or consoles thanks to cross-platform support.

COMIC BOOK STYLE AND STORYTELLING

  • Set in a bright and exciting universe that transports players into a fresh, throwback comic-book-style world.

  • Meet a memorable cast of characters, each with their own story to tell during your adventures. We’re taking all sorts of brains in all sorts of jars!

  • Explore every nook and cranny to discover collectibles and secrets. Rare comic books will unveil the mysteries of the Brainioid invasion, and blueprints will help you build new weapons, minion upgrades, and hero abilities.

Only problems so far are Barely anyone plays right now so online matches are really hard to find and get into. There are no bots to do versus against with a Co-op buddy. Otherwise the game is actually very fun! Wish so badly there was a versus against bots that would easily justify me playing the game but since Campaign has a limited replay ability the game itself depends on online players to play its most fun game mode Versus. So I suppose the huge weakness is CURRENTLY its sort of a gamble since it seemingly fails or succeeds on the speed the devs can implement a Bot versus system (The bots having personalities of sorts and varying difficulty would be amazing) and depending on if the online player base grows and stays steady enough to play a round whenever you want. BUT ITS A GREAT GAME! Really fun! No issues there!

Really appreciate the friend's pass. This game wasn't really what I expected. Its trying to do a lot and some of the vibe is conflicting for me. So much feels like platformer but the platformer mechanics don't feel good with slow movement, no double jump, basic attacks. So its not a platformer, its a methodical RTS, but then I didn't really enjoy controlling my units either? Gonna try couch co-op and see how that feels.

Positives: This is a fantastic game for both solo and co-op play. The gameplay is easy to pick up, yet can become strategically challenging in certain scenarios. While the default difficulty feels a bit light, the campaign does ramp up at times, keeping things interesting. Missions are a joy to replay, especially when hunting for hidden secrets scattered across the maps. Overall, it's surprisingly hard to put down during the first campaign playthrough. The visuals and art direction are solid, and everything runs smoothly with a nice, polished feel. Bonus points: friend pass is generous and cross-platform, the game runs smoothly on the Steam Deck, and only takes up around 14GB of storage. Negatives: The soundtrack and voice lines are serviceable but tend to get repetitive. Weapons and heroes generally feel underpowered, with limited ammo, which can be frustrating. The Replikon mechanic where the player has to "discover" the towers they can build can get really tedious and limiting aft...

The game has very fun mechanics, good visuals and it's well polished. But the game is so easy, even on the 'challenge' difficulty, that it's hard to have fun.

If you want a friendly, fairly laid back platformer/strategy game, you could do a lot worse than this one. I would recommend it.

A refreshing time of RTS game play, with generous Dev's (Friend Pass), fun and smooth game play, nothing serious just a nice couch coop RTS
