About the Game

FATAL ERROR is a real-time strategy (RTS) game on the digital battlefields of a computer world under attack. With your TAC-AID companion and advanced programming, you must eliminate all threats to the Mainframe and take the fight to your enemies.

Inspired by classic RTS games from the 1990s, FATAL ERROR combines the best elements of fast gameplay and tactical management. An intense single-player experience, FATAL ERROR brings you into an abstract world of limitless potential…and lurking dangers.

Synopsis

"Another construct once told me that our purpose is to provide answers. Sadly, the answer this time may very well end our purpose." - Tactical Artificial Intelligence Defender (TAC-AID)

Since cycles immemorial, the Mainframe has defined the existence of the Motherboard and her faithful digital constructs. Now, a sinister viral invasion has begun. As the Mainframe falls under siege, the Motherboard activates an untested yet powerful anti-virus construct: you.

[b] Very good looking game, though well simples, it's a great ideal game of genre Real-Time Strategy that is new in the gaming market, hope the game evolve a lot and become a greater one on future.

A solid RTS game. The campaign certainly offers its twist and turns. The tactical battles may seem simplistic and without much player involvement, but once you understand what’s happening, you really need to spend your energy wisely. So far, I've sunk 5+ hours into this game and I haven't even touched the skirmish mode yet

This game is EXTRAORDINARY. Destined to be a cult classic. I wonder how it has gone so long hidden from the eyes of the Steam community? This is highly-inspired by Starcraft and an ode to the best real-time strategy games of the past. The creator has produced a strategy game that I cannot stop playing. A game that will last me years of enjoyment, serving fond memories of an era I thought lost to gaming. If you have yet to buy this game, what are you waiting for?

Wow, this game is a pure Nostalgia trip in more ways than one! Fatal Error reminded me of one of those big box games that small independent computer stores used to sell back in the innovative, fast moving Golden Age of PC Gaming (1995-99). A game that would sit on the shelf for months, never being touched or considered because they weren't covered in PC Gamer or similar publication. That was until 13/14 year old me walked in with enough pocket money and bought these obscure games. 'Warbreeds' and 'Virus: The Game' being 2 notable games from memory. Fatal Error looks and plays exactly like one of these obscure games. It might not be pretty, but it's by no means a bad thing. It's great fun and isn't afraid to be what it is. The mechanics are solid and the AI is well done, especially in the campaign which has that classic challenging element. Some might call it cheating or just script heavy, which it probably is. But if you played games from the RTS Boom era, it just feels so right and ...

Great real-time strategy game. The theme is very original, dealing with a confrontation between virus and anti-virus, following the line of games like StarCraft and/or Warcraft. The graphics are pixel art, fluid mechanics and dynamic gameplay. A great buy for RTS game lovers, I recommend it!

Definitely recommend this for those who enjoy the RTS genre. Reminds me a lot of C&C and the likes. It's very fast pace and has quite a steep learning curve... but becomes really fun once you get the hang of things. You could easily sink a couple hours in without even noticing

The music and designs are really cool. The concept of the game is interesting and very unique. I found the difficulty ramp to be hard but I haven't played many RTS games recently. It requires a lot of micro, some of which reflects the old-style RTS style very well.

This is a great game, if you really like RTS games I would highly recommend this. The level designs are fantastic and the game-play is really great. It very fasted paced but it still great, the graphics really remind me of the old RTS games back then but it awesome. Sound design is great and the campaign so far is also really good. It still in early access but it defiantly worth getting as their are almost no bugs or any weird glitches. Highly recommend it

It's been years that I don't play RTS games. Saw the game on steam and gave it a try. It's pretty nice. Reminds me of the old times I spent hours on AoE haha. Very well made game and delivers what a RTS should do.

For me the most capacity in a game is its capacity for new players. The lightweight crash graphics, along with its fun and intuitive gameplay, attract both casual and competitive gamers to the game. form a clan for the next steps, want, and play non-stop.
