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 · Jan 23, 2015

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

Will wait for reviews / videos

dmr87 · Jan 23, 2015

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

Intheflorsh · Jan 23, 2015

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

MrFortyFive · Jan 23, 2015

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

CommandThrower · Jan 23, 2015

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

Icefire1424 · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

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

Reading reviews...

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 · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

Sounds very good.

Any more reviews?

Proxy · Jan 23, 2015

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

grandwizard · Jan 23, 2015

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

Nokterian · Jan 23, 2015

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

Deified Data · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

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

abracadaver · Jan 23, 2015

Amir0x · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

Just bought. Installing now.

Can't wait to give this thing a spin~

Steel · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

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

Xander51 · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

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.

abracadaver · Jan 23, 2015

7.6 from IGN

Sinatar · Jan 23, 2015

Stupid work being stupid slow.

I wanna go home and plaaaaayyyyyyyy.

Icarus · Jan 23, 2015

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

Interfectum · Jan 23, 2015

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

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

Nokterian · Jan 23, 2015

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

For me it's right under GTA5.

Mrbob · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

Interfectum said:

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

Max · Jan 23, 2015

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

The orange and blue is nauseating

Sinatar · Jan 23, 2015

Mrbob said:

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

Generic Power Ranger · Jan 23, 2015

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 · Jan 23, 2015

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

SomethingInTheSea · Jan 23, 2015

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

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

Nokterian · Jan 23, 2015

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

Warning there will be spoilers going to do the singleplayer!

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

Human_me · Jan 23, 2015

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.

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