One Angry Gamer "Well that went over well. Little Orbit and TNT released a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming turn-based strategy game based on the television show Falling Skies. The game is scheduled to release this fall for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC… except, it looks like something from the PS2 era and gamers aren’t liking it one bit."
Pure Nintendo: "n a nutshell, Falling Skies is a game that fails to engage the player. Cut scenes are animated poorly, graphics, with their dull textures are dated, and these elements will really take the player out of the story. It’s true that there is some fun to be gleaned from the turn-based tactical game play, but at a $39.99 price tag it makes this game difficult to recommend even to fans of the show. If you do enjoy the show or are a fan of the turn-based tactics genre, it’s best to wait for this game to go on sale."
A Tactical Strategy RPG Based on TNT’s Popular Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Drama
Little Orbit, a worldwide video game publisher, today announced that the game based on the popular TNT sci-fi drama,Falling Skies, has launched and is now available at retail on Xbox 360™ and PlayStation®3.
Outside Xbox: Falling Skies: The Game adapts sci-fi television show Falling Skies into a turn-based strategy game which closely resembles a downmarket XCOM: Enemy Unknown. See Falling Skies' Tom 'Noah Wyle' Mason and his last-hope-for-humanity crew murderise Espheni alien invaders in a wood in this gameplay from an early mission in Falling Skies: The Game.
So a blatant rip off of Xcom based on a fairly mediocre if not terrible show with outdated visuals? Yeah that's gonna go down well.
This show is a hot mess right now.
I thought this was a iOS game. Whew this looks bad.
this show would be a great telltale game
What in the hell did I just watch....? I actually watch the show and this game does it no justice.
