Infested Planet plays as kind of a bare bones, top down RTS game, which, while trying to introduce a handful of original ideas to the genre, falls short on delivery and execution, but still sets itself apart from the overwhelming competition.
GB: "We take a look at the games that have best captured extraterrestrials and their dealings with human beings."
They use Area 51 for the thumbnail which was a fantastic FPS on the original Xbox but don't include it in the list. Also Evolve but no Halo? Is this a joke?
The bottom line of this review is that this military strategy game is very much worth checking out, and it's available on Steam.
"Infested Planet is all about the flow of this dynamic give-and-take, back-and-forth, thrust-and-parry, feint-and-regroup, upgrade and counter upgrade. Other real time strategy games are battle lines smashing into each other, often won by sheer force or snowballing advantages, messy, fraught with loss. Infested Planet is a dance."
