This is real grass-roots game design. A simple yet inventive concept that manages to present a more interesting ‘modern’ idea than can be mustered by most new-gen console titles. Meba Wars is a real-time strategy game, and that’s probably one of the most accurate genre labels you’ll ever encounter. The whole experience is ongoing, so you could join a game halfway through and make a big enough impact to win, or pop in and out of a longer game during breaks. That persistent game environment in which players have free reign is truly unique for an RTS, and is arguably the most interesting element of Meba Wars. That’s not to say the rest isn’t just as intriguing though.
