Team 17 always has a place for me when it comes to their Worms franchise. There is no other developer that will be able to match the fun and ingenuity of that series. With that said, I have never really taken a chance to look at their other series Alien Breed. Does Alien Breed 2: Assault capture the similar touch that Team 17 has been able to put in their previous games?
Eurogamer: "Team17 has now confirmed it has begun "a period of consultation" ahead of the restructure reported by Eurogamer this morning, in which significant job losses are expected."
Worms 2 was a blessing when I was on 56k dialup in 1999 for multiplayer gaming, it was almost the only game I could play smoothly online due to it being turn based. Not only that but it was a fun game to play with all the customisation options, online rope races etc..
"1000 Orks, and Team17 Digital have announced a partnership that will see the award-winning games label publish the German studio’s debut title, "WARCANA" (previously Legion Souls). Set for release on PC during the first half of 2024," - Team 17 and 1000 Orks
"Team17 Digital has announced a new partnership with award-winning development studio, Lichthund. The Warsaw-based studio, which focuses on fresh and quirky game experiences, came to prominence in 2016 with its debut title, the fast-paced lightspear throwing action game, Lichtspeer.
The partnership will see Team17 Digital publish the next game from Lichthund, an unannounced and original IP that strongly adheres to both companies’ idiosyncratic heritages, currently in development for PC and consoles." - Team 17.
I'll stick with Alien Swarm on the PC then.
