Arrives on Steam in 1 week...

Hopefully this fills the RTS itch that several of the latest entries have failed to scratch. Check it out and see you on the battlefield!

Lol memories of c & c I'll keep my eye on it

[Apocalypse 31]

Looks fun. Hopefully there are different factions & equipment. A map editor would be nice, also.

From the Steam forums:
Only 1 faction in game
10 skirmish maps

looks a lot like what my E-100 platoons do in WoT.   

[Apocalypse 31]

8BA is out now.

Anyone play it? The reviews are good, but I'm hesitant because of the one-faction thing.

Developers are quick to compare their games to Command & Conquer, and many players start attaching the tag to every RTS.

I picked it up.....


...........aaaaaaaand refunded it.


NOT like C&C. Nothing like it. I think people have forgotten what C&C was like. I haven't, and I certainly know that 8BA aint it!

I'm able to look beyond the simplified voxel UI and design, but there's no strategy involved. Just mass building of units then attack. I played through the first 6 missions and from what I saw, the campaign is just a sting of single missions with no real story. Maybe I didnt get far enough into the game.

I wish EA would just sell the rights to C&C. They're obviously never going to remake it, after they shut down CC Generals 2.

I got that impression even looking at the trailer. Pity about CC2 Generals - it was great fun game. O0
