Basically, you had one player being the commander and playing RTS, with top-down view, making buildings and using spells to buff players etc. while other players were playing as units with abilities in a MOBA like style (capturing locations, destroying opponent locations, fighting enemies and getting xp to get more abilities, switching to more powerful units as commander built up the tech tree etc.). Hell, you could even play as a builder unit and help out your commander. It was truly amazing but not many people could fully grasp the concept (it was before MOBAs got popular). Also, the game was hard. The action/combat was very high paced and skill-based (good players could 1v3 or 1v5) with different abilities, dodging etc. (think souls-like multiplayer). Nuclear Dawn had a similar system, although RTS+FPS, and sadly also didn't catch on. I enjoyed that one. | ||

I would say Natural Selection 1 and 2 are more similar to Savage 1 than they are to Savage 2 though. They're all excellent games. Dawn of War is a great series. Looking forward to this game. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Manit0u. | ||

I gave them lots of feedback. i will share what i can within the spirit of the NDA agreement. Sure thing. Any extra info would be nice but no need to break the NDA. It'll all be revealed in due time. Enjoy your early access  | ||

 Super sad because this actually looks promising for once, and I haven't been this excited about an alpha ever since StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. This, D.O.R.F. and Dust Front are pretty much the only 3 RTSes that I have any hopes for, currently. | ||

Well, 40K games in the strategy space have been doing pretty well recently. Barring the DoW 3 blunder there's been Gladius, Chaos Gate and Battlesector and they got pretty good reviews. Mechanicus was excellent, Battlefleet Gothic was great. Overall it seems that there's plenty of good games to pick in the 40k strategy. | ||
