- Infested Planet's streamlined approach ultimately spins out into a welcome shift away from the dizzying complexities that can bog down RTS games. The arcade-style flow of matches is grabby and pours the action on thick without sacrificing strategy, and the unique, colorful art style and excellent gameplay help set Infested Planet apart from its larger-scale brethren. Stomping aliens is far more fresh and thrilling than you'd expect.
NATHAN MEUNIER · Mar 11, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - As you can probably tell from my time with it, Yoshi's New Island isn't a "must have," but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. It's very much by the books based on any genre standard, and there's pretty much nothing new here that you'll need to run out to experience. But even so, fans of the genre will still dig it.
Conrad Zimmerman · Mar 11, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - At the end of the day, it's an interesting and challenging game. The Starship Troopers stylings certainly make it an eye-catching proposition (even if it's fairly minimalistic, Rocket Bear has conjured up a cohesive and satisfying aesthetic), but it's not a meathead in the same way that its source material is.
Mike Holmes · Apr 21, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - This is a big planet and there are a lot of caves needing clearing, think of raids as housekeeping. You go in and kill as many bugs as you can before your timer runs out and we extract you. You won’t be furthering our campaign but you will be earning cash for every bug you kill and hive you burn. The opportunities for combat are endless
Julian Benson · Mar 18, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Blasting away at alien hordes does eventual get a little repetitive as you fall back into the same routine of building turrets to secure captured zones and slowly pushing forward into enemy territory, and enemy unit design is a little uninspired (they basically all look like blue and purple grubs), but all in all Infested Planet takes a simple concept and makes it into a satisfying and addictive experience. Well worth your time.
Nick Horth 2 · Mar 06, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Schnell hat man eine Standard-Taktik gefunden, mit der sich die Käfer effektiv in Schach halten lassen. Zudem gibt es zwar für den Solisten ordentlich zu tun, viele der Einsätze ähneln sich aber zu sehr. Außerdem fehlt mir ein Online-Modus, bei dem man kooperativ oder gegeneinander antritt. So bleibt die Mischung aus Tower-Defense und Echtzeit-Taktik ein Spiel für die schnelle Runde zwischendurch.
Eike Cramer · Mar 05, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Infested Planet è attualmente proposto su Steam a €13.99. Nel caso foste indecisi sullo spendere o meno questa cifra sappiate che il gioco potrebbe essere proposto ad un paio di euro in più e risultare comunque un buon affare. Probabilmente non sarà il gioco della vostra vita, ma si tratterà comunque di un valido acquisto.

About the game
Command a team of 5 elite soldiers against an alien horde of 100,000. Surrounded on all sides, you must outmaneuver and outsmart the enemy. The enemy is closing in around you. Your soldiers are being flanked and the perimeter is slowly collapsing under a vicious alien assault. Robotic turrets will not last much longer. Just a little more and the bugs will swarm into your unprotected base. What are your orders? You order your soldiers to fall back to a defensive chokepoint and rebuild your defenses. Sacrifice the forward squads to gain some extra time. Gather your team while equipping them with flamethrowers and laser guns. Start building a siege cannon for fire support.
