While there is no shortage of real-time strategy area controls games on the market, I would be negligent in my duties if I didn’t bring “Abstractanks” to your attention. It draws some similarities to games like “Eufloria”, “Starlink”, “Planets Under Attack”, and “Oil Rush”, but I found it to be unique in that you’ll have a say in where you can actually send your units. If you’re familiar at all with the aforementioned games, you’d know that you’re limited in terms of how your units behave and travel…not so with “Abstractanks”.
It’s important to note that the game is in the early Alpha stages, which you can play by pre-ordering through Desura (link below). Since the game is not yet finished, I’ll reserve my thoughts on the game until the final release. In the meantime, feel free to check out my first impressions of the Alpha via the gameplay video(s) below.
