Lots of explosions and action in Revenge of the Titans
Revenge of the Titans are a very "different" kind of RTS game. But in a good way.
Puppygames Studios, new RTS title Revenge of the Titans, is really something extraordinary. The game takes place in the future where an alien race is attacking the Earth (The Titans), and you must launch a strategy based assault with your weapons, so that you can defeat the annoying aliens.
Revenge of the Titans is a classic game, with a huge touch of nostalgia, for those who are Command and Conquer players, or fans of Tower Defense games.
The campaign mode begins on Earth, which is basically your tutorial, but soon ventures out across the solar system to other planets, moons, and towards the Titans’ home. You can fight, or coast your way through over 50 enticing levels, that offer complex gameplay, and intense concentration. Let’s get into the finer details of what makes this RTS so loveable, and desired.
Levels and Gameplay:
Assessing the map, and the entry points of the Titans, allows the player to extract funds from mineral deposits, and buy turrets to dispatch the Titans before they destroy your base. Resources can be collected, by shooting Titans, and placing said refineries next to mineral deposits scattered about each stage. Once a refinery is full, clicking on it you can extract the funds, and resume the process.
Extraction ends when the mineral deposit has been depleted. Adding more refineries will allow you to extract more cash at a quicker pace, but this requires your attention to be split further across your map. I highly recommend this, as it will allow you to research new technology in new levels, and it will rollover to the newer maps.
Bonuses on the levels:
Random pick-ups also appear across each level for short periods of time. These are often small cash bonuses, or they can be special weapons; temporary buffs; and permanent upgrades. Special pick-ups are stored for use, and will stack if you collect more than one. In the same manner as your cash funds, they roll over to the next level, so there’s a spend it, or save it option.
Boss Fights:
On the final stage of each Planet, or Moon, there is a boss battle to defeat in addition to the usual hordes of Titans, these are large lumbering creatures capable of destroying your base on contact, and take a lot of fire power to bring down.
I highly recommend creating defense barriers for them to get through, before reaching you, with the heaviest Technology you can manage to acquire. Each level automatically generates on the hardest difficulty but can be reset, so that an easier version is made available (for the softies).
If you don’t want to restart the level and lower the difficulty, you can play an earlier mission in the hopes of acquiring more resources or technology. So there’s plenty of breathing space for anyone having trouble. Completing levels on a higher difficulty will give you a medal.
Medals are awarded for anything, from hoarding a load of cash, to playing recklessly. They’re basically achievement points, or trophies, for those who are more familiar with that sentiment.
