Decades later, original XCOM creator Julian Gollop is still making strategy games. His new studio, Snapshot Games, has already released three strategy games of varying themes and crunchiness, with the most recent being an adaptation of the Frosthaven board game.
Today, August 26, the studio's launching Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainoids, an action strategy game that's taken some cues from Pikmin and, in my eyes, carries a bit of Ratchet and Clank energy. Gollop says he wants to try new things in the strategy space in hopes of making these games "more accessible and immersive," and Chip 'n Clawz is a step in that direction.
