Any game with the noble ambition of reviving 90s-style real-time strategy is going to have our attention here at PCG, especially when it comes from the great minds behind Command and Conquer. Industrial Annihilation, a follow-up to Planetary Annihilation and spiritual successor to Total Annihilation, landed on Steam Early Access the other day after accomplishing its Kickstarter funding goals earlier this year, but its first few days on Steam have been a bit faltering.
Industrial Annihilation has recovered from a 'Mostly Negative' rating up to a 'Mixed' one, with player counts peaking around 350 on launch according to SteamCharts (despite the game having nearly 6000 backers). Industrial Annihilation offers an interesting twist on the old-school RTS formula, whereby you build up a vast factory of conveyor belts, supply lines and the like in order to create nuke-like weapons. You then need to defend your factory from enemy armies, while sending out your own mechanised forces to scupper their nuclear ambitions, with the whole thing ending in a big ol' nukefest.
