If you haven't had the opportunity to play Star-Twine yet, there's no better time than right now. It's a real-time strategy game for PC that combines addictive gameplay with stunning graphics and a compelling soundtrack, and it now has a whole campaign to play through. Sounds fun, right? Check out the trailer:
So what's the game like? People ask me that and I find myself at a loss for words, which is such a rare thing when faced with the task of describing a game. Usually you can compare it to an existing game, as so many games are inspired by others (or just completely copying others). Star-Twine is an innovative new game that simply cannot be likened to other games.
Each level is made up of organic twine-like structures that stretch out across an expanse of outer space. While carefully managing your resources, you must build energy nodes, turrets, black holes, sentinels, and missile launchers to take out the enemy. Easy enough? Not quite. As you work your way through the game, you'll find an increasing need to be careful about your positioning and overall strategy. Button-mashing won't get you too far.
