One of the most exciting sci-fi series I know is the World War saga by Harry Turtledove. World War sees humanity unite during WWII, in order to survive an invasion of alien lizards known as “the race”. So when I read that Earth Liberation aims to defend the humanity from alien lizards in an RTS that takes inspiration from Command & Conquer, well that was three of my favourite things in one game.
In recent years, we’ve had a few RTS’s try to recapture the energy of C&C, none of them really managed it, not to say that they were bad games, but, Meridian felt more like an RPG adventure and wasn’t fluid enough, and Act of Aggression was just too cerebral to be C&C, even after its reboot. I don’t know if Earth Liberation will finally reach the mark, but I’m glad that they’re trying and I’ll be glad if they do an “Act of Aggression” and miss as well, and create their own thing instead.
Earth Liberation is available on Steam with a 20% discount (£3.99) until the 22nd December.

Key features:
“How Earth Liberation came to be? We love RTS games and play them since we were kids,” – explains Vladimir, co-founder at PoRovoz Studios. “We took the parts that we think made them fun: straightforward economy, rapid decision-making, constant enemy advancement, well balanced unit power. Then we made it into one, streamlined and exciting game. We wanted it to be more than just a game, however – in our imagination it has already become a living, story-rich universe. Earth Liberation features a story that kept on growing as we were making progress with the game, and will be growing even further as our development process continues. For that reason, we’re giving away a lore-filled novel in the form of an audiobook and e-book to everyone who buys the game”.
