Uh... Kupo?

They Are Billions!

Very fun and challenging procedurally generated zombie defense RTS. Not a typical tower defense, more like a WC3 custom map where you build a larger and larger economy in order to defend against ever-increasing amounts of enemies (in this game, zombies). It's almost a roguelike experience, and it is incredibly difficult, and I am a pretty great RTS player and I have yet to beat the first map. Each map is procedurally generated and when you hit certain populations you get randomized bonuses. The enemies' distribution is also randomized.

The problem is that the challenge ramps up exponentially near the end of the game. With a game taking 2-4 hours, it's very frustrating doing almost everything right the entire time and having a minor fault in your sprawling base wind up making you lose. There are minor bugs but I believe it's in early access even if it's otherwise feature complete. Needs some balancing, for sure. Still, it feels like a loss is only your fault which is what you want out of a challenging game.

I give it 8 goofy steampunk things out of 10.
