I can't give this game a strong enough recommendation. I love the Creeper World series, so I tried this out because it is a spin-off in the same universe, but I ended up absolutely loving it on its own merits. The gameplay is essentially a mix of RTS and tower defence, where the enemy is a particulate which, to some degree, acts like a liquid. The "towers" are mobile spaceships, which all serve different functions, and the campaign is excellent, as is the soundtrack. However, where this game really shines is the custom content. There is an absolutely gigantic database of player-created levels to play, and the spaceship system is incredibly versatile which really adds to these. Ships serve different functions, as mentioned, but the ships are made up of different combinations of blocks, and really, it is these blocks which have the functions, not the ship as such. Because of this, custom levels can also have completely custom fleets, and in many levels, you will be adapting not only to the terrain the creator has made for you, but also sometimes a completely unfamiliar set of ships which are tailored to the level itself. Overall an amazing game.

This was a fun game. I'm not a huge fan of the ending, but I won't spoil it. It does really feel like the place for a DLC, though, so perhaps that will change in future. The gameplay is pretty linear, although I miss some of the Creeper World ship placement - if you lose a lathe (and when are you NOT), you have to go find out which one you lost, and place it back. I'd have preferred if I could just place them by category, or for that matter if the ships were sortable / sorted. All in all, the difficulty curve is fair and while it's short it was still fun to play.

It's decent, fairly short story though there are other modes to mess around with if you enjoy it enough. Worth it on sale at least.

The peak of the Creeper World series. Not quite as deep strategies as CW3, but it cuts out a lot of micromanagement, and the overall ratio of strategy to micromanagement here is stellar. Every level is so satisfying to complete, as you advance your ships, take space, and find the right angles or method of assault.
