Taking on an AI opponent in 8-Bit Armies, Petroglyph's latest RTS. If it seems awfully similar to the original Command & Conquer or even Red Alert, it's probably because Petroglyph is largely made up of former-Westwood employees who helped design those games!
Although there's currently just one faction, 6+ more are on the way, including a fantasy-like faction with skeletons and ogres (not even kidding)!
Key moments:
1:52 Establishing my first expansion/Fending off the first rush
3:24 Fending off the second rush
5:16 Establishing my second expansion
6:04 Battle for the bridge
7:21 Crossing the bridge/Responding to counter-attack
8:41 Approaching the enemy base's ramp/entrance
10:29 Destroying the enemy's nuclear missile silo
12:24 Launching my nuclear missile/Grand finale
8-Bit Armies is now available on Steam and GOG for just $14.99.

![Warhammer 40K: Boltgun (PC) Gameplay
Blasting and chainswording my way through the first three levels of Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, an oldschool first-person shooter in which you play as a Space Marine battling Chaos Space Marines and Daemons.
Featuring a striking visual style reminiscent of Prodeus (with sprite-based characters set in dynamically-lit 3D environments), Boltgun is fast, furious, and magnificently violent. The star of the show ironically isnt the Boltgun itself, but rather the Chainsword. Since you can use it to home in on enemies from afar, it effectively doubles as a makeshift grappling hook. See an enemy up on a ledge? Target him with your Chainsword to saw him up AND reach higher ground!
Although I totally dig the games theme and carnage, it unfortunately suffers from a myriad of issues that keep it from reaching its full potential. Damage feedback is abysmal, for example. I cant even begin to tell you how many times Ive been near death without realizing it. The level designs also tend to be sloppy and confusing, with strange layouts, questionable enemy placement, and an absurd amount of ammunition littered all throughout them (at this rate, why not just give us infinite ammo?). And dont even get me started on how wildly inconsistent the difficulty tends to be.
Warhammer 40K: Boltgun isnt a bad game, its just a very flawed one. Despite its flaws, theres still lots of fun to be had. And you just cant beat the Chainsword, which is quite possibly the coolest, most satisfying chainsaw Ive ever used in a shooter.
If youd like to play it for yourself, its now available on Steam via the following link:

Its also on all of the major consoles, including the Nintendo Switch!
