8-Bit Invaders Releases
December 16, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Indie game developer and publisher Petroglyph is proud to
announce Friday, December 16th as the official worldwide release
date of 8-Bit Invaders, their fast-paced, friendly and
accessible Real-Time Strategy game launching on PC via STEAM™,
GOG and the Humble Store. 8-Bit Invaders offers a feature-rich
gameplay experience loaded with content and is a follow-up to
the and highly player-rated 8-Bit Armies and 8-Bit Hordes games.
8-Bit Invaders is a tribute to classic RTS games and is suitable
for existing fans and new players of the genre seeking a
friendly approach to strategy gaming. With a colorful, blocky
voxel art style, the game is accessible to anyone regardless of
experience. Players will collect resources, build up and defend
their bases, amass armies of Alien or Galactic Marine units, and
ultimately crush their opponents! Packed full of features, the
game at launch includes 2 factions, 24 single-player missions,
10 two-player cooperative missions, 10 AI skirmish maps, and up
to 8-Player battles online.
A new, strategic Multiverse Mode lets players compete against AI
on a larger scale across multiple locales while managing tech,
economy, and their grouped armies. The game is also
cross-compatible with its two predecessors allowing players from
all three 8-Bit titles to play cooperatively or competitively,
using any of the 6 factions on dozens of official maps or
player-made maps created with the supplied map editor.
With multiple difficulty levels, inspiring gameplay and
beautifully-rendered voxel-themed visuals, 8-Bit Invaders excels
at bringing a complex game genre to the masses with its casual
approach to the compelling world of RTS.
8-Bit Invaders will be released on Friday, December 16th, for
$19.95 USD (or equivalent in other territories) on Steam, GOG,
and Humble Store! A 25% launch discount will be available for a
limited time.
