Line 5:
''Mine precious gold from the deformable pixel terrain in order to buy more and better ships, soldiers, weapons, digging tools, and deployable defenses. Use these assets to defend your disembodied brain and bankrupt your opponent! Old-school 2D sidescroller pixel graphics coupled with an extremely detailed physics simulation makes for a mix of nostalgia and surprising gameplay.'' - Product description
So in the future, you're a [[
The game isn't actually finished yet. Created by Data Realms, the [[Retraux]] game currently is a demo with several test levels, some of which have a [[Allegedly Free Game|six minute time limit]], making it in essence a sophisticated toy. Regardless, Data Realm is encouraging players to buy the game now, for $18 instead of the $38 they're planning to charge when the game is complete, a model also used successfully by ''[[Mount and Blade (Video Game)|Mount and Blade]]'' and (On a cheaper scale) [[Minecraft]].
Line 21:
* [[Bifurcated Weapon]]: Cluster mine bomb and cluster grenade.
* [[Big Bad]]: The currently fluff-only Remnants of Mu-ilaak.
* [[
* [[Brain Uploading]]
* [[Bullethole Door]]: A possible tactic for entering enemy forts.
Line 37:
* [[Everything Breaks]]: As a matter of fact, this is the only way to dig up more resources.
* [[Game Mod|Game Mods]]: One of the main selling points is the game's mod community, which has produced many different armies (including the [[Warhammer 40000|SPESS MEHREENS]]). Mods can cause [[Loads and Loads of Loading]] and, if poorly coded, error messages.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: The Laser Rifle.
* [[Gatling Good]]: The Coalition faction seems to like them--they have sentry gun and drone varieties, as well as a handheld version.
** The Ronin used to have the [[YAK 700]], which has since been removed.
Line 56:
* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: The crab body is tiny, defenseless, and can't do anything but crawl around. However, they're also free--if you pack several dozen of them into a single rocket or crate, you have yourself a very cheap [[Big Bulky Bomb]] that will kill everything on the map in a holocaust of flying crabmeat.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Three playable factions plus two additional ones in game give it a well rounded cast.
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: There are few shields of one variety or another for the factions.
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: This is not a game for the squeamish.
* [[Mind Control Device]]: You
Line 74:
* [[Space Station]]: The TradeStar
* [[Spider Tank]]: The dummy Dreadnought.
* [[
* [[Weaponized Exhaust]]: the dropships are unarmed, but can be used to quite deadly effect by flying them on top of enemy units and hitting the throttle. The rockets, on the other hand, must be used with extreme care, because their exhaust has the tendency to kill the units they just delivered.
* [[We Cannot Go On Without You]]/[[Decapitated Army]]: If your brain is destroyed, you will automatically lose. Justified, as the units that you order are literally brainless and have to be controlled by you.
