Flaregames has announced that its RTS and raiding-strategy game Dawn of Steel is going worldwide this week after a lengthy soft launch phase. The game falls into the Clash of Clans model (Free) of building a base with defenses from attackers, while you also go out and raid others’ bases. But, most importantly, this is a game where you have control of a team of bidpedal robots that you can command in battle, taking cover and using abilities on targets to help take down your enemies. It’s a pretty cool combo. Here’s a video showing off some of the actual gameplay:
The game will be free-to-play and will launch worldwide this Thursday, September 24th. While we’re seeing a few games that give manual controls to players’ units in raiding-strategy games, this one still feels very accessible from what I’ve played. Plus, it’s a colorful game with giant walking robots that blow stuff up. How can you not get excited about that? For more, there’s a cool behind the scenes video that talks a bit more about the game:
