A brief look at Savage Moon a new PS3 exclusive RTS
During the GC in Leipzig a new PSN downloadable game was announced called Savage Moon. Savage Moon is a new RTS title developed by a third party studio set to launch via the PSN sometime this year. Information regarding this game is scarce so bear with us as we give you a brief overview of the game. More details after the jump.
Savage Moon is developed by newcomer studio FluffyLogic, and is a Real Time Strategy game that takes place on an Alien infested colony where the goal is to defend your base from the blood ravaging aliens. The game seems to follow along the veins of Pixel Junk Monster where you defend your base and create blockades with weapon fire.
You have to also strategically place weapons in the most efficient locations as well as upgrade them wisely in order to leverage the oncoming hordes successfully. You can also perform research into new types of weapons of mass destruction to further aid in your attack against the alien infestation.
There will also be online ranking for the highest score as well. This game seems like another interesting addition to PSN library next to PixelJunk Monster for you RTS fans out there.
Assault is not only by land but by air as well as hordes of bat like creatures will come flying to attack your base. One of the weapons we are clued in is a beacon like device that will attract hordes of aliens to a spot so you can annihilate them.
Trickery, strategy and good resource management will be the key to winning this battle. This games looks to deliver more depth and strategy than PixelJunk Monster, while giving a Starcraft vibe mixed with a Starship Trooper feel to the game.
If your a fan of RTS games then you just might keep this game on your radar. This game is set to release November of this year and as always, stay tuned for more details.

We need to petition that RTS games stay off of all consoles, now and forever.

Yeah I’m not sure I like them either. I don’t even plan on getting Halo Wars.

Halo Wars… lol
RTS went to to crap shortly after StarCraft.

RTS didn’t get bad after SC, SC just made everything that has come since look like junk.
Then again, this sounds more like a tower defense game than anything.
RTS is the only genre that can’t be pulled off reasonably well on a console, or hasn’t so far. Fingers crossed someone tries it on the Wii, since the controller can be used a lot like a mouse.

I don’t know, CivRev is pretty awesome, but it isn’t quite like your typical RTS. Plus EndWar looks freaking cool as heck.
I’d also like to point out that Supreme Commander is way cooler than Starcraft…. IMO.
