Dying Breed

After nearly five hours, I can recommend Dying Breed. It already feels like a very promising take on classic C&C style RTS games. What stood out most to me is its personality. The live-action videos, exaggerated performances and voice acting have the charm of a low-budget 1980s B-movie. Better still, the game commits to the bit from beginning to end. What initially seems awkward soon becomes genuinely funny and gives Dying Breed an identity of its own. It is still in Early Access and has some issues, like errors saving during missions and QoL features. Still, I feel the foundation is strong and I have enjoyed playing it. I hope the developers continue polishing it and take it all the way to the final release.

Its hot garbage sloppily thrown together

Pros: Nostaliga Bones of a great game Great work on lore and cutscenes Cons: None (it's early access, things will change) The opening intro was a perfect Homage to C&C, the aesthetic is a mix of Z and C&C with basically the same economy as Tiberian Dawn or Red Alert 1. Overall the vibes are fantastic, the acting, themes and story are basically what you'd expect for the game they're trying to make. Whilst the game lore is tongue in cheek the execution isn't, they execute wonderfully so rather than leaving with a feeling of fans poking fun, you leave feeling like fans having fun with the game. Gameplay its pretty straight forward, The addition of Subterranean levels is absolutely gold and reminded me of Warcraft 1, it really really impressed me making the no base/commando missions so interesting. I really like that the campaign has a simple chapter screen you can pick from at the start much like the Remastered C&C. I have a few issues with unit strengths eg The Mutant Whale seems like a far better ranged unit than the sub, I played around in some battles mixing units and then straight comparing them and it seemed the Missile sub didn't really bring any niche ability the whale couldn't do better. Overall unit rosters are interesting and do what you'd assume, I'd say artillery is either too slow or too short ranged and the lack of splash damage kind of negates their battlefield use and relegates it to siege, the base defences aren't even that strong so it's kind of an irrelevant unit considering the time it takes for a V3 or artillery tank to get into range, you could just build more tanks in the time. Overall I'd say the game is worth $26 aud to keep the team going, I can see this being one of my favourite games after some tweaks and a fleshed out skirmish.

C&C Slop, but in a good way. But: They have to deliver HARD here. They promised much, but atm the game got only a few features. So save your money if you wanna go the safe way. Atm its a C&C Reskin with High School FMVs.

Gameplay is too slow, with no way to adjust it. Old C&C games let you do this. Also radar screen is obscured by build menu, why design it that way? Just buy one of the remasters, this aint it.

Sorry about the gameplay time. Offline mode does not bother to track it as playtime: [h2]Maybe If You Like C&C Alot?[/h2] To keep things short and sweet: Dying Breed reached out to me while I was playing through Repterra (which you should check out!). The developers asked me to take a look at Dying Breed, a game that had already been sitting on my backlog for some time. Eventually, I bumped it to the top of my list during some downtime. After giving it a test drive, I was immediately disappointed by how shallow and linear the gameplay felt. As someone who occasionally QA tests games, I’m no stranger to finding exploits, bugs, or unexpected features. The long story short is this. Every single map as the villain faction boils down to the same formula: build a factory, build a barracks, clone 10 infantry, sell the factory for another factory, get refunded about 1600 of the 1900 Substance D, rinse and repeat. Send your army to take out the enemy base, move on. That’s it. No walls, no real defense, just buy, sell, buy, sell, invade. This is effective because selling your factory refunds most of the purchase price and grants you two free infantry units. Using this strategy, you can breeze through every stage. It plays like Command & Conquer, feels like Command & Conquer, but it is inferior in every single way. The silver lining of the game would be the live skits that seem pulled right out of a 1990s intermission commercial for something like GI Joe, really digged them, when they functioned properly. Either way, not enough content here or depth to really put up a challenge.

highgy recommend this game for anyone wanting cnc style gameplay. also its fun and pretty amazing. dont listen to the don't recommend comments. their bunch of kids complaining the game is hard or its buggy or their issues with it. reminder: the game is in EA (Early Access) and will be for a while only came out last year. hey i'm still waiting for skirmish here. have fun :D

Its not very often a game actually pisses me off with how bad it is, its even rarer ill refund a game, especially a RTS game but these have managed it, they went with copying the original C&C, which other than cnc4 is the worse of the series, but even a game 30 year old pisses on this dumpster fire, it was bad because it was old, following C&Cs improved vastly, what is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ excuse? its like a bunch of clowns sat around a table after been up all drinking n said you know what would be funny, making a RTS game, googling the first RTS games, seeing command and conquer then just trying to copy that but make it worse in every possible way like its a big joke. for reference, cnc red alert is by far my most replayed command and conquer.

This is the best modern rendition of a Command & Conquer game that I have seen... This brings me back to the OG Red Alerts. 11/10
