This is currently my favorite game out right now. A great mix of FPS and RTS gameplay. Two asymmetric teams of marines and aliens battle it out over a map to control resource points. They use resources to research upgrades and new weapons/lifeforms. It has the depth and strategy of a RTS with solid first person shooter mechanics. I can see this taking off as a competitive eSport.

Pre-orders get beta access. They are still adding features, polish, performance optimizations, and balance changes. However the game is extremely fun even in its
unfinished state.

They just released a massive patch a few days ago that gave us a new map, the exosuit (see the last video above), and a bunch of balance changes. So far this is the best build of the game yet.

The game is set to release in the next few months, and they have a ton of post-launch content planned. I am pretty excited for it.

If any of you pick it up let me know. I have no problem teaching you some of the basics and more advanced stuff in the game. It is a lot to learn, but the game is pretty deep and rewarding once you get into it.

There are also already casted competitive matches occurring every week:

Looks like you don’t get beta access though. Still, get the digital deluxe version for free if you pre-order.
