Minimum on the Steam store: 1 GB of memory, Any, 502 MB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS.

Imagine an enemy that is everywhere and moves like a giant, organic mass across the map. Imagine your base and your people surrounded by a blanket of crushing destruction from all directions. Your only hope, well what hope? Then you take the high ground and pound this enemy into oblivion.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in June 2018. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 48 in the 10 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 60 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal ($14.99, scores 91) and Particle Fleet: Emergence ($14.99, scores 75).

The math says it holds its tier up to $9.61, and you are being asked for $4.99.

This site sampled 319 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written December 2020 to August 2026.

Finishing takes 8 hours; clearing it takes 21, which is 2.6 times the campaign.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Great game, been playing for years off and on. It'll run on just about any PC from the past 15yrs no problem which is nice when you need to kill some time. I wish it had save states and volume controls but it is what it is.

1000+ hours of game play, I got so so so so much more for my money from this game than any other. The real value comes from all the user created maps on the forums so definitely go to the customs maps page and download them all.

While it is not as well done as the other games this game is one I played a while back, it was on kongerate and I loved it then, I remember playing this and the second base games over and over because it was fun. and now years later it his become something amazing. It may seem repetitive to some but it is still the start to something wonderful.
