Wonderful RTS for the rest of us
Aside from a few minor forays into C&C, I never got into RTS games -- too much APM focus, having to jump all over the map constantly, annoying economy buildup, etc. Where was the strategy? I'd much rather have my Civ, thank you very much. Well, Tooth and Tail is different. First of all, it exists in a wonderfully realized world. The campaign has a great story if you follow it to the end. Second, the pixel art and music are sublime. Most importantly though, the RTS conventions have been rethought here. Hate jumping constantly all over the map, since it gives you a huge advantage? Well now you control a commander mouse (get it? your mouse?) who limits which part of the map you can see. It's a constraint that makes it so you don't have to hop around all the time, and APM doesn't matter. Confusing controls in RTS games and endless keyboard shortcuts? Well, the controls have been simplified to the point that you can play with a controller on split screen. Sick of spending every game building up your economy the same way? Well the economy has been simplified to the point that you just plant farms, grab gristmills, and create warrens. It's there, but it doesn't bog you down. What remains is the strategy, pure and distilled, in quick 15-minute matches you can easily have online or with your spouse on the couch. Buy it, and get it for your friends -- you won't regret it IMO.
