So if I play a game halfway and forget about it, the opponent will be really pissed.

OMG It's a decent remake of Laser Squad Nemesis! :D I am ALL OVER THIS!

roll on payday, looks interesting

WANT.

Aw that's it, I was holding off buying it as I've got too many games on the go but it just sounds brilliant.

Why am I reminded of DEFCON: Everybody Dies when I look at the screenshots...

I've had a great time with this game, including some games with Joe (although I won't embarrass him by posting the replays :P)

A new game mode was added yesterday, Charge. Like Dispute, you start the match by bidding against your opponent for who thinks they can push the furthest towards the enemy team and hold position until 5 turns have expired

Games can be played in Light or Dark modes. In light games, you can always see your opponents positions. I Dark games, you must have line of sight and be facing them to spot them.

You can export games to YouTube when you are finished too which is a nice touch. Here's a couple of games I played of Dark Charge this morning against DCUK...

I outbid him on this one so had to put my money where my mouth was.

He outbid me this time and it was damn close too.

Awesome. Sounds like an X-Com style multilayer game, and I am all for that. Not going to hesitate to buy.

Dribble.

That is all.

Hmm, Early 90s, Sabre Squadron anyone?

Looking forward to buying this on steam!

Man, I loved this game from the moment I saw it on ModDB. :)
I am so going to buy this game!

Interesting. I'm sure Bit-tech will put up a review of the final release.

I've been loving this. I was also really impressed with the "buy one copy, get another for a mate, free" idea which means I always have someone I know to challenge.

Is this a public beta?

The game mechanics don't fit any obvious genre, it vaguely reminds me of games like Baldur's Gate.

You play multiple games at once for the most part and you will be in no doubt that your strategy is what wins or looses you the game. Its something different, but not quite as fun as I am sure the final product will be.

I've just been informed this game will be coming out on the Mac too, so am updating the article to recognise that fact.

If you pre-order you get beta access (they have other options with more goodies as well though).

Minimum price though is £16.99, which is just too much I feel.

but you get 2 keys for that... so split it with a friend

No one is really interested. I'm the only one who ever really played X-Com and the like between my friends. I'm sure I'll find someone, but it would have been nice if we had been given the choice between one or two copies. Even one key for £10 wouldn't be bad.

It might be worth waiting though, they put a 20% off code up on their Twitter last week, they might do that again.

Just split it between forum buddies. Hell, Harry'd likely take you up on a split.

I concur with this article. I've been playing for about a week and the only issue with the game is some of the bugs that pop up from time to time. Some more men to work with would be cool but they might get added during patches. Basically, it's great fun :D

I have been trying to get some friends to play but it's not happening so I have my second key that I'm selling for £8.50 if anyone here is interested.

I'm up for that. If you PM me your paypal details I can send the money over tonight after work.

This post should allow me to now send PMs :D
