Surviving Warcraft 3: The Red Solstice Hits Early Access
By Alice O'Connor on July 11th, 2014 at 7:00 pm.
Warcraft III‘s mod scene is underappreciated. It brought MOBAs to the world with DotA, crystallised the modern tower defence, did a lot for wave survival modes, and had dozens of other weird multiplayer ideas and genres I’d still like to see brought back and expanded. So huzzah for The Red Solstice, a game unashamedly inspired by the old WC3 Night of the Dead mods.
It’s a top-down co-op survival shooter with co-op for up to eight players, about scavenging for supplies and exploding floods of awful monsters on Mars. And it’s now out on Steam Early Access.
Dystopian Contract Killer Simulator: Metrocide

Hallo! I’ve got five words for you this morning: “top-down stealth-action game.” If you allowed me seven, I’d add “cyberpunk dystopia.” I might casually mention that the main character is a hitman named T. J. Trench too. Then, to stop you pawing at me while yelling “WHAT IS THIS? Tell me!” I’d hastily explain that I’m talking about Metrocide. Developers Flat Earth Games haven’t revealed too much about it yet but these collections of words, and them listing the original Syndicate and Grand Theft Auto as influences, has my attention. Have a gander yourself in the first trailer.
