    Better than Gray of Goo, which is from same developers and I can not play longer than 1 hour and never got back. With 8-bit armies, I have already 8 hours of fun. Recommended. If you prefer more classic RTSs, this game is for you. 1 point down for too much easy graphics, but you will be pleasured to play this game if you like KKND, Dune, C&C etc... try to get this game as cheap as possibleBetter than Gray of Goo, which is from same developers and I can not play longer than 1 hour and never got back.

    If you're looking for an accessible RTS that channels the spirit of the original Command & Conquer with cute voxel graphics, retro audio and a chiptune inspired soundtrack by Frank Klepacki, 8-Bit Armies ticks all these boxes. But is it any fun? The single-player campaign is rather forgettable and just like RTS games of old, there really isn't much strategy required to win.

But is it any fun? The single-player campaign is rather forgettable and just like RTS games of old, there really isn't much strategy required to win. If there were still people playing the game I'd probably recommend it as a decent multiplayer title but alas, there hardly seems to be anyone around.… Expand

    A good little RTS for those looking for a more casual and laid back experience. The game is a little stripped down at the moment, but the developers have stated they plan to release many updates to add more features such as more factions, campaigns and maps. Lets hope these start arriving soon!

    Available for a few weeks, lacking still many things to reach C&C finish quality, 8BA is already a good RTS game.

Fast, fun, C&C cartoon like units instead of sinister realism, correct AI for skirmish, a first campaign that is interesting enough to complete, a reasonable price, there is not much to say against it beside it needs to be completed in the next weeks/months with more factions (up to 6 planned by dev team), a map editor (announced), more maps, and some other details. I hope to come back in a few months to give it a 10, it is a serious candidate to become an excellent game.… Expand

    A simple and easy to understand RTS game that is a lot of fun. This game offers a campaign mode with lots of missions to complete and a skirmish mode with a total of 8 players in a match at a time.

    If you need a simple refuge from overly complicated strategy games and you remember Command & Conquer fondly, 8-Bit Armies is a cool little game for you. [07/2016, p.60]

    Petroglyph, the modern maestros of RTS, have created a fun, accessible new entry that is a great way to get into the genre. There isn’t a lot of complexity here but the friendly art style and generous difficulty curve make 8-Bit Armies the perfect RTS for beginners.

    One of the best RTS in recent years shows that simplicity is the power. 8-bit Armies commemorates the first Command & Conquer game, features an addictive gameplay and has a great chance to charm the community.
