    Compared to other RTS titles, Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainioids may evolve in accessibility, player count, and systems, but its unwavering focus on real-time strategy remains the true soul of the genre.

    Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainioids is a fine game overall. Despite some control issues with the strategy portions, the mixture of third-person action with RTS elements works thanks to the approach of simplicity over complexity. The campaign lasts for a decent amount of time, with collectibles and the quest for a five-star rating giving you a reason to replay the stages. Versus mode works fine, while the addition of split-screen play gives the game some legs if you're having a tough time finding anyone to play with online. Chip 'n Clawz has a few quirks, but it is a fun experience for those looking for a title that's a little more involved than running and bashing in small arenas.

    A unique and charming strategy title that won’t change the world, but will give players an entertaining spin on game concepts and tropes they have enjoyed before.

    Great effort at pushing the RTS genre in new directions with the addition of third-person action platforming, and I suspect you will either love it or loathe it.
