    Worbital is a fun strategy title that utilises gravity, physics and over the top weaponry to great effect. While the battles can drag on a little too long at times, there’s something to the spectacle of the space battles. It’s a shame that the online side of things seems so barren as it would definitely make for a decent chill out title in between other games.

    Worbital provides the shifting gravity on your side, aim your cannons, blast your enemies and enjoy the fireworks. Worbital is a real-timeWorbital provides the shifting gravity on your side, aim your cannons, blast your enemies and enjoy the fireworks. Worbital is a real-time strategic artillery game in space, with tension-filled gameplay and gravitational destruction,and peppered with a heavy dose of cosmic chaos. The goal: be the last civilization standing! I could see the game always being fun as a single player/local multiplayer/online with friends multiplayer game for the for seeable future. My favorite thing about the game is the progression system, as the game is super rewarding for destroying planets on a massive scale, even if you don't win.The campaign is a set of missions you can freely play, and you can skip the cutscenes if you don’t want to watch cartoon space people trying to be funny. The actual missions are kind of puzzles, built to flex the various ways to play and fight. But for me, Worbital is all about the skirmishes, either against the AI and/or friends, in teams or free-for-alls, with a ridiculous amount of adjustable parameters for whatever kind of match you want to play. Do you have opinions about how fast a planet should turn, how much space junk it should spit out when it dies.
    What hasn’t been done before is something this accessible, smartly paced, and most importantly, playful. There aren’t many strategy games that make me giggle. But how else can I react when I knock my friend’s planet off its orbit and watch him frantically trying to build something to brake his shattered globe as it drifts toward the sun? How else can I react when he fumbles a missile launch and wastes an expensive nuclear warhead on a passing moon? Or when he flies his Asteroids-style manually controlled attack ship into the asteroid belt at the edge of the map because he came at me too fast How else can I react as a cloud of debris from that moon rains down on his already damaged rail guns? Worbital isn’t just a smart strategy game. It’s a stellar comedy.    … Full Review »
