MOONBASE COMMANDER - PC

Moonbase Commander is a turn-based strategy game where players compete to spread a web-like base across a lunar battlefield while annihilating their opponents.

Players can select from four factions, each with a unique look for their units and a specifically voiced advisor (although all four have identical abilities), and compete alone or in teams against other people (locally or over the network) or of assorted bots that are included.

The competition takes place on a variety of terrains, sometimes barren and desolate, sometimes green and full of rivers.



Characteristics:

- Once a battle begins, players take turns using a limited supply of energy to launch weapons at enemies or launch new buildings to expand their base.
- Both are done with a simple aim and force interface, similar to Worms or most early golf games, so it takes some skill to land a building exactly where you want it.
- Since buildings are connected to your main hub with a network of power lines, careful planning is required to avoid leaving important nodes unprotected.
- There are 18 different weapons and buildings, each with an energy cost based on how powerful and useful it is.
- Finally, you must destroy an enemy's main hub unit to remove them from the battle.



- Moonbase Commander has a quality of minutes to learn, a lifetime to master.
- There is never enough energy to do everything you want to do, and your opposition is always blowing your back.
- You'd have to risk a sneaky shot to place an expensive shield generator next to your hub, or settle for launching waves of cheap cluster bombs at those enemy anti-aircraft batteries in hopes of overwhelming them.
- Maybe you should wait a little while and send more observation balloons.
- The possibilities are surprisingly endless in this simple yet complex game.
