Apart from that, you’ll get up to other classic RTS stuff: build a base, gather resources, and order groups of soldiers to set everything on fire. You can toy around with retro-futuristic land-based, air-based, and sea-based vehicles, and the developers tease that stealth could play a part in your misadventures, which is probably handy for scouting out new locations in the dark. There are still questions about the gory RTS’ structure and whatnot, but for now it looks like a loving throwback to the genre’s early days.

Dying Breed comes from Uruguay-based developer Sarnayer Studio, who began work on the game in 2018. Sarnayer have released a couple of demos over the years on theirwebsiteandItch.io, both of which should still be available to download, though they may be outdated now.

A release window is still pending for Dying Breed, but you can learn more about the gameon Steam.
