A project over eleven years in the making, Cortex Command has rich 2D pixel graphics coupled with an extremely detailed physics engine, which allows for highly replayable and emergent real-time action. There is also a turn-based strategic campaign mode which ties the tactical fights together, featuring persistent terrains that will accumulate the battle scars, debris, and bunker ruins through your entire campaign. Choose from several unique technology factions, each featuring their own sets of expendable soldier bodies, mechas, weapons, tools, and landing craft. Protect your brain, mine the gold, and destroy the enemy cortex in his bunker complex!Key Features:
- Fully destructible environments - The gold you need to excavate is sprinkled throughout the terrain of each scene. Use special digging tools to blast your way into the dirt and debris. All the pieces of bodies and ships from your struggles will fall to the ground and permanently add to the battlefield. Get more powerful (and expensive) diggers and you can even tunnel into your enemies' bunkers from below!
- Strategic metagame campaign – The intense, real-time tactical battles are put in a greater strategic context in the Campaign mode, thus giving each battle meaning and consequence. The gold-rich terrains on the planet and the defensive bunkers you build to defend them are persistent from fight to fight. This means there will be layers of debris, bunker ruins, tunnels, and corpses piled up in layers, telling the history of each place throughout each campaign played.
- In-game buying menu - At any time and place during the game, bring up a powerful menu to order new bodies and equipment, all delivered at the location and by the transport ship of your choosing. Rockets are cheaper but unreliable and harder to land. Drop ships are far more expensive but can quickly deploy entire groups of puppets onto difficult terrain. Ships and equipment returned to the TradeStar are refunded to your account.
- Build your own bunker - At the start of most missions, you are able to take your time and build your own command bunker from scratch. Easily design twisting tunnels and place doors, traps, and turrets to thwart your enemies' intrusions! Pre-deploy and equip bodies in and around your installation to prepare yourself for your objectives. Don't spend too much though, or you won't have enough funds left when the mission starts!
- Four-player cooperative and/or versus multiplayer - Gather your friends and plug in those game controllers! Play skirmish or campaign missions with or against up to three of your buddies. 2 vs 2, 1 vs. 3, 4 vs. the CPU - it's up to you! (rhyme intended). Flexible control settings allow you to use the keyboard, keyboard + mouse, or any generic game controller you can find and plug in.
- Built-in editors and modding - Several in-game editors allow you to easily create your own stuff. The game's engine is built to make it very simple to modify and add your own content. Design your own missions, guys, ships, weapons, tools, bombs, and shields - and easily share them with your friends. Join and download some fantastic mods from the community at the Data Realms Fan Forums.

Reviews and ratings
A great game for pixel art lovers! Little people, beautiful explosions - in general, the strategy is really beautiful. Probably fans of classic Worms will like the game.
PROS
Nice graphics that are not harsh on the eyes, which is accompanied by excellent special effects. The maps are drawn in the best possible way, just see the screenshots of the game - you’ll immediately want to at least try it out! A large assortment of weapons - you will find any weapon, bazookas, machine guns, machine guns, grenades, there are even shovels! There is a plot in the game - but it’s here for show. What I love most about this game is the survival mode, when you can build your own base, set up turrets and try to survive as much time as possible!

Not very convenient controls! There is physics in the game, b… Read full
Отличная игра для любителей пиксельной графики! Маленькие человечки, красивые взрывы — в общем стратегия реально красивая. Наверное фанатам классических Worms игра понравится.
ПЛЮСЫ
Приятная не режущая глаза графика, которая сопровождается отличными спецэффектами. Карты отрисованы в лучшем виде, достаточно увидеть скриншоты игры — сразу хочется хотябы поробовать! Большой ассортимент вооружения — найдете любое оружие, базуки, пулеметы, автоматы, граныты, даже лопаты есть! Сюжетка в игре есть — но она тут для галочки, я больше всего в данной игре люблю режим выживание, когда ты можешь построить свою свобственную базу, понаставить турелей и постараться выжить как можно больше по времени!
МИНУСЫ
Не очень удобное управление! Физика в игре есть, но мне кажется она какая-то прям пе… Read full
