I'm pretty sure Julian Gollop now thinks I'm an idiot, but his new game Chip n' Claws vs. The Brainioids won me over
- Chip 'n Claws vs. The Brainioids is a new real-time strategy game by Julian Gollop of Snapshot Games, offering split-screen couch co-op and platforming elements.
- Players control robot cat Claws and spacefarer Chip in battles against brain aliens, with a focus on resource gathering and base building.
- The game features a lighthearted, Saturday morning cartoon vibe, a departure from Snapshot's Phoenix Point, with satirical elements and pulp sci-fi inspirations.
- While accessible and cheerful, the game offers depth through various missions, abilities, and strategic decisions introduced throughout the story.
- Players balance real-time building placement with commanding robots, using different types of robots for attack and defense.
- Chip and Claws have unique abilities that cost Brainium, the building resource, adding layers of strategy to the gameplay.
- Players can equip HQ mods and choose between combat-focused or economy-focused strategies based on their playstyle.
- The game offers various weapons and abilities, such as frenzy grenades and overdrive effects, adding tactical considerations to combat.
- Julian Gollop, a veteran strategy game designer, emphasizes the importance of experimentation, bluffing, and adapting in strategy game design.
