A strange planet. High-tech weapons. Alien-shooting, head-bashing Space Marines.

Infested Planet, a game in which you take command of a squad of 5 weathered Space Marines who share one mission: to relentlessly push back wave after wave of chitin-covered aliens and ultimately destroy them, is available 25% off on GOG.com. That's only $11.24* for the first week!

Many a time during the lengthy campaign you may find yourself having to pull back and regroup, but fear not - with some tactical skill, your men will find a way to beat the onslaught, distract the alien bugs and attack their hive-like strongholds before the enemies evolve into an even more dangerous breed. Infested Planet has lengthy campaigns, mutating aliens, real-time tactics in play and multiple upgrades for you to unlock as you progress through the game to better fend off the blue scourge.

As Rocket Bear Games, creators of Infested Planet, say themselves: “it's all about striking hard and killing lots of squishy alien bugs” - and few things sound better than that. For just $11.24 we can thoroughly recommend it for many an evening of world-saving and alien-slaying. The 25% off special release discount lasts until Thursday, November 13, at 10:59AM GMT.

**$11.24 is the price for this title in the US. Other prices will apply in different countries. If you end up paying more than than the US price, we will reimburse the difference from our own pocket, giving it back to you in store credit (this is what we call the "Fair Price Package").
Very good release. Thank you GOG and Rocket Bear Games! +1

I might have completely missed something, but shouldn't this be Real Time Tactics?

It's basically Commandos so it should read:

Vythonaut: I guess it isn't GOG's fault
I agree. I didn't mean to be critical. Just chasing down an oddity which would have left me wondering otherwise.
What's the logic behind a small developer/publisher releasing a game at two (and more I guess) different pricing?
I have no interest in the game, but I am not even willing to give it a go since I am being overcharged. Yes, GOG is giving me back the money in store credit and I am glad for that, but that's irrelevant.
Pity.

edit:
Ugh. Felt like I was advertising another service in a release thread, so I nixed the link. Anyway, the narration was (hastily?) borrowed from a trailer tailored for another service.

Vythonaut: I guess it isn't GOG's fault, they (the developer) should have made a clean trailer so that each retailer can add his logo in the end...
sometimes we get some weird stuff in trailers, but I don't want to do anything more than cover or clip in places, the minimum amount needed to fix whatever we have to fix. Otherwise I am re-cutting someone's trailer and that's not fair to the developer.

Edit: It's also rude

Do you want to see more?
Ah, this game. Some other GOGer (from the UK but I don't remember who exactly) has mentioned it on many occasions, saying that it's pretty darn great.
Looks interesting, but a little too expensively regionally priced at the moment for me.

Exoanthrope: First we got Lifeless Planet, then we just got Lovely Planet. Now we have Infested Planet.

So when are we getting Lost Planet? :P
Plus Lovely Planet and Infested Planet in the same week? Talk about contrast!
Although depends on what it's infested WITH I suppose, could be the same place if it's kittens and puppies!

Anyway, I think you made the right choice for this video to apply the fadeout at the end so that the trailer stays intact (as meant to be uploaded by the developer) and at the same time be discreet and professional. :-)

I said UK. *slap*
I think it was amok. It was the first name I thought of but I wasn't sure.

OK, misread the "UK" part. Still, Matruchus does recommend the game quite a bit.

Well, as an...

I think it's kinda between : as you are fighting against a continuous flow, the whole thing feel like a progression with different objectives. Yet I agree that the action occurs on a tactical scale.

Frankly, I'd say it's quite rude of the developer to give you a trailer tailored to another distributor.
