9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far (v864064 & DLC)

9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far is a retro-inspired real-time strategy game from Petroglyph, the studio behind several beloved RTS classics. Set in a pixelated world filled with military conflict, players command forces across land, sea, and air to outmaneuver opponents in a variety of large, destructible battlefields. The game expands on its predecessor by offering an even larger playable area—four times bigger than before—and introduces new gameplay mechanics such as dynamic bridges that can be built or destroyed to control key strategic points. Players can deploy airborne troops, utilize powerful superweapons, and manage a rapidly expanding base, including new mega-structures and a mobile headquarters that enable swift territorial control. The campaign, titled “The Sentinels,” pits players against the oppressive Overlords and an enigmatic alien threat, with the option to tackle missions solo or cooperatively with a friend. Progression is enhanced through a veterancy system that rewards players for their battlefield accomplishments by leveling up their armies and unlocking new abilities. The game also features an improved AI that provides a challenging experience for veterans, alongside a survival mode that tests endurance against relentless enemy waves. Multiplayer supports up to eight players in skirmishes and co-op campaigns, with full Steam Workshop integration allowing for custom maps, mods, and community content. Easy to learn yet hard to master, 9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far offers a fresh take on classic RTS gameplay with a vibrant pixel-art style and plenty of strategic depth.
