We've played Stormgate, and it looks like a worthy successor to StarCraft.
match is like entering a portal back to the halcyon days of Warcraft, Starcraft and Command & Conquer, back when the RTS masters of the time, Blizzard and Westwood, were continually trying to one-up each other. Developer Frost Giant was formed by Blizzard veterans, so this is not accidental. Yet this does not feel like a throwback exclusively dealing in nostalgia.
So I can get on with more important business, I don't need to command workers to construct this building. That's automated. One of the workers mining resources stops what they're doing, saunters over to the blueprint and gets to work. Once it's done, it heads back to the node, but because it's a little efficient robot, it first deposits some resources it's carrying in the HQ.
With my robots diligently working away, it's time to explore the battlefield with my trusty hound. This scout unit is unique to the Vanguard faction, and it has handy sensors that highlight units beyond its range with an exclamation mark. So you know there are some dangers out there, but not the specifics of those dangers. Thankfully my scout has an ability that temporarily expands its range, potentially letting you see these impending dangers with full clarity.
They certainly seem worth fighting over. One camp I find generates a handy healing buff upon defeating the creep. Even more helpful are the camps I find at either side of the map, which give me a full view of the surrounding area. With both of them active, and a scout left in the middle of the map, all the routes to my base are covered, giving me absolutely vital information about enemy movements. Because the effects are residual, they remain relevant throughout the game.
Vulcans, a type of assault mech, have a rather unique way of traversing the map, as they can get access to jump jets that allow them to simply smash through heavily-forested areas, demolishing the trees in the process, or jump over cliffs. They're great for murdering crowds of enemies, as they wield massive chain guns where the rate of fire increases the longer they're firing.
