Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids - kiddie action strategy game from Julian Gollop

[ropetight]

Does Julian Gollop have grandkids or grandnieces?
This looks something that's meant to appeal to kids.

Look like Startopia, kind of.

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Looks absolute rubbish really, though gameplay over graphics every time. But the choice of colors, horribly flat lighting, lack of shadows, and just a general feel of cheap plastic toys doesn't look promising.

Yea, it looks like toys. Instant turn off.

Good detail though.

 

[Jaedar]

I don't know why, but seeing buildings and an ufo reminds me of X-Com Apocalypse.

Gollop returning to do Apoc RIGHT would be megahuge incline, apoc has so much unrealized potential. X-com is a great game as it is, openxcom gives it modern QoL, it doesn't need a remaster or a remake. Apoc deserves it.

Looks like a kids game. As in actually aimed at people age 7-12. The tweet also implies it's a 2 player coop game?

 

[VonMiskov]

It looks like mobile tower defense game.

 

[PanteraNera]

Well not such a huge downfall like from Dead State to PANIC at Multiverse High! but it certainly reminds me of that.

When was the last time you thought, "I'm not interested in new creative ideas, instead I'm super excited to spend 3-5 years on something I was bored and done with 3 decades ago"?

When that creative idea is apparently to make a toy game for kids

Not often but "I had a cool idea 30 years ago that got ruined by publisher deadlines, I'd like to see it done right"? Sure, why not.

We are happy to announce the arrival of Chip ‘n Clawz vs. the Brainioids—a unique blend of 3rd person action and real-time strategy!

The alien Brainioids have invaded Earth and stolen all our precious Brainium crystals in their Grav Spheres. Only Chip, a young inventor, and his robo-cat, Clawz, can thwart their evil plans by taking control of each sphere, all the way up to the Mothership itself! From the mind of Julian Gollop comes a humorous sci-fi adventure that captures the essence of RTS gameplay. Play as the heroic duo, Chip and Clawz, in single-player or co-op, to put a stop to the Brainioid invasion in an exciting story campaign! In addition, battle online in quick multiplayer matches or double your fun with 2-player couch co-op! We aim to reinvigorate the best memories of childhood strategy games in a new, 3rd-person-action formula. We believe this is a special game that would appeal to younger and older fans of sci-fi, strategy, and action games. But don’t take our word for it! Check out the free demo available during Steam Next Fest! See you in the Grav Sphere!

Holy shit, just got the email with this in it.

Grandpa Gollop rides a unicorn, all right

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Has a wacky feel to it... bleeeeergh

I can see what you are getting at, but when you watch the intro proper and the music starts, it all feels very sinister and creepy.
