8-Bit Armies is Petroglyph doing Command & Conquer

Westwood is back with Command & Conquer, as 8-bit Armies from Petroglyph.

And this is why (how) it finally now works:

Detailed polygonal RTSs don’t look as clear as they did when they were sprites. Modern graphics become much more detailed and rely on accurate scale. Because of this, it’s hard to make out what’s going on and sometimes this required the developers to make units stand out by designing them with flair. With this new look, it allows an RTS to look and feel like a classic RTS. And because of the minimalist graphics, this gives developers more time to make a campaign! A campaign is exactly what we want, as most modern games with advanced graphics tend to be light on the content.

You can get it on Steam here!
