This OP is from like 2010 holy stuff it's still useful:



What is it?

It's a physics-based 2D side-scrolling shooter with pixel-y graphics, crabs, mod ability, lots of gamemodes, a pretty neat AI, rather varied mod support, the ability to cram a stuffload of crabs into a crate as an ad-hoc bomb, and (as of build 30) Steam Workshop. Seriously this game's pretty neat overall, check out out.

Story

Earth was over.

Once peaceful, our world was awash in bloodshed, wracked by wars backed by holy men. It was humanity's darkest hour, and the boldest decisions were simply all we had left.
Forged in the rush of war, a curious symbiosis between man and machine formed. Our numbers bleeding away, technology enabled the survivors to control robots and clones from safety. And in the end, we found our bodies an obsolete constraint, and cast them off. Brain and mind interfaced with machines, we became more spirit than flesh-- one person living through many bodies.

And in this new form we attained escape from the corpse of our world. Interstellar rocket ships for the decades-long flights to reach new worlds became common once life support for entire bodies was unnecessary.
Fleeing into the dark unknown, humanity discovered it was not alone, but also not important. Humanity struggled for acceptance in this alien community, eventually forging the Orion Spur Amalgam. Interstellar trade flourished, and with it came rapid expansion. As the era of faster-than-light dawned, humanity could live again in peace and prosperity.

But human nature wasn't cast off as easily. For every city and space station compounded the ever-growing hunger for resources. Worlds were stripped in civilized sectors where law ensured conquest by the highest bidder. So all eyes turned outward, to star systems where no law existed but what you could enforce.
As the gold rush brings commanders from several rival groups to one such world beyond the far eastern fringes of the OSA, all prepare to assume... Cortex Command.

you bet your ass this is a cool game

It's a shame Metacritic shat on it so hard. They probably died on the tutorial.

I knew something was different with the AI. I didn't know they'd improved it.


I got this in a humble bundle a long time ago and I think I was promised future updates

how do i get my future updates

okay so I just go to the page and hit download and I get CCBuild30.exe
the linux version is labelled as "Version 1.0 RC 1" is this build 30?

okay that is not build 30 but it's the build right before build 30, i guess
after 27 and before 30
idk

I like it the way it is now, campaign wise.

Seriously, just get a friend or two to play the campaign with and it's lots of fun.

bumping because this game is gr8
if youre looking for something more indepth campaign-wise, try out Unmapped Lands 2 or Void Wanders
both are user-made total conversion mods, really fun to play
right now mods basically make the game

bought this game a couple of years ago i think
is there multiplayer yet? that was my biggest want

someone made a multiplayer mod for b27 (i think) at some point
dont know if it still works or if anyone plays on it, but it at least used to work
