Lead A Troop of Space Commandos in USC: Counterforce, Early Access Teaser Trailer

Developer Angry Cat Studios and publisher Firesquid announced today that their turn-based squad tactics game USC: Counterforce will be launching in Steam Early Access on July 25^th, offering hours of gameplay and significant replayability to scratch every top-down strategy game lover’s itch. Inspired by successful videogames of the same genre, players are thrown into the role of a commander of a Space Commandos platoon. Sent to a planetary body to investigate and eliminate a destructive alien threat, players must prevent them from reaching humanity and uncover the events leading to the demise of the planet’s colony.

Face against your extra-terrestrial foes in either single-player or multiplayer modes (available in local co-op via Hot-seat or Remote Play) with four special operations and countless procedurally generated missions (packed with mission-specific goals) from word go. Players will be able to assemble teams of commandos, assign them roles featuring class-free to customise to your style, as well as individual abilities beneficial in the war on terrifying aliens. Alongside micro-managing each soldier, the player has an assortment of melee and ranged weapons, ammunition types, and gadgets like hacking tools and turrets at their disposal to tackle every mission any way they wish.

Every mission map the Space Commandos enter will include interactive surroundings with everything from walls to barricades (that can also be built to create a defensive perimeter) being fully destructive in combat. Other obstacles players can face are environmental hazards that can be used against grouped-up aliens and laid traps.

Developers of USC: Counterforce is planning to use community feedback during Early Access to improve and update the base game, including changing future updates and features to match players’ experiences. Once the final version is released, the base game will include a full, open-ended campaign with an adaptive storyline. USC: Counterforce is set to release into Early Access on July 25th.
