    Liked Facebook; also signed up for beta posted on February 13th. Are you still accepting beta applicants? If so, thank you in advance for any consideration.

    Hunted Cow Studios has been "on fire" lately with the Battle Dungeon relaunch and now this (also I see on Facebook a contract with The Lordz Game Studio and an upcoming MMORPG, Eldaven).

    Watched.

    It looks like just another RTS to me actually... Maybe an RTS fan can give better feedback?

    I'm very excited about this release; bring it on.
    I understand it is a real time strategy game; but not JUST a RTS but one with wild looking space combat.

    Was anyone from TA able to beta-test this one? It's almost out, and it does look interesting.

    ^from the FB description, it sounds like it's Battleheart with a spacefleet.

    $0.99 sounds suspiciously low; that hardly seems fair to you guys (the developer).

    Pyramus Review

    PYRAMUS

    What is PYRAMUS ? - I'd never heard of the word so ran to google - and I discover Pyramus was one half of a doomed babylonian relationship. Culture from HCS ? - Surely I must be mistaken ? - they're known for games like Fallensword, Sigmastorm and the up-coming Eldevin on the PC platform and Tank Battle, Civil War & Battle Dungeon on the iphone/ipad platform.

    OK, so the name isn't connected to the Babylonian Romeo and Juliet. Thank heavens for that.

    What we have is a game that is, on very first impressions, reminiscent of that old arcade classic, Asteroids.

    Thankfully, that's not accurate either. Its a real time space combat game with multiple types of space ship that either battle solo or en-masse, utilising each others strengths and covering each others weaknesses. An example being, gunships have weapons but are relatively weak, armour wise. To keep them "alive" and working for you, you need to liase with your support vessel, which has a "healing ray" which regenerates their shields, allowing them back into combat.

    The tutorial holds your hands pretty well ...

    Mission 1 : Navigate a gunship from point A to point B
    Mission 2 : Use the gunship to destroy 3 inert targets
    Mission 3 : Use the destroyer to destroy live targets
    Mission 4 : Use your support vessel and gunship in harmony to safely navigate through the dangerous Nebula

    Once you've completed this tuturial, it's all systems go.

    You then start on the Terran Coalition campaign, of which there are 10 missions - each successive one being unlocked by the completion of its predeccesor. Complete this and you can then fight as the Korthan Empire for another 10 missions.

    All in all, a fun way of spending some time. It has a special, 50% off, introductory price - so, spend your dollar and give it a whirl.
