Cortex Command for Mac
Data Realms has released a Mac version of Cortex Command, a game that lets users control a telekinetic brain that lands on an alien planet. Players can create a customized bunker to be used for taking control of enemy soldiers or machinery that will assist with exploration of the planet and defense against threats. The terrain of the game is fully destructible and ever-lasting, allowing soldiers to use digging tools to discover gold, while permanently leaving all holes or destroyed enemies on the field. All graphics are designed in 2D pixel.
Gold found within the game can be used to purchase more soldiers and better equipment. A transport ship delivers the reinforcements and gear to a user-defined location.
The game is still in development stages, currently offering only a skirmish mode for up to four players. Data Realms' final version is claimed to include additional missions and a campaign mode.
Users can purchase the game for a pre-release discounted price of $20, with free updates including the final version. For customers that wait for the formal release, the price will jump to $40.
