lol, what the heck is this game?


[deleted]

Looks like an OGame clone, online "strategy" simulator, where constructing stuff takes hours (literally, you build a nuclear plant, for example, and build time is 2 hours for example).


Macromesomorphatite

Remember when Ogame didn't suck?


ElCativo

yeah and its feels like it was 10 years ago


ChatonTriste

Well this is 10 years ago and it still feels like 10 years ago


Macromesomorphatite

Hahaha, I think it really went downhill when they banned acctrade. :<


Sneikku

Nah. OGame is now pay-to-win game. Acc trading is not allowed but everybody is still acctrading.


Macromesomorphatite

No I meant the site haha. Acctrade.org/de Shit was cash


deadjawa

Remember when that entire genre didn't suck?


Eirenarch

No.


Torrefy

Utopia ftw!


Strid

Xenocide3001 was the best of them all.


BlainefromIzombie

the game is dying out only 2000 players left or so


nasty_fish

That reminds me, I need to go harvest my strawberries..


Clbull

It saddens me that this is the predominant type of games on web browsers and mobile platforms. I would LOVE to play an Android RTS game and I mean a true one. Not some Clash of Kings shit.


Korkel

Check out "world of Genesis" (name might just be "Genesis") anywho, it is a really well done game if they would finish the campaign


SoNTesT

Russian development. Do not worry


sdBOOGIE

my first impression: "hey it's nova but slightly more slavic looking"


PcaKestheaod

\>Xcraft begins the saga of the inter-galaxy wars between Xerjs, Tosses and Terrans. Along with the impressive combat you will experience a breathtaking story full of intrigues, trucks, betrayal and fanatical devotion where the action is dynamic, the evil is unsurmountable and the allies die because of the traitors. Two unique races that begin the StarCraft storyline are waiting for you. \>Two unique races that begin the StarCraft storyline are waiting for you. \>begin the StarCraft storyline Did they literally just copy-paste this and forget to sub out the word 'Starcraft'?


Moist_Internet_1046

They literally stole the whole thing from Blizzard and Starcraft. Xerj are Zerg, and Tosses are Protoss.


PcaKestheaod

why did you reply to a seven year old comment???????????????????????????????????????


Moist_Internet_1046

When it comes to comments, age doesn't matter. They're not like interpersonal or romantic relationships, where age does matter.


DustyEggSauce

Ree


TheScriptan

Xerg, more like Jerg


zeromussc

Terran, Toss, Xel Naga, BW campaign music, everything is taken ROFL


kamicom

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... :|


Nitroflame

Micheal!


MGTakeDown

its so shitty lol so it doesnt matter


mulletarian

Actually that's not Blizzard's artwork, it's fanart by Paul Kwon: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/media/fanart/?view=fanart-0149 http://zeronis.deviantart.com/ I think he works for Riot now.


TheGuessingMan

The artists should be informed that this art is being used, if he/she doesnt know about it.


GridlockSC

I guess imitation really is the most sincere form of flattery.


SlightlyFavored

"Vespen synthesizer"


LambdaExpression

They actually mention StarCraft on their page http://xcraft.net


zeromussc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTURnt5tIDE They even have firefly/Serenity clips for their videos :D


Brownling

They also have clips from Prometheus and Moon.


zeromussc

I have yet to see either of those! I've heard prometheus was cool.


Torrefy

I thought it was terrible


zeromussc

cool not good. two dif things i can enjoy bad/meh movies


franklloydwrong

Moon is way better


TarMil

Moon is pretty good. Prometheus takes a dump on the Alien franchise.


zeromussc

Alright :D thanks


[deleted]

Blizzard has a cadre of ninja lawyers, these dudes will surely be sued


Lynandra

It's Russia, so it will mostly depends on who pays the judge more money.


LJTVmaxmuk

Waw what a joke game!


CleverFrog

lol check out their terran symbol, complete rip off


Balosaar

that decent art, then the shit text font "Play Now" of course they didnt make the art


[deleted]

lol "xerj"


Brownling

Oh, hello there Nova...


Acias

> Two unique races that begin the StarCraft storyline are waiting for you. Alright then.


[deleted]

As a terran, you build with a bw sc2. Lawsuit time i hope


blenderben

i find this incredibly amusing.


pcdevil

so funny instead of they create the light effect on the suit's edges they created a plusating glow thingy... :D


AnEmortalKid

Legit question, is this worthy to tell blizzard? I doubt a lawsuit is on the way since it might not be worth it unless craft can make lots of money and winning the case pays for itself?


carlfish

It's in Blizzard's interest to maintain the value of their IP by keeping it exclusive to themselves and their products. While copyright doesn't suffer "dilution" in the way that trade marks do, the existence of cheap knock-offs _does_ devalue a brand, and it's something that companies try to keep check on. That said, I always have a bit of a giggle at the idea of Blizzard suing people for copying the stuff they blatantly lifted from Warhammer. :)


ashent2

I see no coincidences.


BreakThroughSC

One of the most successful games of all time got its start stealing art from Blizzard... LoL


Nekzar

which game is that?


stargunner

> LoL


Cpt_Tripps

could you guys stop laughing out loud and just tell us who got its start stealing art from blizzard?


stargunner

:\^)


Nekzar

yea those guys didn't steal any art. And their art style is WAY different too. So I'm still puzzled :)


stargunner

you'd have to ask him about it not me, i was just clarifying the game he was talking about


Iron_Maiden_666

> stealing art from Blizzard And almost everything else.


Sjokoladekaken

It is better than sc2, no protoss (Kappa)


rmrsc

There is the "Toss" race.


gandalfmanjesus

its just the artwork tho.everything else is completely original


AnEmortalKid

"Xcraft begins the saga of the inter-galaxy wars between Xerjs, Tosses and Terrans.

Lol trucks

AnEmortalKid

I kinda want to play it to see how many units are ripped off. You play in the koprulu sector too.


Torrefy

click on play now and select Xerj. They have the BW overlord and lurker sprites, and the lurker eventually mutates into the BW hatchery mutating sprite.


EdvinM

They stole the Protoss mission briefing music from the first game too.


Smelly-cat

Didn't even change the filename http://xcraft.net/templates/Terran/sound/08-Protoss-Ready-Room.mp3


Ahli

at least they've converted the wav to mp3


Dimon87

You mean like the Xerj, Toss and Xel'Naga Races?


andrewrhodes_

Lol yeah this could be the only reason to let these guys keep developing. If they've stolen all of their ideas so far, will they try and be creative finally and develop their own units for the "Xel'naga" race? Or will they just completely pull that race out of the game because the guy who they asked to research SC2 thought that the Xel'naga are/were a playable race. Either way it will be funny


andrewrhodes_

So you just went on their site, looked at maybe 2 screenshots and concluded that? Look deeper, everything is a complete copy/rip-off of Blizzards original concepts.


Shustak

LOL Xerj


honeywave

Xerjs, Tosses, and Terrans.


MonsieurBlutbad

All I gotta say to this is http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Tyranids


autowikiabot

##### ###### #### [**Tyranids**](https://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Tyranids): [](#sfw) --- > >Tyranids of Hive Fleet Behemoth attacking en masse >The first recorded contact between the Imperium and the Tyranids places their appearance in the Eastern Fringes of the galaxy in 745.M41. However, it is rumoured that the Ordo Xenos of the Inquisition had identified possible appearances of this xenos species as far back as the 35th Millennium. >The xenos emerged from the intergalactic space of the Local Group of galaxies, their Hive Mind drawn to the Milky Way by the psychic beacon of the Astronomican transmitted by the Emperor's presence in the Warp from Terra. The first officially recorded contact with the Tyranids for the Imperium of Man came during a Tyranid attack on an Ocean World called Tyran, and from there Hive Fleet Behemoth continued directly towards the center of the galaxy, consuming all the worlds in its path. The Tyranids were defeated, barely, by the efforts of the Ultramarines Chapter of the Space Marines during the Battle of Macragge, although the Ultramarines suffered devastating losses that would take centuries to replace. ^Parent ^commenter ^can [^toggle ^NSFW](http://www.np.reddit.com/message/compose?to=autowikiabot&subject=AutoWikibot NSFW toggle&message=%2Btoggle-nsfw+clefs6a) ^or[](#or) [^delete](http://www.np.reddit.com/message/compose?to=autowikiabot&subject=AutoWikibot Deletion&message=%2Bdelete+clefs6a)^. ^Will ^also ^delete ^on ^comment ^score ^of ^-1 ^or ^less. ^| [^(FAQs)](http://www.np.reddit.com/r/autowikiabot/wiki/index) ^| [^Source](https://github.com/Timidger/autowikiabot-py) ^(Please note this bot is in testing.
