As a big fan of real-time strategy games I couldn't help but notice Alex's First Glimpse of Pumpkin Studios upcoming title, Warzone 2100. Coincidentally, just a couple of days later I was lucky enough to get a closer look at the game.

The backdrop of Warzone 2100 is set in a post-apocalyptic world where surviving groups fight to gain resources and technology required to once again make planet Earth a pleasant habitat for man.

For newbies, as you would expect, there's a tutorial mission that takes you through controls and the basics such as constructing buildings, extracting resources and researching as well as the ropes of unit design and construction, not to mention how to wage war on your enemy.
