King Gorg and the ever so helpless Miss Arielle! You can get a taste of their style via their launch trailer. Every part of the story in this game right through to the end is over the top exaggerated which is exactly where it should be. I would almost think they hired the same actor that was used in the opening scene from Pixar’s UP as the tone, pacing, and outright hilarious motivational talks are fun to listen to. The unique gameplay alone makes this a game worth buying but Futuremark went one step further and created that cliché story which has the worst dialogue, acting and cinematic quality I have ever seen and I absolutely LOVE IT! Going full out with a 50’s Sci-Fi theme they re-created and re-used a lot of stock footage to deliver the best that old B-Movie films can offer – strings included! Each new film shown between levels is what drove me to beat the entire game in 20 hours (minor break for sleep) as they are so expertly done in mixing old stock footage with new CGI that mimics the old 50’s techniques for special effects the voice-overs during newsreels are dead on. The games premise is simplistic by design: In 1950, newly discovered lifeforms – the Gorg – on Planet X are hell-bent on humanities destruction and so now you – Captain Atom – must save Earth from certain destruction at the hands of this massive armada! Things get worse as the Brain Riders and Sunbots join the Gorg in wiping out human colonies throughout the solar system. It plays like a hybrid between a puzzle game and a tower defense game as you struggle at times to find the optimum location to position an orbit during each wave along with the appropriate defenses in each slot a good way into the game you’ll find there really isn’t any ‘single’ location to leave an orbit to defend your base and will be constantly moving the orbit location around your base or moving a particular turret in line with an enemy unit to whittle down its health – downright necessary for the really BIG baddies this game throws at you! They’ve put their own spin on the gametype by limiting the building locations and adding in movable slots that orbit around your central base. The Unstoppable Gorg isn’t just any ol Tower Defense game it really does stand alone in the genre.
