8-bit Invaders for PC is a classic real-time strategy, mixing the best elements of the genre. The developers directly modeled the game after the first installment of StarCraft series. The title takes the players to a science-fiction universe, were human space marines and an alien race of Cranoids constantly fight for dominance. 8-bit Invaders offers a classic gameplay, focusing on resource gathering, base building, and creating a huge number of units that are used to completely annihilate the enemy forces and buildings. It should be mentioned that in the relation to the predecessor, the developers introduced a completely new economic system, and replaced superweapons with so called epic units.

Additionally, they can participate in 10 cooperation levels, and try their luck in Conquer The Multiverse, a new mode that offers infinite number of randomly generated scenarios.

Game Ratings for 8-bit Invaders Video Game.
TechRaptor: 6 / 10 by Alec Blouin
Stands out purely on aesthetics and is fueled by nostalgic charm, but lacks any staying power or complexity. 8-bit Invaders is a good pick for fans of the genre or beginners who want to get into RTS, but is otherwise unfulfilling.
Screen Rant: 3 / 5 by Rob Gordon
8-Bit Invaders for PS4 is a charming real-time strategy game that has plenty of character but stumbles in delivery of a thrilling strategy experience.
GamePitt: 8 / 10 by Rob Pitt
I couldn't have asked for a better game than 8-Bit Invaders to conclude the franchise with. From its sci-fi themed music and aesthetics to its blatant 'Alien' inspired units, the final game in the franchise offers the best balancing, the most explosive wars, and the more accessible adventure for new players. Whether playing on your own as you work through the campaigns or if you grab a mate and do co-op or multiplayer, there are many hours of enjoyment to be found here, many more if you own more than one of the games. The online with strangers side is still very quiet, which is a shame, but if you're playing with your mates then it's a fun experience. 8-Bit Invaders would be the game I recommend everyone who likes the look of the franchise starts out with, followed by 8-Bit Armies and then 8-Bit Hordes.
