8-Bit Armies is a real-time strategy video game developed by Petroglyph Games. It features a single-player campaign and a multiplayer mode in which players battle each other or the AI in the cooperative game mode. The game takes a very simplistic approach in its game-play and graphical elements. The graphic features a blocky 8-bit retro-art voxel style with partially destructible terrain. Game-play is very similar to the classic Command & Conquer franchise, many of the original developers of which work for Petroglyph Games. The player starts with a headquarter building which he uses to expand his base so he can build various military units to fight his opponents. Resources are gathered via oil trucks and refineries. Units and buildings are built via a clickable menu on the right side of the screen. The game is situated in a contemporary scenario featuring generic tank, artillery or rocket units. At the release of the game, only one faction was playable, but Petroglyph Games announced that they planned to release more factions later on.
