The team behind D.O.R.F., a delightfully retro-looking real-time strategy game, has finally revealed a new update for the game after months of silence.
The new update gives a look at the throwback real-time strategy game’s upgraded lighting system, as well as its improved texture work. Despite adhering to a 90s style like the original Command & Conquer, the new D.O.R.F. RTS game seeks to improve on its predecessors.
“It’s been quite a while, mostly due to having to throw out basically the entirety of the game’s graphics and replace them with new sprite sheets that are compatible with the new lighting and shadowing system, but now that system is (mostly) set in stone,” DORFteam said in an update. “We’ll try and go back to putting out semi-regular updates.”
D.O.R.F. Real-Time Strategic Conflict is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), though a release date still hasn’t been confirmed.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus the new video update:
D.O.R.F. Real-Time Strategic Conflict is a return to classic isometric RTS action, featuring elaborate base-building, resource gathering and massive battles with powerful and unique units. Take command of one of three factions, construct your base, gather and consume resources and smash your enemies!
Features
Elaborately detailed isometric sprites that harken back to the classic days of PC real-time strategy, while making use of modern rendering techniques and resolution.
Base construction and resource harvesting, but with a modern twist; resources must get from the refineries to the factories, rewarding players with efficient base layouts.
Pump oil from deposits, mine ore beneath the surface, and gather scrap and debris left over from previous battles to fuel your war machine.
Three unique factions: play as the brutalist battle-hardened Empire, the junkyard jalopy war machines of the Warbands, or the technologically sophisticated and mysterious N.W.O.
A massive arsenal at your disposal: from psychic rogues to multi-turret landships, self-cloaking tanks and giant crushing junk spheres of death, every faction offers their own arsenal of powerful and strange units.
Explore and conquer a twisted vision of Earth’s future, corrupted by genetic experiments, endless warfare and extraterrestrial anomalies.
Have your troops engage in brutal close-quarters fighting by storming enemy fortifications and facilities; capture your enemies factories and use their own technologies against them.
D.O.R.F. will feature an elaborate campaign for each of the game’s three factions, as well as multiplayer with up to 8 players per-match.
