Parasite Warz is an upcoming RTS being developed using Game Maker: Studio, available for Windows and eventually mobile platforms. Parasite Warz is set within a fictional microscopic universe in which two rivaling parasite species are battling each other for control of it’s host. The game mechanics are simple, send worker parasites to harvest DNA which is used to construct additional units (workers, warriors) and attempt to crush the opposing red parasites by building up an army of warriors to attack the opposition. Each side has a matriarch which is key to building new units and harvesting DNA. Defeat the enemy matriarch to win the game. However, if your matriarch dies, it is game over. The finished game will feature a total of ten levels, each one progressively more difficult. Use of strategy and a well thought out plan is key to victory for this game. The engine utilizes a fog of war system similar to Warcraft and Starcraft. The entire project is being developed by one person.
As of late, Parasite Warz has gone through a major overhall, primarily in terms of graphics and visuals, but also in sound/audio as well as a few major fixes and tweaks to the gameplay mechanics. Here is a teaser screenshot of Parasite Warz as of late.
