We want to inaugurate this new subsection Of games Open source with this video game called Mindustry. A beautiful and truly complete game.
Mindustry, an interesting hybrid
The world of video games is complex and those Open source truly exceptional probably they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Mindustry we think it is one of these also due to its general complexity. The game is sort of hybrid among the most recent tower defense hey old strategists in real time (Warcraft, Age of Empire etc).
We talk about a hybrid between these two genres because the game is based on collection and production of material for construction and turrets with which you will have to continually defend yourself from the attack of enemies who can't wait to destroy you.
A tutorial will show you the way
Even if you are not used to video games like this there is a nice one tutorials at the beginning which will allow you to quickly understand what the missions are, how to do them extract the precious minerals and how they can build defensive towers. It will then be up to you to develop the right tactics to counter enemy advances.
We really like the fact that the video game is available on all platforms, starting from Windows, Mac, Linux and we get up to Android and also App Store. There is also a paid version from €4.99 on Steam which has more features such as the multiplayer.
The game is so big and complex that there is even a mammoth Wiki page where you can find all the information you need if you decide to try it.
We leave you the link for the general download page because there are so many platforms that it would not make sense to put links now that maybe in a few days they will be old.
