  • Official Grey Goo Starter Guide
    Official Grey Goo Starter Guide Content created by Greybox/Petroglyph Games and posted by Berek Grey Goo Overview Grey Goo features a 15-mission single-player campaign revolving around three factions - the industrial Beta, the technologically advanced Humans, and the volatile Goo. This real-time strategy (RTS) game was developed by Petroglyph, a company with deep RTS gaming roots; veterans at the studio originally hail from Westwood Studios, the folks responsible for creating the iconic Command & Conquer series. The company designed Grey Goo using their proprietary GlyphX engine and the game includes full-CGI cutscenes between missions to give an even greater depth of story. The team worked with Weta Workshop on the art in the game. Grey Goo is focused on a larger, more strategic scale of gameplay. The game supports up to 200 units on the field per player, and unit speeds are a bit slower relative to StarCraft, making scouting and planning ahead even more important. Grey Goo’s deep tech upgrade trees are designed to unlock diverse gameplay options for units and structures rather than simple stat increases. In addition to the single player campaign, the game features Skirmish and multiplayer modes with up to four players; you can challenge other players or take on a variety of different AI, with varying difficulty levels, in a variety of multiplayer maps. Factions – more detailed unit information can be found by clicking here Humans - Very good at turtling (focusing on base defenses), with solid core base design and fortifications, but they sacrifice some mobility and map control to do so.
