The games industry has seen plenty of great releases in the AAA space as of late, but a recurring criticism with these blockbuster games has been one surrounding the ubiquity of the experience. Set-piece driven adventure games and open worlds with RPG mechanics and skill tree progression systems dominate the AAA industry, and there’s little in the name of groundbreaking mechanics or interesting mishmashes of different genres in mainstream games to speak of.

As such, the baton for breaking that new ground has been passed down to the AA and indie game scene where plenty of new and exciting releases await us right around the corner. This feature series is dedicated to putting a spotlight on such promising games, and today we will be looking at Outpost: Infinity Siege. The game is currently in development at Team Ranger which previously released Project Morpheus’ prologue this year to positive reception, and Outpost: Infinity Siege is looking to be yet another game that stands out against the barrage of homogenized releases in the current AAA landscape.

The game features a unique combat loop, and the available footage shows that the action smoothly transitions from one type of gameplay to the other without any hitches. Players start each invasion by preparing their defenses, setting up turrets, machine guns, missiles, and other equipment, including explosive barrels that can be used against incoming enemies. Co-op gameplay is also supported, allowing players to get support from friends and create bigger outposts, causing more mayhem on the front lines.

##A Wide Variety of Gameplay Options

Outpost Infinity Siege offers a wide variety of options for players to choose from when it comes to defense equipment. Players must make wise choices to survive the toughest challenges in the game. The trailer showcases huge squadrons of enemies attacking from the skies above, while ground troops pummel down the player's defenses, making it a challenge to defend.

Once the defenses are set up, players can shift their perspective to first-person and get thrust right into the heat of battle. The player character is easy to control and can cover huge distances quickly by using a grappling hook to transport through long corridors and over walls. The shooting mechanics are also pretty competent, thanks to adequate audio and visual feedback from the guns as well as damage indicators on the enemies. Additionally, players can take control of huge mechs and wreak havoc upon their adversaries by using heavy ammunition.

##A Game of Choices

Outpost Infinity Siege also features RTS elements that allow players to direct specific enemy units that their defenses should prioritize and which ones they should deal with. Player progression plays a huge role as they advance their conquest in the game. Each successful mission earns rewards in the form of XP, which can be used to upgrade the Outpost with thicker walls of defense, more cannons, and offensive combat methods to take on even tougher challenges.

##Amazing Graphics

Visually, Outpost Infinity Siege looks nothing short of amazing. The graphics look great from a technical standpoint, and the art direction is intriguing, depicting a sci-fi world threatened by mechanical monsters and gargantuan mechs. The designers over at Team Ranger have done an excellent job of rendering all the real-time chaos that ensues in these invasions without any hitches.

Outpost Infinity Siege stands out against the barrage of homogenized releases in the current AAA landscape. The game's focus is on juggling between different modes in real-time while trying to hold off huge armies against what seems to be insurmountable hordes of enemies. The balance between the different forms of gameplay is crucial and will determine whether each loop feeds into each other smoothly.
