## About Infested Planet

Infested Planet is a top-down tactical strategy game that blends tower defense with real-time strategy elements, developed by Rocket Bear Games and released in 2014 at $14.99. The core experience centers on base defense, marine upgrades, and a mutation system that keeps enemy behavior unpredictable. Players can pause and plan, collect resources from crates scattered across procedurally generated levels, and customize marine loadouts to suit different tactical approaches. Reviewers note the marine upgrades make combat satisfying, while players describe the resource management as forcing tough strategic choices and the procedural levels as offering high replayability. The challenging difficulty and tactical depth have earned the title a 95 percent positive rating from over 1,800 Steam reviews. The game is playable on Steam Deck and offers a medium-length experience best suited for focused sit-down sessions.
