The standard PC strategy game has, over the past few years, taken on a more routine feel, with each new release that little bit more bereft of genuine innovations. Step forward Codemasters’ Perimeter, which not only bothers to try something a little different, but manages to pull it off too.
The game is set in the future, with numerous civilisations looking for new homes in a freshly uncovered galaxy. And this does, at heart, mean that it takes the standard form of resource management and a fair few battles. Yet there are new tricks at work here. For instance, if you have enough energy, when you’re being attacked you can activate a perimeter defensive shield, instantly pulverising any opponents within it. Terraforming is also important you need to alter the landscape of your environment not just so you can build structures onto it, but also for strategic means. Then there’s nano-technology, where your robotic warriors can, assuming your technology is in place, morph en masse into something a little more powerful. It really adds a more flexible strategic edge to the gameplay, knowing that you can, for instance, combine forces into a tank or an aerial assault. What’s more, picking the right technology for the right battle, which takes a little learning, only enhances the gameplay.
