Squad shooters where you control your troops.

The upcoming game Disintegration looks to have squad controls.

Heheh. I’m not kidding either - stop me if these screens look familiar at all.

Here’s my Armed Uprising Lady - the inventory and skill management screen is all M&B.

It’s also pretty lethal in the early game, much like M&B. I tend to try and find fights the local militia are starting and then I join in. Trying to kick off when it’s five-vs-five invariably leads to either teammate death or my character getting a surprise dirt nap.

Some gameplay from Disintegration. Not sure it looks absolutely great but at least it’s a bit different. Nice to have a different scale / perspective.

Disintegration technical beta is free to play right now through tomorrow night at midnight.

Freedom Fighters was pretty great for its time. Here’s a recent retrospective video.

Watching that makes me want to replay The Thing. Here’s a video review.
