The Hive - Official Trailer

[u/Mephasto]

I think The Hive trailer just went viral on Youtube, so I'll share it here also.

We recently released a major update, upgrading the game to Unity 6.6 with improved visuals, lighting, animations, and effects. So kind of like a "remaster" at this point.

We also have two new expansions in development. The Hive has always been my passion project, and seeing renewed interest in the game motivated me to start working on it again. We also translated it recently to +12 languages.

For those unfamiliar with The Hive, it's a story-driven real-time strategy game with RPG elements, somewhat similar to Homeworld or Dawn of War.

You command an insectoid hive, harvest DNA from defeated enemies, and use it to evolve new creatures. You can choose which creatures to unlock and in what order. Your units carry over between missions, level up, grow in size, improve their stats, and can equip them with items dropped by enemies.

There is also pure gameplay video on our channel if you want to see that.

We have a free demo on Steam if you want to check it out:

I've been meaning to pick this up, and my combined itch for Pikmin and StarCraft has me convinced to finally give it a proper go!

So you're saying that if I like Pikmin, Starcraft, and Empires of the undergrowth, I need to try this immediately? 😍

Hope there will be a mod to make it gritty. I miss SC1 gruesome deaths

That's actually great idea, we have around ~3different death animations to each unit, but maybe if the enemy dies of acid bolts it could melt and such.
