Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids: Going Underground

This massive DLC expands Chip ‘n Clawz with a brand new story campaign, new enemies to fight, upgrades to collect, and secrets to explore.

Chip ‘n Clawz are in deep trouble! Literally! Their HQ has fallen into a bottomless pit full of creepy crawlies. Worse yet, the local army of alien bugs is commanded by a powerful alien creature who uses telepathy to mess with our heroes.

On the other side of the labyrinth, two Brainioid super-soldiers are sent on a mission to seek and destroy an ancient enemy. Are Chip ‘n Clawz just a bonus target, or can the four heroes find a way to team up against the common threat?

A BRAND NEW CAMPAIGN

  • 11 new missions to conquer: a side-campaign with its own story and gameplay twists.

  • New faction: nasty alien bugs come with their own buildings, armies, and strategies.

  • New places to visit: the subterranean cave system comes with unique mechanics and visuals.

  • Area Control missions: the objective that’ll make you rethink all your tactics.

  • Play as the Brainioids and see the world from their point of view.

SO MUCH NEW CONTENT

  • 7 new enemy types will claw, bite, and explode in your face. They also build bases!

  • The Overseer, a powerful telepathic alien, is the nastiest boss Chip ‘n Clawz have faced to date!

  • 2 new guns, 4 new HQ Mods, and complete new comic book & info card collections.

  • The Rust and Charm statuses will make you go “outch” and “oooh”, respectively.

  • 3 new PvP+Skirmish maps available to all players.

MIX ‘N MATCH

  • Beating story mission 5: “Stating the Blobb-vious” unlocks the new content. You can experience it stand-alone or between missions of the main campaign.

  • All progress carries over: use your new toys in all your favorite levels.

  • All DLC content that affects PvP and Skirmish (new weapons, HQ Mods, etc.) is available for free to all players!

Chip n' Claws vs. The Brainioids is a fun mashup of RTS and action gameplay. It does have a fun gameplay loop, though it can be a bit overwhelming.

Worth Playing

by Cody Medellin

7.5 / 10

Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainioids is a fine game overall. Despite some control issues with the strategy portions, the mixture of third-person action with RTS elements works thanks to the approach of simplicity over complexity. The campaign lasts for a decent amount of time, with collectibles and the quest for a five-star rating giving you a reason to replay the stages. Versus mode works fine, while the addition of split-screen play gives the game some legs if you're having a tough time finding anyone to play with online. Chip 'n Clawz has a few quirks, but it is a fun experience for those looking for a title that's a little more involved than running and bashing in small arenas.

7 / 10

Chips 'n Clawz vs. The Brainioids has big ideas for the strategy genre, but it doesn't quite pull it off. I still think it's worth playing if you're interested in an easily digestible, save-the-world-from-aliens strategy romp.
