Land on a planet, pick up some rocks, leave before the solar system explodes. Oh, and don't die in the nightly robot attacks! Freaking Meatbags is a humorous real-time strategy game that's all about building a base, mixing meatbag DNA, then convincing those dolts to help you gather resources.
Jack of Gamemoir explains that Freaking Meatbags manages to keep you smiling and is full of potential but it is not without any flaws.
It’s the humans, and what you can do with them, that makes Freaking Meatbags shine.
Technology Tell review, "Freaking Meatbags couldn’t even put on matching socks—it grabbed one from the real-time strategy drawer and the other from the tower-defense bin—so it’s no surprise that its story is helter-skelter as can be. Chip the janitorial robot, reprimanded for arriving .03 seconds late for work, is sent off to a dying galaxy to hoover up all the shiny rocks he can find and, if he can consider possibly getting around to it, preserve some of the squishy things that insist on lollygagging about."
