What is FATAL ERROR - RTS?
This top-down, single-player RTS is in Early Access. You control an anti-virus construct defending the Mainframe, building bases, commanding units, and advancing through research trees in a story campaign or skirmish battles. Skirmishes let you adjust AI difficulty and team composition, and a map editor lets you create custom battlefields.
