“Band of Bugs is our flagship game and we have received numerous requests to develop it for other systems. We wanted to demonstrate our commitment to these fans as well as reach out to a new set of turn-based strategy players,” said Steve Taylor, president of Wahoo Studios. “Now PC gamers can enjoy the innovative gameplay in Band of Bugs without having to own a console.”

Gamers can play stand-alone missions and online multiplayer battles. The game also features an innovative map editor which allows players to unleash their creativity and design their own maps to play and share with their friends. The number of levels in the game is only limited by each player’s creativity.

Game Features:

-Choose to play through a story-based campaign, stand-alone missions or skirmishes.

_Story-based campaign_: Follow the adventures of Maal as he protects his kingdom from evil insect enemies with his select band of bug warriors.

_Stand-alone missions_: Each short battle includes a background story, individual goals and exclusive events.

_Skirmish_: Variety is the key in this game type: Choose a map, choose a mode (Elimination, Capture or Escape) and choose to control any party in the battle.

_Elimination_: The first team to lose every bug in one party loses the battle.
