Hearts of Greed is a commando-like RTS game in which you'll have to resist the attack of a hostile alien force. Use your select few hero units, your bases, turrets and upgrades to stand your ground and conquer enemy territory. During the day, press on, be agressive and try to defeat the enemy. However, once night comes... go back to your base and defend from the incoming attacks. It's not your time to shine.
Good Luck!
Disclaimer: play using headphones.
This project is made as a 2nd year assigment in Bachelor’s Degree in Video Games by UPC at CITM, Terrassa, under the supervision of lecturer Marc Garrigó.
Start the game by playing the tutorial. Next, use your heroes skillfully to conquer all enemy bases and win the game! You can unlock extra heroes by completing their rescue mission (keep an eye on the minimap!)
If all your heroes die, you will lose the game.
