Action-packed strategy with a comic book flair
From X-COM creator Julian Gollop, Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids mixes fast-paced action with strategic base-building. Earth is under attack by the Brainioids, alien invaders after the precious resource Brainium, and it’s up to young inventor Chip and his robotic cat Clawz to stop them.
Players will switch between direct combat and commanding armies in large-scale battles, managing bases, collecting resources, and upgrading their arsenal. The game features a vibrant, comic book-inspired world with a humorous story campaign and an array of quirky characters.

Whether teaming up or facing off, Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids brings plenty of multiplayer options:
- Two-player couch co-op – Team up to take on the Brainioid forces.
