Cortex Command vs Freaking Meatbags

In a distant future, humanity has amputated its bodies, leaving only brains that remotely pilot machines. As the brain of a fledgling gold‑mining company, you switch between expendable bodies, harvest resources, and build an army while staying safe in your bunker. The fully destructible terrain, programmable AI puppets, and split‑screen co‑op let you explore, fight, and out‑smart rivals on an alien planet, all delivered via the orbital TradeStar marketplace.

In Freaking Meatbags you play a low‑level cleaning robot tasked with harvesting precious materials across bizarre, futuristic planets before the solar system explodes. Daytime is spent building bases, collecting resources, and directing clueless humans, while nightfall brings relentless waves of hostile wild robots to fight. Mix DNA to create super‑human workers with powers like laser‑eye attacks, and use strategic upgrades to keep your outpost alive. The game blends shooter action with base‑management strategy in a quirky indie sci‑fi setting.
