KKND: Krush Kill ‘n Destroy

FMV cutscenes with very quirky humour? Check! Ridiculously over the top scenario? Check! Giant acid-squirting scorpions vs. six-wheeled flame thrower ATVs? Check!

In 1997, Beam Software released the first game in the KKnD series. Is it just an unimaginative Command & Conquer reskin clone? Or did it bring something unique to the then still young real-time strategy genre?

Joining hosts Martijn ("Tijn") and Florian ("rnlf") is club member Björn ("TigerQuoll").

This month our shoutout is slightly different, pointing you to a brilliant interview series that Caroline Delbert (medium.com/@cdelbert) did with game developers who entered their games into the 2022 Queer Games Bundle (itch.io/b/1404/queer-games-bundle-2022) over on itch.io. Nothing retro gaming related this time, but definitely worth checking out.

That's all for now. Enjoy!
