About this game

Research and Destroy is a turn-based action game with simultaneous local or online co-op. Take control of three brilliant scientists as you research and develop strange new weapons and gadgets to destroy the Supernatural hordes that have all but crushed humanity!

Pros & Cons

Pros

Combines turn-based planning with real-time shooting.
Encounters support experimentation with unusual weapons and research upgrades.
Cooperative play centers on coordinating multiple eccentric scientists.
Comic-book art direction supports a deliberately silly tone.
Destructible environments enable physics-based combat interactions.

Cons

Missions and campaign activities repeat similar structures.
World-map and research management have less depth than battles.
Campaign progression requires repeated battles to unlock research.
Aiming, movement, and camera controls can be awkward during timed turns.
