URG Review – Utopos Rocketship Game

URG (formerly known as Gun Tech) is the latest title to come out of closed beta and hit the Steam store by Jani Penttinen. Penttinen is known for a release very similar to URG many moons ago. That game is Utopos and was released for the Atari ST in 1993. On researching more into Penttinen and Utopos Publishing, it also looks like there is a re-make of Utopos in the works. This is currently in closed beta, so we don't have much to go from. However, it looks very similar to URG. Utopos Rocketship Game - Set Radars To On Top-down shooters can be great games, the last one I played was Steambirds Alliance. I was hooked, so I am excited to see how URG plays out and who knows? I might even have to revisit the Atari ST, I am pretty sure someone I know has one! If you have already played URG I wo...
