It’s up to the Ghostbusters to save the day!

The Ghostbusters team is a powerful balanced group, and is good against pirate and Ninjago foes, and is especially strong against spooky foes too! Make sure to collect your crew to take on a variety of intimidating foes!

Prepare for Battle as Ziggurat Interactive Launches the Action-Packed Strategy Series Krush Kill ‘N Destroy on Steam

Meet Mutants…and Destroy Them in the Return of the Revered  RTS Series, Now Available on Steam from Publisher Ziggurat
 
DENVER, COLORADO (July 23, 2020) Ziggurat Interactive, publisher of multiplatform retro and modern games, announced today the launch of the popular 90’s era real-time strategy titles, Krush Kill ‘N Destroy (KKnD) and Krush Kill ‘N Destroy 2: Krossfire on Steam for the first time. Featuring intense battles between humans, mutants, and robots, the KKnD series is all about blistering battlefield action, combined with strategic decision making, as you field armies of metal, man, and monstrosity to claim what’s yours!
 
“The KKnD series is a hallmark of the golden age of RTS titles, and we’re overjoyed to now make it available to a wider audience via Steam,” said Michael Devine, SVP of Business Development at Ziggurat Interactive. “Expanding the availability of KKnD is just the beginning of a complete reintroduction of this wonderful franchise.”
 
Developed by Beam Software, Krush Kill ‘N Destroy is a post-nuclear-apocalypse real-time strategy series where players battle among three factions — human “Survivors”, “Evolved” mutants, and the “Series 9” intelligent machines — for dominance. Secure oil-rich sites, then use that oil as currency for building research labs, defensive emplacements, factories, barracks, and everything else needed for a functioning futuristic fighting force, then annihilate all who oppose you!
 
Hailed for its challenging and clever enemy A.I., KKnD is also remembered for its “Mad Max” style take on the RTS genre. While many RTS titles of the ’90s — arguably the genre’s golden age — focused on nothing more than simple multiplayer “build an army, then smash your enemy’s base”, KKnD added depth by offering a variety of missions for single-player play, including convoy escorts and search-and-rescue missions. Along with these improvements to the genre, KKnD also proved its uniqueness by expanding on the genre-staple unit types, adding in both mechanical and the monstrous options for dominating the battlefield. While other games stuck to the familiar “tanks, trucks, and turrets”, KKnD had players fielding giant scorpions, armored elephants, and missile crabs, along with the traditional tank and turret units.
 
Krush Kill ‘N Destroy and Krush Kill ‘N Destroy 2: Krossfire are now available for Windows PC via Steam and GOG.

More info about Ziggurat Interactive, its current lineup, and upcoming announcements is available on Facebook, Twitter,  and the company’s official website, with info on their upcoming products to be announced on the same.

About Ziggurat Interactive
 
Ziggurat Interactive was launched in late 2019 with the goal of preserving and expanding the legacy of video games. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Ziggurat creates and celebrates games — expanding the audience for both retro and new titles by making them accessible to all types of players across multiple platforms.
