The RTS genre isn't in particularly rude health at the moment, so it would be nice if Pocketwatch Games' Tooth and Tail could give it a bit of a shot in the arm. You're probably aware that it's from the developers of Monaco, and takes the form of a "distilled" real-time strategy game featuring cute/murderous little animals, like out of Redwall. Tom Marks got to play some of its single-player campaign back in March, so head here if you're interested in how the "Mario Kart of RTSes" plays.
Tooth and Tail now has a release date, September 12, along with a new trailer that explains that you'll be fighting for the fate of animalkind. And if you're expecting that the game will be all light-hearted and happy, because animals, I have some worrying news: the plot involves some dude's son being eaten in a 'harvest'. Blimey.
