Shannon Tweed's Attack of the Groupies

About

Shannon Tweed's Attack of the Groupies is a real-time strategy game where you defend a series of wild scenarios from hordes of, uh, enthusiastic fans. As the titular character you build bases manage resources and deploy troops to fend off waves of groupies each with their own absurd traits and attack styles. The gameplay leans into 90s-era RTS mechanics with a focus on rapid base expansion and unit micro but wraps it in a script that’s equal parts satire and soap opera. The game stands out for its campy charm and unapologetic 90s nostalgia. Despite a 2014 release date it feels like a relic from the mid-90s with pixelated graphics and a plot that leans hard into dated humor. Metacritic aggregates a 72 based on mixed but curious reviews while retro gaming forums often highlight it as a cult curiosity. Fans remember the over-the-top scenarios and Tweed’s deadpan reactions to explosions more than the strategy depth. A quirky footnote in RTS history for those who miss the era when games didn’t take themselves too seriously.
