Team Buddies, a PlayStation-only real-time strategy game from 25 years ago, just received a Steam listing for a full remaster. It looks like this cult classic has returned from the grave with online multiplayer, updated graphics, and all the chaotic fun you remember.
Team Buddies isnât like most RTS games from the era. You might think about Command & Conquer or Starcraft, but a couch co-op game about stacking crates? Thatâs a little more out there. Despite the sound of it, Team Buddies has a lot more depth than you might first think.
You start each level with a group of warriors. On their own, they arenât much of a threat, but as you stack and combine crates, you can craft various weapons, spawn more troops, or even build a tank. The way you combine crates, whether vertically, in a flat square, or in a cube of eight, will yield different results each time.
Players will be able to choose between classic or remastered graphics, depending on preference. Fair warning: the game does look rather dated, with graphics that bring some of the early 3DÂ Bomberman games to mind, so more modern graphics may be the way to go unless youâre after a dose of nostalgia.

The New Reborn Mode is an online-only, all-new experience thatâs set to have much larger maps, more weapons, and âeven more frenetic combat.â And of course, the remaster will come with achievements and trophies, as well as improved enemy AI.
This new version of Team Buddies doesnât have a release date outside of âcoming soonâ or an estimated price, but itâs appearance is nothing short of surprising â and honestly, itâs kind of nice to get a remaster of a much more obscure title than yet another Nintendo remake.
