Kernel Panic which is based on the free spring engine reminds us of "Total Annihilation" (1997) (Bullshit of course ( translator's comment) )
Its about creating big armies and defeating the opponent in tactical and strategical battles using differences in terrain.
In Kernel Panic the player is not commanding human units but three parties of a computer universe called hacker, systems, and network.
The classical resource gathering is not present but the speed at which facories spit out units is important since seldomly a games lasts longer than 10 minutes.
The game has a multiplayr modus, a tutorial with speech and some singleplayer missions.
The unuasal graphical style adds to the charme of the game.

RPS, really?

The force composition for Hax and System is really a choice between 2 units, anti swarm and anti-anti swarm. The 'income' consists of swarm.

Network has an even stranger situation with only 2 combat units. Though the Mobile Node has the ability to spawn extra DPS at a cost of resources.

Also, I didn't notice a massive influx of new kp players in the lobby.

System vs System and Network vs Network is pretty much RPS. Bit>Pointer>Byte>Bit, Packet>Connection>Flow>Packet.
Other matchups might resemble similar gameplay as RPS. System vs Network. Bit>Connection>Byte>Packet>Pointer>(Connection and Flow) While Flow>(Bit and byte)
Hacker vs Hacker is just Bugs and worms where DoS is kinda obsolete.

But those units aren't really part of direct force composition choice. You don't chose between a mix of 3 units. Instead you chose between 2 units and receive the 3rd from expansion. This makes it a bit different from RPS.
