I was really hoping for something good. And for the most part, I got it. However, the poor voice acting ruined it for me, and I couldn't bring myself to play anymore of it. No inflection whatsoever.. Amazing game! Brings me back to the tiberium sun games. Must buy!!. now that the bug is fixed . the game is pretty good . its one of my childhood fav's . eventhough there are many rts out there there are few unique ones . and this one stands out with respect to base building , resource management and squad system , it has its own learning curve and easy at that to . the base connection system makes the game have important skirmishes and area control fights . pros- even though 2d the graphics are pretty good - base and resource management- unique and interesting races cons - the story has a lot of broken parts (non continuous , could not understand) and lore is kinda non existing - path finding and managing units is kinda annoying sometimes - needs balancing to airforce and some units (stalkers) (and fedral airforce kinda sucks {stupid hawks} )- the terrain management is kinda bad . there is little height advantage like range or blocking incoming fire or fog of war on cliffs ( this kinda annoys in campain )but its an old game and overall its fun and new experience and worth the buy previous -ve review :- what kind of stupid game is this .. stupid bugs all over .. units start to die when you select them .... and when you search for a solution on the internet ... they say your game is non ligit .. well i didnt not know steam sold nonligit games too .... Cat herding simulator 2014. Unless you like struggling with the worst unit selection tools, and the worst pathfinding I have seen in any RTS then avoid this like the plague.Single Player Campaign:- The storyline is as clever as a brick. - The characters are all shallow and detestable. - The voice acting is poor, as is the script. - The cliches are so thick it is difficult to wade through them. - It feels as much "on rails" as RTS. - The cat simulator makes the experience slightly less fun than working unpaid overtime.+ Graphics are simple but appropriate, adequate, and atmospheric.+ Music and sound effects are also fine.. The best thing about this game is that it looks beautiful. It has some awesome sprites and isometric perspective. Races are balanced as far as I can tell, and there is much diversity between them so they don't feel the same and have different play styles. Biggest problems are occasional small bugs (in campaign you sometimes need to load game because enemies become invulnerable, or sometimes objectives complete prematurely) and the fact that sometimes units do not move as you have ordered (walk into enemy range etc), especially air units, which sometimes fly few circles around enemies they are supposed to attack, and take heavy damage from anti air. Overall I very much like the game, although i only played the campaign, which is interesting but with a few very strange difficulty spikes. Story is told in comic book like drawings, and you need to do some mental gymnastics to get it.. This game was very cool for its era, nice to see again in steam. ^^+Story very cool and very long.+Each three Race have different playstyle and abillities and units.+Game resources really nice.+Game maps really cool.+AI playing good.+No any bug in game.+This game completed in many years.. I don't know how I overlooked this gem. It brings back fond memories of games like 'Commmand and Conquer' and 'Supreme Commander' and you know what? It's just as good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV1ow5iZhs8This is a return to the roots of real-time strategy, providing beautiful 2D visuals combined with all the features that we came to expect from old school classics. This remastered and continually improved version is a culmination of features requested by the community. - Highly Recommended!. First off, I just want to give a big shoutout to the people involved in the making of this game, it's quite amazing for such a small team, the graphics, the sound, the units, it all feels professional and like a high quality indie game. However there are a lot of small bugs.A bit of a detailed explanation of the specificities of the game compared to other RTS I know:+All units have 2 modes that can be switched without cooldowns (for example heavy infantry can switch between rocket launchers or mortars) it can also switch between anti-air to support heals and so on, however the alternate mode must be researched first in the research lab+There are 4 ressource types, 1 is the base ressource widespread all around the map, easy to find, the 2 next are more rare but still common and each associated with a different type of units, vehicles or air units, with some subtleties depending on each faction, and the last one called Iberium rods, is very rare and allows to research powerful endgame techs and units.+The game sports a unique system of power line via a complex network of electric towers required to have buildings work. But theres also a big lack of polish on the core mechanics that make a good RTS good.-First of all pathfinding, oh my goodness .. regardless how good your micro is, you will encounter units doing the opposite of what you ask, that's the way it is in this game, deal with it... either going the opposite direction, attacking other targets, ignoring orders and quite frequently.-Selection tool, Basically the selection dynamically creates groups of 25 units max of the same type and move them automatically in formation, so while it may sound like a neat feature to sort units into groups quickly, in practice, combined with the poor pathfinding, it makes selecting the right units without moving the others quite a nightmare forcing you to use the alternate selection mode (basically the regular selection method but you must hold MAJ and lose accesss to custom formation when holding right click). The selection tool has I think unecessary innovations or perhaps just poorly implemented ones that it add unecessary micro for no real benefit.-Units collision, another aspect of pathfinding here that is problematic, there is some degree of unit collision which tries to prevent several units from clipping into each other but here it is set way too high and prevents from positioning units where you want to and creates more unnecessary micro management plus a sense of not being in control of your units.(Particularly so in this mission where you need to avoid areas of lethal gaseous clouds but your infantry just keeps happily jumping into it).-Putting infantry in an air transport, again, this seems very specific, but it happens a lot in the campain and seems highly bugged, sometimes happening instantly teleporting all units at once into the vehicle, sometimes taking forever because some units is stuck somewhere, sometimes seeming to be done but all units pop out of the transport when it takes off, etc... in short, it's clunky, as is the way air transport land by the way, sometimes they circle around 3 times while getting hit before deciding to land, sometimes they land directly but no where you want, sometimes they take off just when you select several of them because of the automatic formation thing, etc...So overall its a original game with a lot of hidden depth, and neat 2D art that I think looks stunning. I just hope there will be some sort of quality of life patch because there is definitely a game with a lot of potential spoiled by minor issues here, good intensions and good ideas but also perhapsa lack of polish on the core mechanics like simply moving units around is often either overly complicated or a bit bugged.As for the multiplayer unfortunately there is nobody left to play with online anymore. However the solo campain is fulfilling on its own, it's long and varied enough and does a good job at teaching the game various mechanics, I just wish the story was maybe a tad bit more original like the gameplay is, but it does the job.It's a mixed bag, I personally enjoyed it quite a bit (and I only made 1 of the 3 campains!) but be aware of the issues I mentioned before you set on buying it.
