Siegecraft Commander

It's a RTS where you can't save the game during a mission. That by itself is enough reason to stay away. Have to stop and return to the real world? Hosed. Have a bug that crashes the game, or it stops responding to the controls? Hosed. Aching neck because you're looking down at the board constantly? Suck it up, you can't take a break. It's awfully tedious. The mechanics make it very much a game of 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Losing a key building means you lose all its child buildings, so it's quite common to find yourself having to re-build a large section of your base over from scratch. Almost all of the difficulty comes from the real-time nature of the game. You can't really watch everywhere at once, so much of the game is shoring up defenses in one area, while hoping you don't lose too much in another while you're busy.

FUN RETRO STRATEGY GAME.

:D

i enjoyed this game. i did make a custom input binding for it, but i beat and liked it. there was the issue with campaign only. maybe theres a hard mode? idk, but it felt limited with no more custom type of option to just run a game, neverthe less it does have multiplayer so its only ai battles you cant do. all in all i recommend getting it on sale.
