What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Original War is a classic real-time tactics game praised for its unique story, excellent voice acting, and memorable character-driven gameplay that stands out in the genre. However, players are sharply divided on the mission design, with some frustrated by heavy time constraints that force rushing through objectives rather than allowing thoughtful tactical play, while others find the campaign pacing acceptable despite the game's age.
Pros: awesome story, awesome retro graphics, awesome dialogues, it's created on Delphi 7 ) Cons: timers. Timers, TIMERS and MORE F..CKING TIMERS!!!

I just want to play in rts/tactic game, not a winning the race.5 found this helpful

With mods installed, you can even access additional content and campaigns. The difficulty isn't overwhelming, but some of the later missions can be quite challenging and may require multiple attempts, especially if, like me, you grow attached to your squad and hate losing any of them. There are also RPG elements. Your teammates have individual stats and can develop skills across four different specialization paths, which adds depth and makes every soldier feel valuable. If you can pick this game up during a sale, don't hesitate. It's …5 found this helpful
