What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Absolutely amazing 90's/early 2000's war simulator. also my first true RTS war game experience. Friend of mine recommended it and I am not disappointed.1 found this helpful
Great games from the noughties but broken on Steam. Can't even enter the serial number. Sick of Valve selling broken crap and having games supported on other platforms but not Steam. #BoycottSteam
One of the best games back in the day. I still replay it as an adult...
CD key doesn't work
Capped at 20 FPS, unplayable. 0/10
A good Retro RTS been playing this since i got the CD just recently found it in steam through luck would recommend if you dont mind the AI play a few janky moves:Like sometimes youre units go to the wrong way even if the path has room to pass, but otherwise its very fun and the map editing isnt that bad if you want to make a defence game.Sad the multiplayer is dead but the campaign is fun regardless.
