8-Bit Hordes 8/10 The base gameplay in Hordes is the same as the rest of Petroglyph's "8-bit" line, so expect to play something that feels loosely like Command and Conquer, but this time with a bit of WarCraft mixed in. Unfortunately a lot of the issues with pathfinding, destroying terrain, workers going insane, etc, do persist as well. The positives also carry over. For a lower budget game, the micro in more open spaces works fine, hotkeying through big deathballs works well, and the C&C type UI is extremely intuitive, especially for newer players. The campaign takes place after 8-Bit armies, and has some of the same drawbacks(lack of production value, no real story, no cutscenes, but there are a lot of scenarios to play through, and trying for 3 stars on all the missions is pretty engaging, and gave me good reason to go back and retry earlier levels. The benefits from 3 staring the missions are ridiculously overpowering, however, for some missions like the finale of the Lightbringer(humans) campaign, it's probably worth it. If you're newer to RTS games, I would like to note that there isn't really a perceptible difference between normal and hard difficulty. Getting bronze on mos…8 found this helpful
only buy it if you don't own the others 8-bits. This is a full copy paste of the others. Why the orcs are in a wagon to go to the mine? Why can't they push it? why is it not Goblins going? Defo a lack on immagination on this one.4 found this helpful
