FATAL ERROR - RTS

Wow, this game is a pure Nostalgia trip in more ways than one! Fatal Error reminded me of one of those big box games that small independent computer stores used to sell back in the innovative, fast moving Golden Age of PC Gaming (1995-99). A game that would sit on the shelf for months, never being touched or considered because they weren't covered in PC Gamer or similar publication. That was until 13/14 year old me walked in with enough pocket money and bought these obscure games. 'Warbreeds' and 'Virus: The Game' being 2 notable games from memory. Fatal Error looks and plays exactly like one of these obscure games. It might not be pretty, but it's by no means a bad thing. It's great fun and isn't afraid to be what it is. The mechanics are solid and the AI is well done, especially in the campaign which has that classic challenging element. Some might call it cheating or just script heavy, which it probably is. But if you played games from the RTS Boom era, it just feels so right and you should give it a go too!

This is a great game, if you really like RTS games I would highly recommend this. The level designs are fantastic and the game-play is really great. It very fasted paced but it still great, the graphics really remind me of the old RTS games back then but it awesome. Sound design is great and the campaign so far is also really good. It still in early access but it defiantly worth getting as their are almost no bugs or any weird glitches. Highly recommend it

Bugs out in windowed mode on linux. Literally unplayable. Can't even get back to the settings menu to switch it back to fullscreen.

It has potential to be a decent RTS. That said, unit pathfinding is.... terrible. Sense of preservation is non-existant. And the AI will target high value units without fail, while your units cannot take an order without stopping whatever they are doing and pausing a bit. make the AI for my own units at least half as smart as the AI for enemy units and I'd maybe reccomend this. as it is, it's a total flop for me.

A really well-made RTS game. Don't be intimidated by the game's simple graphics, after playing it for just a bit I can tell you that the devs knew where and how to use their budget because the gameplay is excellent. Besides that, even though the previously mentioned graphics are rather simple they still do their job well, the overall presentation feels pretty retro but at the same time there are a few touches here and there which make the game feel fresh. All in all, a must-buy for RTS game enjoyers.

It's a solid real-time strategy game. The theme is original and unique. The gameplay is pretty fun. I have bought this game and played it for almost 3 hours now and I can tell that this game is very addicting and challenging. It's a fast-paced game. The controls are easily adaptable. It has a steep learning curve but it's very enjoyable when you get the hang of it. Highly recommend it to the RTS lovers out there!
