PERIMETER: Legate Edition

Oh wow, did this bring back some memories. I'm only 4 missions in but it's exactly like I remember it - I worked on this at Codies in the QA team that was assigned to it all the way back in early 2004 - 6 months of my life was spent on this. Good times! Still have the copy given to me when it went Gold somewhere. As an avid RTS fan at the time, I lapped this up. Such a unique take on the genre. The storyline is a bit wacky but you get the idea of things pretty quickly and the ability to react to what the game throws at you by switching your units by morphing them was such a niche idea - it works really well.

Amazing game. Holds up super well in 2026, really unique. This version ships with a translation mod installed that subtitles the russian script to english, with some somewhat different plot elements from the dubbed version. Personally, I prefer the version of the story that came in the dubbed version, so I'd recommend disabling the mod. They're not that different, I just think the english version flows a lot better and cleaned up some plot holes.

It's an interesting game. Real sleeper when released.

Still a cool concept and plays well.

Developed by K-D Lab and published by Association K-D Lab, PERIMETER: Legate Edition revives one of the most inventive real-time strategy games ever created, bringing its distinctive mechanics to modern platforms while preserving the identity that earned it a loyal following. Rather than following the familiar formula of gathering resources and producing increasingly larger armies, the game challenges players to think differently by placing the landscape itself at the center of every battle. This fresh design philosophy gives the experience a timeless quality, proving that innovation can leave a lasting impression even years after a game's original release. The gameplay revolves around terraforming, allowing players to reshape the battlefield to expand their influence and improve energy production. Raising land, flattening hills, and transforming terrain are not simply visual effects but essential strategic tools that determine how efficiently an empire functions. Every alteration affects resource generation, defensive positions, and future expansion, encouraging careful planning instead of rapid decision-making. This unique mechanic ensures that each match develops differently, r…

Good remaster for a good unique game. Updated to modern systems, bugfixes, balance tweaks, online multiplayer, and English version is not butchered, as it was previously, so story is finally intelligible for English-speaking people. Still holds up and worth playing in 2026, though an AI is lacking, and some campaign missions are just tedious and long because of their mechanics or AI. Also would be nice to get some UX improvements
