This game is extremely buggy and quite often it just shuts down, also autosave is getting stuck and not loading. Every time you enter new level in campaign, it is highly recommended to save it manually, because you will lose your progress because of already mentioned issues.

Runs as great as I remember. Fun RTS and I'm so happy this has been brought back for modern audiences. Is it a the greatest RTS ever? No, not at all. But it is still fun to play and brings back some great 90s/00s PC fun. Took me some trail and error to get to a decent screen size with my 4K monitor but it does work and play perfectly when it's set up. Stick with 4 x 3 and old school 800 x 600.

I used to play this game a lot as a kid and I was so happy to find it on Steam because it felt like a hidden gem. Unfortunately, I can't give this game am positive review because just getting it to work properly has been like pulling teeth. The game constantly crashes and freezes up my whole PC where I have to restart it because I can't access the task manager. You're forced to play the game at the lowest resolution in full screen, because non of the other resolutions work (including the windowed resolutions). I was able to complete the first level of the campaign, but after that it just stays on the "Mission Accomplished" screen and doesn't progress any further. It's a shame because this is a pretty solid RTS and I would recommend trying it out if it could actually run without these issues. I really hope that they're able to fix these problems, but the game isn't that well-known so I can't really have high hopes for that ever happening.

I played this game when it first came out, make you think about tactics and work hard but very enjoyable.

Solid top-down 3D RTS from back in the day. Very straight-forward, a bit awkward controls to get used to.' Played this a bunch back in the day, so my real play time is a ton of hours, and still have the CD somewhere. I had picked this up at the bargain bin I believe in the store back then for couple bucks. It looked interesting. Well, I was quite surprised. This is an old game, but the graphics aren't bad, it was somewhat eye-candy all those years ago. In those days Strategy First had a ton of games, particularly RTS they were pushing out from obscure indie developers but turned out to be gems most of the time. This was one of them. The Outforce tells a story about...well, who cares? I always played the Skirimish. The "campaign" wasn't that bad. Just the standard "start-out-small" and working way to new maps that are bigger with more. I just played Skirimish. You pick your side. I usually played as the Human-type one, I don't recall the name. In standard RTS faire, you have a main structure from you create the builder units. They can then build all the basic buildings, and the "advanced" version of the building unit that can build the more advanced structures. Anyone who has pl…

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
