[h1]Commander Bug Wars[/h1] [i]«Говорят, что человек человеку — волк. Здесь человек человеку — жук. Причем кибернетический, с лазерной пушкой и желанием превратить вашу пехоту в консервы.»[/i] 🐛🤖 [quote][i]Всем привет. Автор не несет ответственности за причиненный вред своими обзорами. Любое сходство с другими обзорами случайно. Данный обзор является лишь мнением автора и вы можете всегда оставаться при своем мнении! Спасибо за понимание и приятной игры![/i][/quote] [h2]📜Описание[/h2] [b]Commander Bug Wars[/b] — это пошаговая стратегия, которая отвечает на главный вопрос современности: кто круче — люди с танками или гигантские тараканы с кибернетическими имплантами? Ответ выясняется в жестоких битвах на квадратиках местности, где каждый ваш ход может стать последним. Выбирайте сторону людей (скучно, надежно) или жуков (весело, непредсказуемо) и вперед — захватывать стратегические точки, давить врага числом и умением, а также наблюдать, как ваша пехота горит синим пламенем от атак насекомых-камикадзе. Игра вышла в 2024 году, но с таким успехом могла бы выйти и в 2004 — и это не баг, а фича для ностальгирующих. [h2]🎨Графика и звук[/h2] Визуально игра напоминает раскрашенную карту военных действий, которую вы чертили на листочке в школе, только теперь она шевелится и стреляет. Графика здесь настолько минималистична, что её отсутствие можно считать художественным приемом. Юниты похожи на разноцветные фишки, а взрывы выглядят так, будто их рисовали в Paint под звуки старого модема. Но в этом есть своя прелесть: игра грузится мгновенно, работает даже на холодильнике с Wi-Fi, и вы никогда не перепутаете танк с муравьем — муравей хотя бы шевелит усами. Звуки выстрелов и взрывов бодрят ровно настолько, чтобы вы не уснули во время хода противника. [h2]🎮Геймплей[/h2] Перед нами классическая пошаговая стратегия в духе старых добрых Advance Wars . Вы ходите — враг думает. Враг ходит — вы материтесь. Всё честно. В вашем распоряжении пехота, танки, самолеты и корабли, каждый со своими плюсами и минусами. На карте разбросаны стратегические точки, которые нужно захватывать, чтобы ресурсы текли рекой. Местность влияет на исход боя: в лесу удобно прятать засаду, на холме — обороняться, а в городе — терять танки от гранатометчиков, засевших в подворотнях. Есть редактор карт, так что вы можете нарисовать собственное поле боя и позвать до семи друзей, чтобы устроить геноцид во имя победы. Правда, друзья должны быть либо такими же гиками, либо очень преданными. [h2]📖Сюжет и атмосфера[/h2] Сюжет здесь прост, как меню столовой: люди против жуков. Никаких тебе сложных интриг, предательств и неожиданных поворотов. Просто бери пушку и иди мочить насекомых. Но есть нюанс: жуки — кибернетические, то есть они не только кусаются, но и стреляют. Атмосфера игры — это чистая вода «Звездного десанта», только без Дени Ричардс в купальнике. Вы реально чувствуете себя командиром, который отправляет солдат на верную смерть, приговаривая: «Зато у нас есть танки». Сначала миссии кажутся скучными и оборонительными, как очередь в поликлинику, но потом сложность взлетает до небес, и вы начинаете просчитывать каждый ход, как шахматист на стероидах. [h2]✅Плюсы:[/h2] [list] [*] ⭐ Настоящая пошаговая стратегия. Никакой суеты в реальном времени — только холодный расчет и горячий чай. [*] ⭐ Редактор карт. Чувствуете себя демиургом, способным создать рай для танков или ад для пехоты. [*] ⭐ Мультиплеер до 8 человек. Можно собрать друзей и выяснить, кто из них настоящий стратег, а кто просто кликает рандомно. [*] ⭐ Цена. Игра стоит копейки, а удовольствия — на вечер ностальгии. [*] ⭐ Присутствие системы достижений для истинных коллекционеров прекрасного. [/list] [h2]❌Минусы:[/h2] [list] [*] ⚠️ Графика. Если вы привыкли к фотореализму и трассировке лучей, это зрелище может вызвать кровотечение из глаз. [*] ⚠️ Отсутствие сюжета. Любителям глубоких историй здесь делать нечего — только стрельба и захват точек. [*] ⚠️ Интерфейс. Местами он напоминает будильник 90-х: всё работает, но чтобы понять как, нужно прочитать инструкцию. [*] ⚠️ Мало игроков. В мультиплеере придется либо звать друзей, либо играть с ботом, который иногда тупит сильнее, чем новобранец на плацу. [*] ⚠️ Отсутствуют дополнительные материалы в Steam вроде обоев или карточек. [/list] [h2]😈Заключение:[/h2] [b]“Commander Bug Wars”[/b] — это игра для тех, кто скучает по временам, когда стратегии не требовали мощного ПК и сотни часов на изучение гайдов. Здесь всё честно: вы, враг и клетчатое поле боя. Если вы готовы простить игре устаревшую графику и отсутствие голливудского сюжета, вас ждет тёплый ламповый вечер с тактическими баталиями. И помните: хороший командир тот, у кого после боя осталось хотя бы два солдата. Или один, но очень злой.

----- 7/10 ----- Commander Bug Wars delivers a robust turn-based strategy experience with party-based combat, faction-specific units, and a variety of strategic options for each type of unit. Players capture locations for resources, recruit at bases, and command human and bug units in tactical combat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE GOOD: - Wide selection of diverse, specialized units with unique abilities - Strategic, turn-based combat that rewards planning and tactical foresight - Nice retro visuals that complement the sci-fi setting - Commander Abilities, special power that can be used both for Terran and Bugs - Death animations and effects are well-executed, adding to the immersion - Cool map editor easy to work with THE BAD: - Some units could feel overpowered or underutilized, requires some balance adjustments - Combat can be lengthy at times, especially in large-scale battle maps - AI is good enough but occasionally makes questionable moves - Can battle up tp 8 players but there is not a single 8 player map, you have to go to the map editor you make one for your self
a fun strategy game where humans battle against bugs with improvements. The gameplay is all about tactics, making you think through your moves to outsmart the enemy. You control units like Marines, tanks, and aircraft, while the bugs bring a variety creatures too. A definitive improve from the series, cool to play as well, almost each unit from each faction as a special ability from the normal move/attack functions. 8/10
Commander bug wars The bug they're inside us in their heads they scream like a hippie under the surface they are us watching us in the dark pecking at the hollow ground https://youtu.be/ZYdy3kJBrKs?si=wzU3KI3ukTp7mYOR Across the endless sands we roamed, In a world of dust we called our home. As boys we fought, yet grew as men, With hearts of fire and wills of iron. Against Satan's legions, fierce and strong, The insects swarmed, a ceaseless throng. With sharpened stones, we took our stand, And spilled our blood upon the land. Oh, sands of shadows, winds that wail, Tell of battles fierce and frail. We bled and fought as spirits torn, In a desert vast, our souls reborn. But battles etched their mark too deep, In dreams they crept, disturbed our sleep. In shadows dark, we heard their tread, And felt them crawling in our heads. The bugs had burrowed in our minds, In twisted paths, through fear's confines. We scratched and clawed, yet could not flee, For they lived in us, our memory. Oh, sands of shadows, winds that wail, Tell of battles fierce and frail. We bled and fought as spirits torn, In a desert vast, our souls reborn. One friend, brave Luca, pale with fright, He felt them stirring late that night. In haunted whispers, eyes gone wild, The desert claimed him, fierce and riled. Though he walked with us, his spirit stayed, In dust and shadow, silently laid. The sands had taken part of him, Buried deep, beneath the brim. They feasted on our blood and tears, Those creeping things that thrived on fear. The bites ran red along our skin, A silent war that raged within. We’d laugh it off to keep our pride, But the desert knew what we tried to hide. Each step we took, it called us back, Its voice a whisper, cold and black. Oh, sands of shadows, winds that wail, Tell of battles fierce and frail. We bled and fought as spirits torn, In a desert vast, our souls reborn. Now they lie beneath the dust, My friends, in earth, their bodies trust. But I walk on, still haunted by The memories of that burning sky. And when the night is dark and still, I feel them whisper, feel the chill. The desert waits, my blood to claim, And call me softly by my name. Oh, sands of shadows, winds that wail, Tell of battles fierce and frail. We bled and fought as spirits torn, In a desert vast, our souls reborn. No where to sleep, like afganistan a grave is my bed, a hole in the ground, and a bug comes crawling in we go crawling home in pitch black with purple camo
Well it's a pretty fun little game. But I think it's too simple. No research features, we just simply save enough credits to recruit units, or to get other features, benefits, abilities. There's currently no multiplayer mode but I read the game's user-defined tags for having "PVP" on it. Meanwhile we can only play scenarios and campaigns for now. But personally it's not enough. I bought the game for it being easy to learn but also for multiplayers. I don't know if there's gonna be an update for it in the future, I don't know how long it will take for the developer(s) to announce that. If there's no multiplayer mode being planned, then I might as well refund it. But then again I will have to wait.
Definitely recommended for fans of turn-based tactics and Advance Wars -style battles. Simple but well designed and fun. I would also recommend checking out The Last Spell, Into the Breach, and Wargroove. +Turn-based tactics +Advance Wars style +Voice quips +Variety of units for each faction +Human and Bug campaigns +Art style +Variety of missions -Lacking story -Pacing, some missions are 40+ turns -Enemy reinforcement spam -Screen tearing / no vsync -Enemies can appear even without bases
I enjoyed playing a few scenarios, and I see it's still being developed since the campaign mode isn't available yet. The core game is solid and shows a lot of potential. This game is surprisingly impressive under 10 bucks
pretty fun game, fans of advance wars will love it, units have abilities aside from their normal attacks, i'll keep for future updates.
Update: Support Team reached out via Discord and offered assistance. Their assistance resolved the issue and the game appears to be working now. I will leave this as a positive review and update once I have some game experience. The issue was that I had a game controller plugged in and this caused the game to not respond to keyboard inputs. Unplugging the controller and restarting the app resolved the issue. Disclaimer: I'm a Linux user, my experience might not be yours. Downloaded the Linux native game, launched it and the greeting message won't close. Game unplayable Downloaded the Windows version and ran with multiple Proton layers. Same problem. Downloaded it to a different storage drive and tried Windows and Linux version, same problem. Went to publishers discord and left message, previous user messaged their discord over a year ago and never heard back. I've requested a refund. Unfortunate as I was really looking forward to playing this game.
It's alright, pretty much a straightforward Advance Wars kind of game. I paid $4 for it and so far I think that's about what it's worth. Played a few missions so far, and it's kind of easy on the normal difficulty. Resources are barely a constraint at all. Might change later in the campaign, not sure. The first couple missions (excluding the tutorial) are defense missions, which I think was a poor decision since it ends up being a lot of passing turns and waiting for the map to tell you you're done - not the best introduction to the game, imo. EDIT: Switched to thumbs down. It was already on the border of neutral, and in hindsight the fact that I couldn't motivate myself to finish it tells me that I don't want to give it a thumbs up, at least until I get around to playing it again.
