Divinity: Dragon Commander

Yeeaaaah, I’ve played this game very little, so take what I say with a grain of salt. From my limited experience, this game ain't all that great. It’s got a very weird mesh of ideas that I feel really don’t work that well. Individually that is. On one side, it’s a political choice game On another, it’s a weird planning game And finally, its also a RTS game Now, the political choice part is alright. The planning table stuff is rather meh. Its not particularly bad, it’s just not particularly good. Its almost like it was added in as filler. And finally there’s the RTS aspect, which despite being the most interesting part, is arguably the worst. You see, the “Strategy” part of a real time strategy game doesn’t really work, when the IA has unlimited resources. Because the strategy is then always the same. “Rush or loose”. Quite literally, the longer you drag a RTS section out the bigger your disadvantage, your eventually gonna run out of units and the AI is just gonna keep producing new ones. Ill admit, I picked up this game because I saw a playable dragon with a jet pack, and honestly, if that was all there was this would probably be one of my favorite games, because the idea of that is awesome. Now, even with that aside, just going into the game for all it is, unfortunately, its not that good. On its individual departments of gameplay, its either ok, bland, or straight up bad depending on what you’re looking at.

Unique game with interesting characters and decisions, and a casual strategy game inbetween. It's a shame so many people have technical issues with it because there's something great buried underneath

Могла бы получиться неплохой визуальной новеллой с элементами стратегии в интересном сеттинге вселенной Divinity. Но УВЫ— получился наглядный пример того, почему жанр стратегий и RTS вымирает. Хотел пройти ради истории, но даже лёгкий уровень сложности не спасает от всей духоты.

I like concept of this game but the actually strategy element is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring which is a terrible thing for an RTS. The RTS part is so bloody boring due to the A.I only having 1 strategy of sending all their forces to attack you could easily win if you just wait until they waste all their population or they're such ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because they tech up faster than you can, leaving you in the dust. The dragon form is alright at early levels but just falls flat after like the 2nd chapter. I do like the decision choices you can do but they're all just side with 1 side or the other with no meeting in the middle.

i really wish the RTS part of the game was more in depth, at least that it had more maps. Really though this game is a neat fantasy themed political RPG and a clever little satire of western politics and there are so many options. Each choice is worth its own playthough which is also neat because it walks you though cause& effect of policies all anaglous to currwnt day arguments.

Исследую игры лариан до дивинити и балдурс гейта, видно что креатива ит оригинального подхода у студии всегда было с лихвой. Игра интересное и нетипичное сочетание сюжетной РПГ и РТС. Прошел один раз. Полностью доволен.

Fantastic game. RTS and Macro army management is simple, rewarding caution and aggression when you can. You can spam units to try to cheese, but the AI will try to encircle you. The AI is a bit dumb, but will balance it out by exploiting uneven armies. But the dragon is awesome. Basically, you have a dragon with limited ability to move and manage troops, in exchange for the potential to decimate unprotected units by destroying and/or charming them. The game gives lots of options. The store is cool, being the unknown child of the Emperor, who must save the Empire from his despot siblings. Unfortunately, they get no screen time, but that is saved by the companions you get. And your wife. Oh yeah, you get hitched fairly early, which, like the rest of the choices you make, can alter the difficulty. Who you marry, what laws you choose, all interact with what support you receive from the populace. But forget how that affects the game, follow your heart! So what if the Elf is pretty, you got a faithful skeleton suitor, no necro, and a short stack dwarf in line. No Imps though.
