Liquidation RTS

A spiritual successor to Warcraft III, with some Starcraft and DoW elements thrown in. There is no attempt made to hide the sources of inspiration: experienced WC III players would quickly recognize familiar abilities and units. While there is some jank to it and not much content (only 3 playable factions with 2-3 heroes each, no flying units, very limited items, no item shops/mercenary camps or other such points of interest, as well as fairly forgettable creeps) at the moment, so far Liquidation seems promising and in time may very well become the Warcraft IV we need.

Warcraft 3 meets Stacraft 2. Tiene mucho futuro por delante.

Honestly, I didn’t expect Liquidation to give me that old RTS feeling again. You know when you start a game thinking you’ll play for 20 minutes, and then suddenly it’s been two hours because you just wanted to finish one more attack? I’ve been getting a bit of that with this game. It’s still Early Access, so there are definitely some rough edges and things that need work. But I’m enjoying the actual gameplay a lot more than I expected. The factions don’t all feel the same, the units have some character to them, and fights aren’t just about making the biggest army possible and sending everything straight at the enemy. Positioning and actually using your units properly makes a difference. This is what I experienced in the very first moment of my gameplay :D If you used to play a lot of RTS games and miss that feeling of saying “one more game” and then staying up way too long, I’d say give Liquidation a try.

Updated review: If you're looking for a new RTS with a good multiplayer experience, this is not it. I came across the game the day before it released, and as a lifelong fan of RTS games (AoE 2, C&C, Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2), I was instantly drawn in by the visuals. Playing through the campaign, I've thoroughly enjoyed the missions and believe that the single player experience is well worth the price. The game play was smooth, and I was impressed that the game worked so flawlessly on my distro. The only bug I encountered was when running an optimization script, the control groups stopped working in game. As for the multiplayer, this is my only disappointment with the game. It doesn't feel like it qualifies as a RTS. The starting banked resources are so excessively high, coupled with the 1v1 maps being so small, it leaves little room for actual strategy to happen. There's hardly any opportunity to kill more than 1 or 2 groups of neutral mobs (let alone tech up), before you're getting all-in'd, which happens within the first 2-5 minutes. TLDR: Single player - 8/10 Multiplayer - 0/10

Fun RTS, WC3 meets DOW vibes. Cool factions, nice readability and varied designs between them keep things easy to parse. I had playtested in the past but left that group, it's nice to see what had changed since. Excited to see more! <3

Спасибо большое за игру! Флешбеки по варику 3, для инди проекта сделано очень добротно. Варик 3 с модельками под старкрафт ) Дух варика разраб постарался передать. Из того что хотелось бы улучшить: - маршруты юнитов - индикацию в миникарте и звуки(не понятно когда тебе базу атакуют) - интерфейс - не очевидно сколько опыта нужно героям до уровня

Insanely promising RTS, especially for us oldies who remember WC3 Ladder. This can only get better, I can tell.
