Отличный аддон к отличной игре. Андрею Кузьмину - Светлая Память.
태어나서 스타보다 더 일찍 접한 RTS 좀 특이한 시스템에 징그럽고 요상한 컨셉때문에 이상하게 끌림 인구수 250은 너무 적은거같음
Очень халтурная игра,, требующая прохождения вангеров и оригинального периметра для понимания происходящего и концовки. Концовка слеплена из кусков катсцен из оригинальной игры и далеко не так эпична, как оригинальная. Лично я не рекомендовал бы покупать эту игру отдельно от обычного периметра, но если вы хотите купить бандл из двух игр может стать не очень приятным, но хоть каким то дополнением. Новые пушки невероятно сильны, миссии скучные и долгие, не рекомендую фанатам оригинальной игры

Abbastanza bello come gioco.
Yes.
Игра просто бомба
Perimeter: Emperor's Testament, developed by K-D Lab and published by Fulqrum Publishing, is a standalone expansion to the cult-classic RTS Perimeter, building upon one of the most unconventional real-time strategy foundations of the early 2000s. Rather than following the traditional formula of resource gathering, base spamming, and mass unit production, it refines and extends a system centered around energy networks, terrain manipulation, and perimeter defense. The result is a strategic experience that feels more like a territorial engineering puzzle layered over large-scale warfare than a standard RTS skirmish. The defining mechanic of Emperor’s Testament is its terraforming system. Instead of harvesting multiple resource types, players rely on a single resource—energy—which is generated and distributed through a network spread across flattened terrain. Terrain cannot simply be built upon; it must first be leveled using specialized units, and this reshaping process becomes a critical tactical element. Expanding territory is not just about claiming space, but about carefully planning how that space will sustain your energy grid. Because every building and defensive perimeter draws from the same network, overextension can quickly leave a base vulnerable. This emphasis on environmental control makes each mission feel distinct, as natural terrain shapes both defensive layouts and offensive routes. Combat is similarly distinctive. Units begin as basic infantry or vehicles and can morph into specialized forms through a flexible nanotechnology system. Rather than constructing entirely new production facilities for every advanced unit, players transform existing forces into airborne attackers, heavy artillery, or other specialized roles. This morphing mechanic allows rapid adaptation mid-battle and encourages tactical flexibility. Losing key energy nodes or terrain connections can instantly cripple both production and frontline units, reinforcing how tightly economic and military systems are intertwined. The expansion introduces approximately twenty-five new single-player missions, continuing the abstract and philosophical science fiction narrative established in the original game. The factions—the Empire, the Spirits, and the Harkback—are locked in ideological and territorial conflict across interconnected worlds. The storyline is dense and often delivered through stylized briefings rather than cinematic exposition, maintaining the series’ tradition of enigmatic storytelling. While intriguing, the narrative can be difficult to follow without familiarity with the original game’s lore, making this expansion most accessible to returning players. Visually, Emperor’s Testament reflects its mid-2000s origins. Organic terrain textures, fluid base growth, and softly stylized unit models give the battlefield a distinctive aesthetic that stands apart from metallic, industrial RTS contemporaries. While modern standards may reveal aging textures and a dated interface, the overall art direction remains cohesive and memorable. The expansion also introduced minor graphical refinements and a refreshed soundtrack, lending a slightly more polished feel compared to its predecessor. The learning curve remains steep. The interconnected systems—terraforming, energy management, perimeter shielding, and unit morphing—demand careful planning. Early missions can overwhelm newcomers, as there is little hand-holding. However, once the mechanics click, the strategic depth becomes apparent. Success often hinges less on overwhelming force and more on efficient network design, defensive perimeter placement, and timing of morph transitions. It rewards patience and methodical expansion rather than reckless aggression. While Emperor’s Testament does not radically reinvent the formula of the base game, it expands its mission variety and scenario complexity. Some missions feel like strategic puzzles, requiring precise timing and energy management rather than brute-force tactics. Others emphasize large-scale conflicts across multi-tiered landscapes, showcasing the full scope of the terraforming mechanic. This variety sustains engagement for players already invested in the system, though those seeking dramatic mechanical evolution may find it more iterative than revolutionary. Ultimately, Perimeter: Emperor’s Testament stands as a dedicated extension of a highly experimental RTS concept. It refines and elaborates on one of the genre’s most unusual approaches to territorial control and resource management. While its dated presentation and demanding systems may limit its appeal to modern casual audiences, it remains a compelling and cerebral experience for strategy enthusiasts seeking something distinct from conventional base-building warfare. For fans of complex network-driven RTS design and science fiction world-building, it offers a substantial and thoughtfully constructed expansion that remains unique within the genre. Rating: 6/10
"Если считаете, что эта игра является достойным наследником Perimeter, то Вы ошибаетесь" Такую фразу прочитал я, когда покупал игру На самом деле это всё тот же Perimeter Только с двумя доступными фракциями И, на мой субъективный взгляд, более скучным геймплеем, чем был в первой части Сама по себе игра не плохая Но брать только по скидке, чтобы жалеть было о меньшей сумме
Мы только орудие, де-Легат!
