STAR WARS™ Empire at War - Gold Pack

If you love the original Star Wars Battlefront games, this is essentially the RTS version, featuring very fun space and land battles with many maps. Objectively, the smooth controls, high fidelity zoom and camera adjustment make this one of the best in the RTS genre for pc. On top of this, the modding community takes a rather content limited game after a couple dozen hours, and gives you hundreds of hours of content to enjoy. Every era of star wars from the old republic to the new republic can be controlled in space and in land, with thousands of troop options and hundreds game modes. This is one of those games I wish I had played for all of my life. 10/10 make sure to try the community mods that make this game so lovable even after 20 years since release.

sehr spaßiges spiel obwohl es so alt ist,das originalspiel macht spaß. Aber mit mods macht es nochmal doppelt so viel spaß

age of empires pero con star wars la concha de mi madre la rebelion es muy fuerte pero si son unos guerrilleros nada mas hijos de remil puta y la re negrida concha de su wookie 7/10

{edit: spelling mistakes} <Star Destoyer Reporting> I absolutely adore this game. If you've ever wondered what Command & Conquer would feel like with a Star Wars skin, this is it. It runs remarkably well on the Steam Deck. Even during massive battles with dozens of units, space engagements, and complete battlefield chaos, performance stays surprisingly solid ---(if you avoid the graphically intensive mods on the workshop) From what I've played, the campaigns on both base and the FoC expansion are excellent. They do a great job of making you feel like you're commanding a real Galactic Civil War, and the game is packed with Expanded Universe content, deep-cut references, and Easter eggs that longtime Star Wars fans will appreciate. One of my favourite details is the inclusion of the Arc Hammer from Dark Forces (I love this game, you should definitely try it) actually functions as the factory ship it was in the lore deploying dark troopers to the planet surface as reinforcements, which is exactly the kind of attention to detail I love seeing. Overall, Empire at War is one of the (best and few) Star Wars RTS games ever made, with the incredible modding scene, it's easy to sink hundreds of hours into it. If you're playing on Steam Deck or not, it's an easy recommendation along as you avoid graphically intensive mods (unfortunately "thrawns Revenge* hates the Deck as one example) your absolutely golden. (I highly recommend you try the *Age of Legends* mod if you want something similar that functions pretty good on the decks hardware, I love it)

The base game shows its age. The AI is dumb, the pathfinding is janky, and the campaign balance leaves a lot to be desired by modern RTS standards. If you're coming in expecting something that plays as smoothly as current strategy titles, you'll probably be disappointed. That said, the modding community is where this game truly shines. Years after release, people are still building and updating massive overhauls that add new factions, rebalance the economy, expand the galaxy map, and bring in eras and content that never made it into the vanilla game. Some of these mods are more polished and content rich than a lot of full price releases. I'm a big fan of the Clone Wars era, and this is genuinely one of the best places to experience it in game form. There are several excellent mods dedicated to that period, with detailed unit rosters, iconic ships, and campaigns that capture the feel of the era in a way few other games manage. If you're buying this purely for the base game, temper your expectations. If you're buying it as a foundation for mods, this is an easy recommend. Just know upfront that you'll want to spend time in the Workshop and mod forums to get the most out of it. Recommended, with the mod community doing most of the heavy lifting.
