would not recommend the controls and unit pathing are terrible, it is just a rage game at this point
for 90 cents in a sale it may be an ok buy for nostalgia reasons, but this port of the game has a couple of technical issues. the controls may be the worst i have ever seen in an rts. i got 100% <4 hours having never played the game before. at its core i see a lot of potential and it still can be a somwhat fun experience (after all i felt the need to complete it), but the technical issues, controls, path finding, semi-soft-locks all distract from that. the fmv sequences were probably great at the time the game came out, but in todays adhd world it felt hard to sit through them and i ended up skipping them most of the time.
I couldn't believe my eyes that this game was here. I bought it to finally play it with the in-game videos. The feeling is the same. Same breathtaking cute graphic. Sounds and the hilarious comments from robots. Same proven units. It is cute, funny, sarcastic and a blitzkrieg like hell. I felt the same joy as back then when I played it, perhaps in 96. Everyone that feels a little nostalgic about it, I can only recommend. It is still the same gem. And for modern gamers it is a gem in the rough. This is a master piece that aged like the best of vines. 11 out of 10.
ist sehr cool das das layout von quadratisch auf neuere geräte angepasst wurde... allerdings ein wenig laggy es geht aber noch. prinzipiell ein gutes spiel das man jedem empfehlen kann Warnung: BMTs funktionieren nur sehr eingeschränkt
30년전에 cd로 산걸 할인할때 샀으니 불만은 없지만 난이도 조절 문제라고 말하기도 싫을 정도로 적만 유리한 결과가 나옴 5 스테이지 하는데 라이트 탱크 끼리 싸우면 적 탱크는 움직이면서 피하면서 쏘니까 내거만 터진다 내거도 가끔은 회피하려고 움직이지만 적만 이기게 설정되있는거 같다 게다가 내 탱크가 적 짚차하고 싸울때도 적 총에 탱크 운전자가 죽어서 탱크 뺏어간다 그래서 다시할때는 그런트 뒤에 추가로 같이 데려가면 짚차는 이길수 있지만 결국 탱크 1:1 싸움에서는 거의 내것이 진다 싸우는동안은 컨트롤을 내가 못한다 난 공격 명령만 하면 알아서 지네들끼리 싸우는데 내가 먼저 공격하든 적이 먼저 공격하든 결과는 적탱크가 많이 이긴다 계속 반복해서 시도하면 나도 이기겠지만 무슨 박스 랜덤 아이템마냥 이길때까지 계속 반복 시도하는게 실력이 아니라 높은 확률로 지게 만든 게임을 왜하는건가 싶다 전투가 아니라 이동명령도 제대로 안듣는다 멀리 있는 도로의 중간을 정확히 지정해야 그나마 이동하지 도로에서 조금만 갓길쪽으로 이동하려고 처음부터 갓길쪽으로 지정하면 이상하게 이동을 안하고 가만히 있는다 시작하면 빨리 공장 차지하러 가야하는데 적 로봇들은 모든 로봇들이 동시에 움직이는데 이건 내가 감안하고 해야하지만 내 로봇들은 직선으로 안가고 조금씩 돌아가는 느낌이다 제작사가 게임을 망가뜨렸다는 생각이 든다 로봇이 3명이 1조로 움직이는데 깃발 있는곳 근처에 짚차가 있으면 깃발이나 짚차 뭘 찍든 인공지능이 자동으로 근처의 나머지도 차지하게 되있는데도 방금전에는 짚차만 타고 근처에 있는 깃발은 이상하게 안잡고 가만히 서있는다 처음부터 3인이 그룹이라서 내가 독립적으로 깃발과 짚차에 각각 이동하게 할수가 없다 30년전에 cd로 했을때는 자동으로 다 한걸로 기억하는데 그때는 가까웠고 지금은 멀리있어서 안잡는건가?

小时候的游戏,非常棒,快三十年了吧,可玩性很高,重点是你要把难度调高一些,把兵种都出全,多配合
Well throw away nowadays standards, for the time when this originally released it's quite a complete game considering all the obscure crap from that time period, i love the RTS action and the silly jokes in the story. Overall a great experience to relive in 2026.
Probably better off playing the original through DOSBox. Everything is so sluggish. opposite of a tight old dos-game. Even the main menu has delays after clicking and is generally unresponsive. And what's up with the filtering? Who filters pixel art like this? Should be considered a war crime.
One of the best RTS of its time, and never really got expanded upon (Properly/Successfully). Good Mechanics that teaches the importance of pushing for map control over Turtling. Map Control = More Build speed = More units = more aggression = more winning. A Game very much based on Momentum, and not to stand still. Yet you still have to be tactical in your choices. Sneak around and damage factories, go straight for the base, cut off supply lines. Story is simple, Characters are hilarious as your Troops go Bat **** Crazy on the battlefield depending on your performance. Can be frustrating with Pathing, as units can have the brains of a brick. Can be frustrating, but when you get used to and play it for what it is, and what it was at the time. Great Memories. Commander Zod!
