Sept. 2024

Firstly: I don't know if the game was patched or if it's a matter of personal config but I'm running it fine on Win 11 on a 2k-native monitor (I set the config of what seems to be emulator software that runs at the beginning to 2k as well and then in-game to its maximum 1600x900). It's also worth noting that I have the game on GoG and the version there seems to be fussier (harder to set up proper resolution and crashes easier), though in-game text looks a bit better. One of the best, most unique and also most underrated RTS games of all time. Yes, it did have its problems but most were simply limitations of games at the time, path finding being one of the major woes. But it also had the best giant robot mechanic ever, I've never seen anything like it outside of a very few tabletop games. Unfortunately it was a new IP coming out at a busy time when some other big games overshadowed it. The game is showing its age now but it is still playable and I highly recommend trying it, if only to experience building your own "combot".

I'm a little biased with this game because I played so much of a DEMO of it when I was a kid! Sometimes wants to work, other times just doesn't. Also seems to crash whenever I try to load my campaign save. I do wish this game's source code were made available. In general not a bad RTS, and not particularly challenging when versing AI, but it's still a lot of fun and largely unique :)

Win 11 = immediate bluescreen, even with compatibility modes. No way to play, it seems. Personally disappointed but enjoy if you get it to work.

June 2024

Build a big flying mech and give it a katana, what more do you want? I have a lot more hours on this game than what steam suggests... almost 25 years ago I first played this back in the 2000s. There are other units, you can base build underground, surface level and in sky maps, sometimes all 3 on the same level, switching between the layers as needed. It is not hugely complex, but, it is fun. If you are into your strategy games, certainly worth a few quid and a play through of one of the factions. A remake of this would be awesome!

May 2024

One of the best and most underrated RTS's. Not very optimized nor updated sadly. Sometimes crashes on skirmish mode 20-30 mins into a match. Still has some of the most unique unit creation mechanics.
