I have owned the CDs for SoA and both the Warcraft 3 games for ages. They are the only ones I kept from childhood through student life and now adult life. I might take them to the grave with me. SoA is a special game to me because it was so unique and I haven’t really come across a similar game since. Sadly I never managed to finish the story! Installing the game has proven very difficult on modern hardware. Even with Linux and Wine or a Windows XP VM it failed to start. I am hoping GOG will manage to preserve this gem. Otherwise I might have to go to my grave not only with the CD but also not knowing if I would’ve sided with NOAH or COTUC! I avoided story spoilers my entire life hoping one day I would be able to find a way to play it again!
Completely forgotten real-time tactics (with some minor base management) game from the early '00s. In some ways it feels like a proto-Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 (notably during combat), but it's also quite similar in several respects to Fallout Tactics.
The game was notorious at launch for its poor pathfinding and artificial difficulty. A patch was released soon afterwards, which added improved pathing and active pause (whose initial absence pretty much everybody noticed). Unfortunately (possibly due to the aforementioned launch issues), it never became a cult classic like the later Silent Storm.
Soldiers of Anarchy – I Remember This Game Well
I have fond memories of this game. Over time, my CD got damaged, and I haven’t been able to find the game anywhere since. I spent countless hours playing it, replaying every mission over and over. Back then, the battles felt very realistic to me. I wonder how I would see it today. But honestly, I'd buy it again out of nostalgia and reinstall it with great anticipation. :)
This game was way ahead of its time. It is an RPG/RTS with basebuilding. There are different weapons to equip, vehicles to drive and it is a neat game for the most part. The camera controls and unit controls were a bit messy which is the only downside I remember.
Woefully underrated and forgotten real-time tactics game in post-apocalyptic Russia. Very few things beat the scratching of the itch to loot vehicles and weapons in a meaningful way. You can engage enemy vehicles on the battlefield, shoot weapons that liquefy the crew inside a tank and then put your own dude in to drive it back to base for repair and refurbishment, giving you a new tank.
Starting off small and then taking on a world-level threat at the end is a great journey to experience in the game.
I owned and finished the game back in the day and loved it so much, despite spending hours in front of loading screens. I've recently managed to get it running as abandonware, but it involves finding the update patch and adding a random no cd found online, I would prefer a clean repack by gog. I'm about halfway through the game in my re-play now and I must say that it didn't age so well, the AI is just so brain dead, can't go around a corner to shoot you, and the units sometimes go in the opposite direction of where they were told to go. I also think the weapons depiction is very average, with "RPG-7 bazookas" and such nonsense. But the game is so full of nostalgia, the story is entertaining and the huge levels are not so common in such RTS.
A wonderfully detailed strategy game where scavenging everything you can counts. Would love to see GOG do a release of this, as my original boxed disk copy no longer works on modern PCs. :(
This game (and then The Fall from the same studio) were my favorite tactics in childhood.
It has some special styling and music, very atmospheric. Fallout-like, but realistic one.
Gameplay, that combines exploring and fighting, also trading and unit management between missions. Every soldier and vehicle are valuable, so you FEEL the power, when obtain a new type of vehicle (tank/heli etc)
The plot has some choices to be made, so you'll have the whole different missions in various routes.
My father had this game in early 2000s on his PC. It was one of my first gaming experiences, and it was great. At one point in my life, I even brought a piracy just to get an opportunity to replay this fantastic piece of media, and the game was still as beautiful as the first time I launched it. Now, as a grown man, who cares about his privacy and internet ethics, I stopped using pirated software. But this game is not available for purchase from the official online distributors. I really like the idea of GOG to save good old games from disappearing in annals of history. I want to support the developers and that would be great to own this game legally with an opportunity to download it anytime. As a conclusion, I want to thank the GOG team for dedication and hardworking and I want to ask them to consider adding Soldiers of Anarchy to their service.
