Army Men RTS

The only thing that really bothers me about it is the unit pathing, it's painful how long it takes for the units to stop bumping into eachother and move to another place, I found myself making CTRL+1,2,3... squads of my main zerg of units just so I can control the infantry, fast moving vehicles and tanks seperately so they won't keep colliding with eachother as much when I try to move them. However the setting is very unique, it's like every kid's dream to control army men as if they were alive, the fact that you harvest plastic and electricity from items and the plastic blobs units/buildings leave behind after they are destroyed is great, I personally don't mind that there are no different factions with different types of units, but I know some people dislike it. The missions also have variety, some are the basic build/train/destroy, some are focused on using just a group of special units to progress through the level or when you have to capture/defend a base until you build enough units to progress.

I played this game in the mid 2000's. I never remember finishing the game back then. I did so this year. The good: - Good idea; - Graphics are nice; - Lots of explosions; - Long campaign with various objectives; - Units (soldiers) are actually useful and you need to use them according to their specialities; - Some silly humour, sometimes too safe, sometimes adult jokes. The bad: - Pathfinding SUCKS!!! It is the worst pathfinding I ever saw in any game I played. The pathfinding is so broken it ruined my enjoyment and it will ruin yours. Units will constantly collide with each other and will just prevent each other from moving. They will form long lines despite the fact that other games of the era could do formations. The hitboxes are too large for the units. Two soldiers cannot pass one another if too close and by close I mean quite a distance. - Many achievements are locked behind timed goals, over half of them are just timed and timed and timed. It is such a disgusting requirement that you will get tired. Why would you care about the achievements? Because they unlock extra missions. - The unit noises are repetitive. - Besides the medics and the helicopters, all other mechanized units are trash and a waste of resources, don't even bother. The halftrack and tanks are garbage and should be avoided since they are not that easily repairable and take a long time. Did I mention the timed goals? You're better off making 10 bazooka soldiers than 2 tanks. They will also be able to shoot down aircraft. Make 2-3 snipers, 20 bazooka soldiers, 3 mortars and you are set to win most games. Of course don't forget the medics and you will need about 3 of them. This is for the fans of older games. Don't buy this if you don't like difficult games. This ain't an easy game to play.

Exeptional execution of the art style, a great soundtrack and easy to understand & engaging gameplay in singleplayer, both the campaign and the challenge missions. Resolutions are locked to 1280x1024 and lower, but any custom resolution will work as long as it stays bellow 1280x1024 (including custom 16:9 ones) The skirmish mode does not support enemy AI opponents by default but there is a quick to apply user mod that adds this in, without altering anything else.

Its amazing.. childhood has been.. fixed!

Don't bother buying until they fix it. The game doesn't even start up and despite trying different patches, system settings, compatibility settings, launch options etc nothing helps. I've tried searching online for fixes and found nothing seems to work. It's very disappointing as games sold on GOG are meant to be patched to work on modern systems, but this one definitely hasn't.
