Freezerific.
Other than completely freezing for a while after saving the game, it's a pretty good game.

Fan patches save this masterpiece
Released smack in-between red-alert and Tib Sun, Darkreign is a bit obscure, which is sad because this is one of my favorite rts' second only to whichever c&c game I feel like today. Running the game on windows 10 is a pain unless you grab the fan-made v1.8 patch, it runs the game through a wrapper allowing it to run on modern os' without palette glitches and you can even set it in windowed mode with some cfg fiddling. The 1.8 patch even re-ads the music for the expansion which is missing in the gog version because whomever made the expansion messed with the formats of the music. Gameplay is solid with asymmetrical factions and an ai that will not take your crap, there are some missions that seem flatout impossible at first but once you recognize what the game wants you feel like a tactical powerhouse. If you like the old cnc games and want something different but the same then this is worth a shot

Go ahead and try it
I played this back when it came out and the game for the most part is pretty solid and much in the same fashion as C and C or Dune. I have win 10 and the only issues I have are 1, when I launch the game it acts like it does but then don't but if you hit alt + tab it will bring up the screen even though it's not in the taskbar. 2, the colors on the menus don't seem right which I think is due to screen resolution/graphics compatibility but in game graphics are fine. Over all well worth the price especially if you happen to pick it up on sale.
