Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
The depth of this game is really 2nd to none. it still feels like ive yet to unlock the full potential of this game and its mysteries! So many units and buildings and factions! Phenominal map making system. Truly a must have for RTS fans!
Thank you very much ,GOG! You made the impossible: the main game works on Windows 10!Now it is time for the add-on. It still does not work on Windows 10 but I am ready to wait for the repair. I did not played this game when it was released but there is always time for this. Thanks in advance.
"This" isn't the GoG I know...
The only thing it has going for it: it installs and starts fine in Win10x64.
But that's it.
For the game to be played in full screen, it's apparently necessary to install the Community Patch, which you'll have to find yourself (https://www.darkreignws.com/download).
-> why not add it to the download? Or at least link it in the description! I mean, it's already mentioned(!) on the store page!
And now the really fucked part: you. cannot. save.
If you do, the game crashes.
So, to sum it up: good game (not CnC level), but terrible release.
(I will update this review if I find some workaround; or not, as I shouldn't really have to jump through such hoops...)
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
