One of the BEST RTS of 2000
I'm extremelly happy to see this game on GOG. Finally, a classic RTS returns. I played and finished all 3 single player campaigns then and I'm looking forward to do it again! It's the 23rd century and 3 CorpoNations are racing to aquire items of vastly superior technology from an extinct alien race. 3 brothers have a quarrel and each one ends up in a different CorpoNation to fight for the alien pieces. That's the story behind the game, it's very good and it has a huge plot twist in the end. The more missions you play, the more you will learn about each CorpoNation and the more you will connect to each of the 3 brothers. The game is one of the first full 3D, and also features combat in 3 layers, each with unique capabilities and setbacks. (the orbital level is my favourite) The Combots are fantastic, customizable, detailed and have smooth moves. You can make countless combinations and approach each battle differently. Be careful when to choose power parts and when to choose solid-metal parts. I like one small detail in Combot building: The more firepower they have, the less armour they have- it's a nice balancing feature. You can make defence Combots or full-attack Combots. There is a big exception here with the alien parts, which are super-powerful with super-armour and they have regeneration. So if you come across one of them in the field do your best to acquire and research it!!! Crews are also very important in Combot's power and health, so keep your good crews alive because they carry over to next missions. The rest of the vehicles are secondary in battle and only usefull underground. I still prefer to fire teutonic torpedoes and deal with large groups underground, than to hunt every last one of them. Graphics are from 2000, so don't expect much compared to modern games. They were great then, they still get the job done today. I also liked the voice-overs especially the robotized assistant. In conclusion, this is a MUST-PLAY game if you're a fan of RTS.
