They have to fix problems...
The game goes well but sometimes the game crashes and does not have to save the game in skirmish mode, it would be good to fix those problems so that the game is 100% fixed, I hope my review is supported. (This is happening to me in Windows 7 64 bits and it's not my pc)

Must Play RTS
When I first found GOG I looked for this game. I am so happy to finally be able to own it, DRM-Free, once again. I still have my original 2 CDs but I could'nt get them to work on Windows 7, much less Windows 10. Now I can finally enjoy this amazing RTS! If you've never played this game before but are a fan of RTS games I highly recommend it! It is definitely worth the price!

Amazing story, awesome gameplay
This game's story is amazing: it follows the story of three young brothers entering maturity, as a conflict changes them - and the path humanity takes among the stars. Sounds bombastic? Perhaps puerile? While the characters might be those things, at times, the story itself isn't. It manages, with the help of flawed characters, to criticise them and the SF path humanity has taken. My advice: don't be put off by the characters (especially the whiny intro) - it's the fault of the characters, not the story. Follow it to the campaign's end, and all shall be made clear. The gameplay it is hugely fun. You build and field giant battle mechs, with interchangeable parts (torso, legs, left arm, right arm), They can cloak, fly, enter melee, snipe from range, or bombard with back-mounted howitzers. Besides the awesomely fun and varied mechs, you get a whole RTS game - supporting vehicles (ranging from harasser-scouts to mech-wrecking), defence buildings, and a fully fleshed out economy; you can build solar collectors, shield generators, teleporters, aircraft hangars, mechpart factories and superweapons. While mechs are awesome and powerful, few can resist a wing of bombers with air supremacy or a neutron bomb. The game manages to vary the gameplay through subtle changes: there are 3 layers, subterranean, ground and atmospheric. In the underground, mechs can't fit, but geothermal resources are plentiful. In the high atmo, there are only a few floating platforms, but solar collectors gather more energy; flying mechs rule there. The 3 factions, while similar, play differently: they have a few different mech parts and altogether different damage resistances, which strongly influences their strategies. I did play this 1 year ago, so this is not nostalgia talking. It still is very fun. My only complaint: the mouse control could be a bit more responsive. Overall, one of my favourite games; at the current price, it's amazing.

Fond Memories
Absolutley love GoG from bringing one of my childhood's fondest games to the platform. I'm one of the many that requested it and it's a beautiful thing to see a company strive to get every fan a bit of what they like. On to the game, honestly, it's rough around the edges but you'll quickly overlook this. It's a lot like any other RTS of the time period but with more "custimization" in the sense that you can deck out your ComBots in any fashion of parts you'd like. It makes for a very varied gameplay as you can choose some that fly, or use melee only, or are more sniper like in nature. The game takes place across Orbit, Land, and Underground and adds yet another wrinkle of strategy to the game that will make this dated title still feel very interesting and new when compared to its contemporaries.
