Description
In a distant future, Mankind has nearly exploited all of the natural resources of our exhausted planet. As various resource wars flare up, nations begin forming alliances in order to arrive at a better solution than simply fighting to the last. A solution is found: the MoonBase probe. Remotely controlled by a single pilot, the probe lands on the surface of any available planet, replicates its central Hub, and expands across the planet in search of life-giving energy. The already fragile alliance crumbles as its leaders recognize the potential of the probe. Four factions arise from the ashes of a fallen alliance--each with its own objectives. What started as a tool to harvest resources has now been forged into a deadly weapon of war. You begin as a pilot for your chosen faction. As you operate your Hub remotely, you wage a campaign across each planet, searching for energy-rich pools while destroying anything that would dare to take your hard-earned resources.

Moonbase Commander is a simple to learn, difficult to master turn-based strategy game where you are fighting for the limited resources of a planet against either the AI or other players. If you are feeling creative, you can make customized maps with the included Map Editor.
  • A tough AI that gives strategy veterans a run for their money.
  • Easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay keeps the action fast and exciting!
  • Includes an exceptionally easy-to-use map editor.

Is this a fanboi feeding frenzy?

What the hell is it with page after page of solid 5 star rave reviews? This game is NOT, repeat NOT worthy of this. 3 is the maximum. To be fair the game is a pleasant one, but it is far too simple. Not enough units, factions, terrain types, game rules - not enough anything TBQH! I cannot believe this is a 2002 release..... I'd have guessed at 1982! I've had TBS games on the Commodore 64 with more complexity, back in the 80's. It also commits are very, very bad sin - it puts something that is abomination to turn-based strategy..... timer limits. Luckily timers are not enforced in every game, just some of the campaign scenarios. This is mostly just a "gravity wars" style game with a primitive base building element thrown in - and is overhead view 2D instead of side-on 2D. Moonbase Commander gave me about two hours playtime before I realised I was bored of it already. The standard price of £4+ is WAY overpriced. Best wait till it comes on offer for £1 or so. Now lets see just how "unpopular" this review will be - this review page is one of the worst " raving fanboi pendemia" pages I've yet seen! So when this review gets "0 out 1484234647842783534 users found this review helpful" in a few days time, we will have a good headcount of all these nutjobs!

Entertaining for one or more players

This is an enjoyable game, the multi-player game is fun too, even hot seat. The game seems to have nu bugs or crashing, and doesn't take long to play a match.

Worms for the nerds

Manages to make an RTS-like worms-clone. Boring since it is very barebones, unusable because it comes from the last bit of the clunkiest era in gaming; at least it doesn't need a voodoo graphics card or something, that's the only thing that could make it worse. Don't get baited by the nostalgic people, if you go in blind then there's only a skeleton of a game. Sure it is a good skeleton, but a skelly nontheless and I'm not here for hapless necromancy I'd rather continue my trip to stumble on another treasure. Still, 3 points for effort.
