Supreme Commander Gold Edition

The game combines huge maps, unique factions with diverse tech trees, an interesting story, and unusual interface. Users with multiple monitors can turn their computer into actual battle stations, dedicating one monitor to a strategic map to track units, while the other screens give you full control of several battle fields simultaneously. Be ready to sink a lot of time into the game though for battles do get hectic and rage on for hours. Each faction has a unique play style and well-balanced units that have strengths and weaknesses. Just to play it by the numbers won't grant you victory, you need to combine different unit types to be successful. The game still has an active community and AI patches to make it even more challenging. The graphics have aged rather well and the soundtrack is decent. In case you want to give the multiplayer a shot: While it is technically limited to LAN only, keep in mind that using VPN you can expand your LAN to include your friends' computers and play with them via the Internet regardless. If you have the time to spare to play this beast of an RTS, it is most certainly worth picking up - for multiplayer as well as the singleplayer campaigns.

4 stars from me, -1 for no online MP. This game is not for everyone, not even all RTS gamers. The learning curve is fairly steep; only the first mission in each campaign serves as sort of a tutorial. There is a separate tutorial feature where you can watch/read game mechanics and try it out on a map without AI; it's the only time I've ever seen this feature in a game, and it's pretty unique. The huge scale of the battles, while the best thing in the world for some players, will make this game too difficult to play for others. I had trouble keeping up with even the first mission. When on sale, maybe buy to see what all the buzz is about. If not on sale, know what you are getting into.

Best ever, just like everybody else says. I've only played it a handful of times on other people's systems, and it destroyed ever other game i've ever palyed. I lost every time and still loved it because I learned so much each time. RTS games streamlined alot after this game developed, especially with the 2nd game. It is a personal belief that this developed in response to RTS games 'getting away' from mainstream audiences, who had trouble with retention and being able to involve themselves in the game enough to play well (b/c playing this game badly is really brutal against people who know the game well, and there's still a large player base for online play) BUY IT. Insist upon RTS games being like this. Push the market to make more RTS games like this.

Want a tip from an Age of empires / Heroes Might and Magic 3 / Starcraft / Warcraft fan? You dont already own this IP? Shame on you, just swipe and be entertained for hours ! :D

... you don't have Supreme Commander with great DLC. StarCraft is small brother compare SC. Big maps, ground, sea and air units, "BIG" unique units and mighty Commander unit. And now you. WILL "YOU" SAVE THE GALAXY? 🫵✊
