Fans of this classic strategy title are in for a real treat! Everything is in here from the terrific comedy cut scenes to the frantic game play, making this the definitive version of Z.
Under the command of General Zod, it is your job to take control of chain smoking, foul-mouthed, abusive, alcoholic robot-grunts, whose
main purpose is to battle it out on different planets of the universe. That is, if they're not currently crashing the ship they're on!
Advance through the landscape and take over abandoned factories and radar sites which will help you produce more vehicles and weapons to aid your army to victory. This is not a drill, soldier! Every decision counts, and if you screw up, you will be punished for it. General Zod is ready to rumble and makes no bones about it! Z is simply the fastest, funniest, most frantic, feature-packed action-strategy game you'll play this century!
The classic Real Time Strategy Game by the Bitmap Brothers remade for PC.
Challenging, fast, and furious gameplay that will keep you on your toes till the end of each mission!
Command six types of Robot soldiers each with their own individual personalities and armed with rifles, machine guns, and antitank missile launchers.
Twenty challenging levels set on five planets each with a unique terrain ranging from Arctic waste to lands of fire and lava.
Lots of hardware for you and your soldiers to control, ranging from three types of tanks, jeeps, repair vehicles, and armoured personal carriers to field guns and missile launchers.

I have no probems with changing the controls, but this game is to easy now. For example in original version the cannon barrel dont point to enemy when u click the attack, it just stand still on the position where it was when u click attack, thats a diff and make u 1st strike all time. Next thing is, the KI is so stupid that dont even take the tanks and def cannons, very often they just dont take the next sektor to the eft or right after 5 minutes. What is this pls? Playing this version of Z feels like cheating.
Simply, this remake is very bad; The original was so good, that I even enjoy playing this game eventually, and if you dont download dos box with an old version (which is easy) or look up Zod Launcher, then this is still a good way to play a Classic.
The problem with Z - the remake is that it's design- As it seems this game was meant for a tablet or mobile device... This is essentailly a carbon copy of a classic which makes the game fustrating to play and at times laughable, from the non- standard RTS 1 click 1 order nonesense(of which is inconsistent), along with the right click drag to observe the battle field - to the shocking AI that is so dumb that it breaks it's game by getting caught behind bridges and continues to stack there - letting you win.
On top of that-the old fave bug for many RTS games: The pathfinding. it is so bad that I am confident that I can order a unit to go to the other side of the screen, and it will get stuck... As someone else mentions, it means you have to hold the unit's hands everwhere, which for a game that is not short on it's 'cheese' through micro, you really dont want to do it... The Former steals from it, the latter gives something back.
All in All, Z: the remake is an awful remake, it plays and it does breath like Z - however that is no justificaiton for a 3 star game,
+3 stars for actual Z gameplay which is good
-1 star for performance issues
-2 stars for bugs and bad design .
P.S. Gog please release the orignal Dos version! I would buy it for £5 !
Most reviews for the game were made in 2014. And it was indeed a fantastic game back in its day. But this port / remake / fix for modern systems is just awful. Do not buy it. Do not support this. It does not work. In my case, the game doesn't even start and just crashes back to desktop with absolutely no helpful information. On a friend's computer, it did start up but was all whacky with a weird interface. Since it's been 3 years now, I guess we can give up hope for a patch as well.
