I picked this up when it was on offer recently - and unfortunately I am rather regretting it.

The write-up of it sounded right up my street - mix of RPG and RTS with a 'captivating' storyline written by an actual novelist. Yeah, right...

From what I've seen so far (which admittedly is only the intro sequence and the build-up to the first mission) the writing is the most terrible generic fantasy bullshit dross I've ever come across. My friend and I were laughing continuously at it, and not in a good way...

I'm happy to persevere for now and see if it gets better (if I can tear myself away from Freedom Force vs The Third Reich, which I'm LOVING) but I don't hold high hopes.

Can anyone tell me if it does get any better???
The game was supposed to be a trilogy with mixing a sci-fi elements in the story. There are missions where you can see crashed spaceships on the ground. It ends with a cliffhanger hinting that it would change the fantasy clichee. However the sequels never got funded, and won't see the light of day.

try skirmish, that is where the game shines. with massive battles. oh and disable autosave, its kind of broken.
