My Favorite Sci-Fi RTS
I love Total Annihilation and Starcraft and Earth 2150 and games like that, but this one is easily the most immersive and fun sci-fi real time strategy games I've played! The atmosphere, the story, the attention to detail: this is probably the closest gaming as gotten to recreating the experience of Dune. The endless desert and dry valleys might seem they'd become dull, but there's a ton of variations in height (which has tactical advantages) resources and wreckage to look at while you're rumble your Mad Max crew of vehicles to battle and exploration. What feels the best is the radio chatter. There must be hundreds of dialogue samples and mid-battle it really does feel like presiding over organized chaos as troops call out maneuvers, remark on their conditions, and have a dozen statements simply to make if you send them to go somewhere. Refreshing. You can hit Spacebar to zoom out completely from the gigantic maps to see everything you need to know quickly (resources locations, enemy movement, your troops...etc) and creating a number group is as easy as double clicking a unit type then holding a key and tapping a number. I never feel overwhelmed and battles do feel like a matter of positioning, unit type, using special abilities, upgrading...it all feels dynamic. The voice actors are VERY dry (no pun intended) but realistic. It feels like classic Star Trek: science officers with heavy weapons trying to outmaneuver a more powerful warlike empire. Sometimes I don't attack-click but instead select one enemy for attack...and after than unit dies all of my units just stop dead in their tracks without a command. It pays to just generally target an area instead of make specific attack commands, although the advantage of this single-mindedness is that you can target one boss enemy or choice target and your units will attack it until they die even if they're getting shot to pieces. Loyal to the end. Beautiful, tactical, comprehensive. I need to check out the original!
