Very fast paced RTS for 1997
I played this in 1997 and now picked up a copy on GOG. Compared to other RTS of that time, it's pretty fast-paced. Especially, since there's no option to pause for getting an overview and distributing commands. Multiplayers frown upon pausing anyway, but the sad thing is, that multiplayer isn't working out of the box (as of now). The setting in a post-apocalyptic world is appealing and the units of the two factions are quite different and fun to play. Micromanagement of single units is difficult to maintain, because you loose to much time, thus tactical decisions are more about what to built and where to put it, than how to use your units. Still, it's fun to mass up your army and get this final Krush, Kill and Destroy feeling. All in all, there are better RTS out there, even with similar settings. As the complete campaign only consists of 30 missions and half of it are easy and fast to accomplish, you can finish the game in a few days, having a good time, before the simplicity of this rusher becomes boring. But don't be fooled, some missions are very hard, so there is challenge in it. ---------------------- I found this GOG version slightly more difficult compared to the original KKND release. Maybe it's a bit faster now. This version tends to be bugged. In addition to the multiplayer issue, it crashes regularly (e.g. on start). Using the old DOS release with DOSBox runs better. (Check the GOG forum if this criticism still applies)
