For Pure Turn-Based Strategy Lovers
For what it is, M.A.X. is phenomenal. It is a pure, core, chess-piece turn based strategy game. Each team starts with some different bonuses but always the exact same units. The depth is in upgrading those units and using them like chess pieces to counter others. For example, having a bunch of infiltrators disable gun turrets for your tanks and missile (not rocket, those are different!) launchers to take them out. Also, there's a great upgrading system - in fact two of them. Research is slow, done usually in several linked research centers, but gives all your units permanent boosts including in one trait that cannot be researched by gold: cost. The AI is also fantastic. Even on the 2nd lowest of 5 settings it can analyze you're moving dangerous units close and move them away. It will analyze the weak spots in your defense and move in to nail your production units. Heck, I've never played above the middle difficulty and I've owned the game for 20 years. I cringe to see what it could do. It is; however, a 90's release meant for the hardcore. The music is ambient and dark, but nothing memorable. There is one top-down view but you can zoom in and out (though it looks like crap unless you're zoomed in on the closest setting). One thing I do like is "simultaneous moves". Still turn based, but saves time since you and your opponents move all at the same time.
