obscure masterpiece

Occasionally you may find yourself playing a game so novel and well-realized that it reminds you of the limitless possibilities of the medium. Not only are most of the mechanics fresh and unprecedented, but the world-building and the story are wonderfully creative, offering wonderment at the mysteries of the unknown. The only flaw I could identify is that some of the units are poorly balanced (requiring disproportionate numbers of sub-units or investment in labs relative to their utility, or overpowered once constructed *cough* daemon scourge generators *cough*), and maybe the inability to queue buildings which requires seemingly unnecessary micro. I should mention that I'm a fanboy of this game going way back, and I haven't played it in a few years. But it really left a lasting impression on me and at this price even the most casual of RTS fans should be obligated to try it out. So glad it's on GOG so that I can bug everyone I've ever met to buy it. Someday I will at last have the opportunity to try the multiplayer... and ruin it for everyone else with cheesy exploits and strats refined over hundreds of hours.

Buggy

I purchased this game on GOG because I adore RTSs and this game has got some pretty good reviews. I found, though, that the game is simply too poorly made to be playable for long. Units veer into abysses and kill themselves even though there is a very obvious path for them to go around. Squads refuse to form even though all units necessary are present. Build queue numbers magically disappear (although the queue itself still continues building). These problems just make the game too frustrating to play for more than a couple hours for me. The ideas behind the game are great, it's just unfortunate they didn't have better programmers.

A uniquely beautiful RTS

Over my long years, only 2 RTS games have kept calling me back for another quick round: Age of Mythology and Perimeter. I won't write much about Perimeter, previous reviewers have covered it adequately, but I want to say this: do you know that feeling you get when you recall the best games you've played and nostalgia starts welling up your soul? This is one of them few.

A solid, but ultimately average RTS

This has enough new ideas to make it worth checking out, but I ran out of steam with it fairly quickly unfortunately - I didn't see enough to encourage me to persist.

Fun at first then it's Frustrating.

It's an interesting game right up until the Mission "Eldruid" where you have to continuously build Energy Cores until a Spiral charges up, meanwhile you're being continuously attacked by The Scourge, forcing you to use your perimeter shield constantly which drains energy until you can't anymore. And then pretty much you're at the mercy of the scourge as they destroy your Energy cores. And that's where the game stopped being fun for me. This mission single-handedly killed any enjoyment from playing this game. And I've read other reviews and forum posts indicating it just gets even more frustrating from there. I wish I could refund it.
