Interesting but not a good STR

I've been a huge fan of STR back in the days. Deserts of Kharak is an interesteting prequel to Homeworld, the narration is great, the graphics are beautiful and the game performances overall is fine. However, the game suffers from design issues that seems inherited from homeworld and which, for me, makes it boring: - Units controls is really annoying, units can be stacked in several different groups, which is great, but it's a chore to remove them, so if you accidentally added an unit to a group, or want to rework a group without totally dismantling it, you can't. - The overview is too small, having a clear picture of what is happening is nearly impossible, moreoever, there's no minimap - The game is heavilly scripted. It's great that STR evolved from the time when the good strategy was to zerg the ennemy, even if it was cool. In Karhak, ressources are incredibely limited and ennemies come by waves, after checkpoints in the game, they have no base. So basically you cannot have a real influence on the scenario. Make sure to prepare yourself as necessary, deplete ressources to the maximum, then trigger the checkpoint. If for some reason your units setup is not good then ... meh, restart it. For this kind of dynamic, turns by turns game are more appropriate. Here, not only it makes the game boring, but it also seems like a gamble at some points. - Units transfering from one world to another is great, but the ressources are so limited that you can cumulate a debt over and over the mission and then having to start over, or to start with default ressources. So hey, well, I remember I did not complete Homeworld back in the days because it was cool but incredibly hard to control and too scripted, I am going to finish that game but I'm not having so much fun with it.

Niedokończona, ograniczona, denerwująca

Te trzy słowa według mnie idealnie opisuje tą grę. Zatrważająca ilość skryptów, która sprawia, że jest jedyna właściwa droga by dobrze zagrać. Przez to cały czas trzeba restartować misję, bo w pewnym momencie uruchomił się skrypt, a nie zdążyłeś zrobić paru rzeczy, które miałeś zamiar, ale gra nie pozwala, bo tak. Słaba reakcja jednostek na wydawane rozkazy. Nie raz i nie dwa stracisz jakąś, bo zamiast się ruszyć od razu to będzie strzelać jak w jakimś transie do przeciwników. Ogólnie ma się wrażenie, że dowodzi się bandą idiotów, która na ogień przeciwnika spokojnie stoi sobie w miejscu, aż zginie. Sytuacja, gdzie wrogi railgun strzela do twoich jednostek, a te stoją jak manekiny ćwiczebne zdarza się bardzo często. Zatrzymałem się na misji, gdzie można zdobyć 3 artefakty, ale wygląda na to, że tylko pojazd głównej postaci może je podnosić, a zwykły biegacz już nie?! Czyli znowu muszę restartować misję? Bez sensu. Chyba będzie trzeba poszukać opisu wszystkich misji, żeby nie restartować gry co chwilę. Jeśli jesteś wstanie przymknąć oko na to wszytko to jest to całkiem fajna gra z fajną historią.

Focused campaign with great atmosphere

A tightly paced campaign where your desert crawler and it's forces steadily gain power over each mission as you salvage artefacts strewn across the desert. The plot is based around finding the guidestone, your giant desert crawler and hero unit support craft journey across the vast desert and the opponents within to reach it. Even during missions you continually move your entire 'base' across the map as you hoover up more supplies, constantly moving forwards. The deserts themselves make for good rts terrain, where controlling dune ridges lets you make or break line of sight with your enemies below at your leisure. In other cases, railguns seem to be the dominant unit across an open plain, unless they are swarmed by light attack vehicles. And at least in the context of the campaign, air support is the "need emergency damage here" button. The management aspects have been simplified, no longer needing different production modules built before creating unit classes or research modules to actually perform research. You simply research the new units or upgrades as they become available to unlock them. The carrier also gets to spend power allocation across 4 different systems depending on what you need the carrier to do at the time. Unit dialogue and idle dialogue is great. Really great, with different lines reads based on if the unit is currently in combat or not. Music is great. Only negatives would be sometimes worker units are pretty bad at keeping themselves busy. And trying to find and select idle workers is painful. Also Rachel's pathfinding killed her when running away from the exploding base one time, the pathfinding in general is passable but can fail sometimes when getting a move order through an impassable object. The only thing missing is some sort of semi-randomised mini campaign to replicate the feeling of progression across the desert, that could be tackled with any of the factions. Then a co-op varient of the mini campaign.

Very Disappointing

I only really bought this for the campaign (probably for the best since multiplayer was basically dead on arrival) and for me, compared to the Homeworld campaigns, I really hated it. It felt very rushed, very clipped, no dramatic tension or depth to speak of. Just very disappointing all around for me. Some of the concepts and gameplay feel reasonable, they I loath the lack of interactivity between units, again in comparison to Homeworld. The lack of tactical pause was an irritation, though not a deal breaker and they've known done a very crude bodge job of it. Things like that and editable hotkeys are to me indications of the game having been rushed out the door. Balance at release was bad, the game was riddled with bugs and crashing, it seemed like it was just trading on the Homeworld name to grab some cash.

Good enough...

I was surprised with this one. Very good RTS, with good mechanics and controls. The story is great altough it faulters towards the end (its a RTS thing really). Its a bit short in singleplayer, 10H on Hard Campaign, but it cost 5€ so its fine. Recommended. PS: Got it on steam
