Got a LOT of time to kill?
There are two kinds of RTS players: The competitive multiplayer crowds and the more comfortable single-player gamers who like to sit back and try out new strategies against a challenging AI opponent. Modern RTS games have almost exclusively favored the former group, but if you're in the latter then AI Wars is the best post-Red Alert 2 RTS game you could ask for. Almost every aspect of each randomly-generated campaign can be tailored to your style, from the map size (which can get pretty massive) to the AI's personality to the presence of third-party factions, so the result is a single-player (or co-op) experience that can scratch almost any RTS itch you have. Keep in mind that even experienced RTS players will need to spend a good chunk of time in tutorial campaigns. AI Wars is complex, and sadly its spotty documentation and interface don't offer much help. There are key tactical options that you have to learn almost by accident (like the fact that Champion frigates can warp back to your home base at any moment) and other hotkey functions that require multiple keys to do routine maneuvers. In fact one of the key factors in AI Wars' challenge is figuring out what weapons work best against what ships, and the intel reports that offer such information on each ship are horribly messy. The graphics in this game are oddly schizophrenic too. While I don't expect an indie game to look impressive, AI Wars is loaded with assets that look as though they came from 5 different games. You'll see meticulously-modeled home bases surrounded by pixel-art frigates and some rather cheesy nebulae in the background. The soundtrack is great in that 80's sci-fi sense, but has way too many melodramatic piano tracks for a game that almost completely lacks a story. As good as AI Wars is right now, I can't help but feel it would be a much, much better game with a redesigned UI and consistent art direction. That said, it's still one of the best single-player RTS experiences in recent memory.
