One of my favourite RTS games to date

Genuinely one of the best RTS games I have ever played. I replay the campaign regularly. Presentation is amazing. Voice acting is excellent. Sound effects are quality and punchy, echoing crisply off canyon walls and into the distance over the sands. Graphics are beautiful with each faction and unit looking distinct from both an aesthetic and practical perspective. It manages to capture the feeling of the previous space-bound 3D Homeworld games on land-bound 2D plane in a way I find impressive. It's also the only game I can think of currently that manages to portray aircraft carrier-based warfare so well, despite taking place entirely in a desert. In terms of critiques, there are some bugs and some polish is still needed but the game is done from what I can tell. I wish there was more, the amount of content presented is not worth the full asking price in my opinion but on sale it is a blast. An expansion or sequel would be most welcome but we have Homeworld 3 on the horizon. TL,DR: This game is an RTS gem that should be bought on sale.

Fun, but with some annoyances

First up: Linux compatibility. It's not officially supported, but it works perfectly under Linux when using Wine. Always good. Performance: my system is a Ryzen 5600 and a Radeon 6500XT. The game runs pretty well at 1920x1080 with all the options set to max (except annoyances like depth of field and motion blur, those are disabled for the sake of my sanity). It chugs a bit during some in-game cutscenes, but oddly enough runs perfectly during gameplay. Is it fun? Yes. It really is Homeworld in 2D - there's no fixed base and your "mothership" produces all your units. The difficulty level is about right - not a cakewalk, but not a punishing nightmare either. Combat feels satisfying and punchy, the music is pretty good and the plot kept me engaged. But it's not perfect. I'll say it up front - I've been spoiled by Supreme Commander. That, to me, is the absolute pinnacle of RTS gameplay. You can zoom in and out in Deserts of Kharak, but only so far. You can zoom out further to get a bigger overview of the map, but that's a separate mode which you need to toggle. SC let you go smoothly from being right up in the face of your smallest unit to seeing the entire battlefield. Not being able to smoothly zoom in and out is a bigger annoyance than it seems. Many other RTS games have a minimap, but not DoK. It wasn't present in Homeworld because the 3D nature and very large scale precluded it, but that's not an issue here and it would have been very useful. And there's no way to pause the game while still being able to look around, let alone issue orders when paused. It's also a very short game, even more so when you don't know what the level triggers are (which might end a mission earlier than you want). But all that said, I don't regret my purchase. I enjoyed playing it and I'd recommend it to any fan of the RTS genre.

Very nice story prequel to Homeworld

Disclaimer : This review is based on singleplayer campaign experience only - I do not plan to play MP. This game is very nice introduction to Homeworld story line, which now thanks to GoG is complete thanks to HW:Emergence (previously known as Cataclysm). The fans will find nice little things, newcomers will taste the the story of Homeworld. Even though the story is not going to win a price, it is very nicely written and I enjoyed it. The gameplay of singleplayer is... well rather straightforward, and I made it through smoothly with no great issues (unless I screwed big time). I appreciate the "checkpoint" autosave on longer missions. From strategical view, the game is rather... flat-ish. Even though there are few non-traditional elements (mobile HQ carrier and so) in the end most effective strategy in campaign is to get biggest units available and steamroll over enemy. Despite that I did not feel bored and I enjoyed the story while playing very relaxed RTS. Note: MP will probably find more use for smaller, quick units for rushes, hit'n'run, flanking and disturb actions, however not in singleplayer. The overall evalutaion is... difficult. The game is... nice, it definitely is worth of paying for and playing. I do recommend it. However, being ithe Homeworld franchise - it is very poor sister to the big three titles we already had. On the other hand... it fills the little gaps in story, it adds nice details and touch to the origin of Higaarans (you wont hear of them in HW:DoK and I won't spoil it). It has some good moments, but lacks the depth of the other HW games. Four stars it is then... but I would lower it to 75% for kind of missed potential. Nevertheless, I do recommend the game, especialy to HW franchise fans - not for depth of gameplay, but for the story. Nice game, worth of play.

Отлично

Финал оборван, а игра топ, стратегия с хорошим сюжетом. Как по мне лучше космической саги, в плане управления так точно.
