Back in the day I rather liked the game. Overall, I still do. But now on a windows 10 and 11, for me, the game is unplayable on an enjoyable level. I dunno the technicals but missing shots is something that's hugely upregulated on windows 10 and 11. It's probably bug and the missing is so frequent that it makes playing battles as anyone other than the borg (with their overwhelming firepower) a real slog. Sometimes it'll stalemate the battle one on one. Worst case scenario I have to retreat because I just can't deal enough damage. It's not a skill issue. Just too many missed shots and there's no way to counter it. So for that reason, I'd recommend it but with caution.
Back in the days of PS1 I loved this game. One of my faves and funny in the same sort of way that 'worms' is. Honestly, I'd waste entire days making HE pigs using bazookas and rifles and grenades which actually require practice and skill to master. When I found it on GoG I was ecstatic but unfortunately, this game is not being sold on GoG in a playable state, as far as I'm concerned. Not having original code isn't a good enough excuse, if they can't recreate it in a playable sense then players are really only buying it purely as a nostalgia trip (me in other words). That is why it has a one star rating and I am NOT recommending to buy it. My maps are patchy at best, the game is riddled with lag and stuttering plus serious loading issues. It cannot be enjoyably played in my opinion and was no where near ready for a re-release without proper adjustments. Absolutely do not buy this if you value your money even a little bit. Seeing it in my collection only really makes me wish I could actually play it. I really wish I could give it a wholehearted recommendation.
