If you like Duke Nukem 3D Atomic edition then you will surely like this game as well. It feels and plays like Duke Nukem. Actually it feels like a chinese version of Duke Nukem or should I say, it feels like an events that happened at the same time when the aliens invasion happaned in Duke Nukem. The game is very good. If you like mad action games with some humor, than this one is for you. The only problem is, old style controls but its not a problem to get used to it. Anyway, the game is currently free, so you should try and see for yourself if this game is for you. I definetelly recommend it to all old style shooter fans. And yeah, more than 5 stars to this game and a big thanks to GOG for adding it.
O.K. where should I start? This game is a true open world RP Action game which allows you to do anything you want. Unlike other open world games this one is not using the famous formula of creating 3 - 5 types of activities, multiply them 300 times and spread all over the map. So if you want to finish the game 100%, you are ending up doing the same things over and over again until you're bored out of your mind. The developers of this game were very creative and manged to create a lot of complitely different side missions, so the game just holds you without a problem. It is so good that you really can't stop playing it. There is a different factions in this game and each faction have their very interesting side missions. So game keeps offer something interesting until the very end. Now about some technical advices and problems. When the game starts the sounds an the graphics is set to minimum. So to get sound working, you need to enter the sound options, adjust the sounds sliders and press the "Save" button. Because the adjustments are not working on the fly but only after you press the "Save" button. The same is for graphics. Enter "Video" menu, adjust resolution and look for "Graphics" and "Effects" on the left menu. You need to enter the both and set everyting on maxmum. About the graphics. The graphical engine is old and it cannot offer a fancy "Far cry - like" graphics. But it really doesn't matter, because the game is so good and fun that a slightly crooked graphics doesn't makes any bad. About the game bugs. There is a lot of bugs in both GOG and Steam versions. Some of them makes side missions progress imposible. The main story line however can be finished without a problem. But I strongly recommend checking the GOG and Steam forums for the solution. Because the game can be fixed in a 5 minutes. Don't start the game without fixing it, if you want have maximum fun! This game is amazing and it deserves even 10 stars, to bad its not using CryEngine.
I'm not a guy who likes strategy games, but this game is just amazing. First thing is, this game is a very good and solid prequel to the original "Homeworld". It is clearly seen that the guys from "Blackbird interactive" are really liked working on this game and they put their soul in it. The campaign storyline is very interesting, even that I already knew from the start what will be in outcome (because I played the original "Homeworld") I still enjoyed the campaign. All the cutscenes and videos in between the levels are looks just as a good Sci Fi movie. The in-game graphics is beautiful. The idea with all these huge machines traveling desert, is brilliant. Overall it is a very good real time strategy game by its own, and a very good prequel to an original "Homeworld". So for people who never played the original "Homeworld" I would recommend to start with this game. Because first thing, this is a prequel, so why not starting from the beginning? The second thing is. This game have much easier controls because the units are moving on "X" and "Y" axes only like in most strategy games, while in the original "Homeworld" the "Z" axis is also used, because the original game set in space, so the ships are not binded to the ground and can move in any direction, which makes it harder to control. I will give this game a 5 stars. And I would definitely recommend it even to a people like me who don't like much the RTS games. This game is just unique Sci Fi peace of art.
