As I remember the game, its a pretty simple straight forward game. You have to save a supercomputer from a virus, by going through a virtual reality through simulated time. And between the fights you have to solve some puzzles now and then. The graphics were a stunner when the game came out, so if some thinks this game is short and repetitive, then I guess the graphics have been completely lost on them. And I found it very fun to bash through enemies with weapons from that time period. And later in the game you get more advanced and ranged weapons, making you have to change tactics. The close range weapons are a bit repeteive, by they do have different ranges and attacks. And when it comes to games being short, I find it much better than when some games have 30 hours of game time, but 25 hours of repetition without anything new in it. This game as I remember it, always bring something new every step of the way. Not yards of 3D models that you have seen 50 times before.
I remember playing this game and it deserved more attention than it got. It measures up with C&C and Red Alert, even Starcraft a bit. Setting it in a Sci Fi future with powerful units in your arsenal with futuristic abilities. Compared to other classic games here on GoG I wont give it 5 stars, but thats only because some games are just above and beyond usual rating systems. This is still a solid game worth trying, and when it comes to RTS games, this is probably one of the best on this site. Especially when it comes to Sci Fi RTS games.
I love this game, I had looked for a remake of Master of Magic for years, since to me it was far better than Civilization and other turn based strategy games. With the vast number of spells there is so much to do in this game. Unfortunately it does not really have all that Master of Magic has before the expansion is added to it, which adds spells like create magic item. I really like making powerful magic items that makes my heroes near immortal. If the expansion is also put up on GoG, I will need to get these games.
