and that's maybe the reason I love this one so much and hate other ones (even latest/modern ones). I really appreciate ppl behind patches of it, but still, it crashes too much often on Windows 10 :/
Jydge is a really cool game to spend in short sessions.
I've really wanted to enjoy this game, but it's a big too slow for me - maybe I've expected it to be more like Mech Commander 1 & 2 like game (real-time instead of turn-based) but I don't know. The graphics are astonishing, I really wish there was a mod that would introduce real-time gameplay to fully like it.
This game is a gem. The atmosphere, the variety of ways you can progress through level, the story. And this yellow-ish art style everywhere. Gosh this game is really fun. You can play it the way you want at every particular moment - you can hide in air shafts and disarm enemies from hideouts, or you can storm the places with guns & granades. Even though I'm not a fan at all of the first Deus Ex games, I do really love this one.
I really like the other review here - it's really like "mechwarrior made a baby with diablo" - it's very in point, but not 100%. Game is really fun, but only for the first 0.5 - 1 hour of play, then it gets really repetitive. Various vehicles doesn't really help, as all levels are very similar to each other, there's no much variety from neon/night/garden city scapes.. I wish there was more types of them available.
I do really remember the exact times when Messiah was out - all the paper magazines were reviewing it - I was amazed about the graphics at that time, and always wanted to try it out. Unfortunately I wasn't able to even get the DEMO version of it. And here we are now, I've finally bought it to try it out. O M G controls are terrible. I've tried to remap it but it doesn't really help - weird 'way' of doing things is really annoying, I've tried to progress in this game but it lacks of any joy during the playtime.
This game is awesome. Played in demo as a kid, and spent whole year saving money for the full-version of it (around $50, which in Poland was a pretty huge amount of money for like a 10-12 years old kid). Unfortunately I was too slow and the game was no longer in any of the games shop offers (had not internet at the time to check online offers). But finally it is on GOG (signed a GOG's petition to add this one!). What is this game about? There are 3 fractions to choose (very similar, but has its own unique pros and cons), where you can build regular units like tanks etc. but also you can build huge mechs called Combots. These can be built in various combinations (tons of fun!): torso, legs and 2x different arm types. You can stole broken elements from enemies and then copy them for your own units. There are also 3 layers of battle zone - land (all units can enter it), underground (no combots) and sky/orbit (all units that can fly (also some combots!) or can be teleported to flying asteroids in that layer. This game is a lot of fun! I recommend it to all RTS & mecha fans out there! :)
