For those on MacOSX, you are better off buying this title on Steam. They can't even be bothered to create an .app for the game, the installer dumps the files in a folder after which you are supposed to open terminal and launch the game using commands.
0/10
I feel like the game had a solid start but then devs lost interest and left an unfinished product. Some parts of the game are even unplayable (including the campaign scenario) which left me rather disappointed and after a few days of playing I never wanted to come back.
The title states it. I bought this SOLELY for multiplayer but even while having Galaxy running, even having installed NG through Galaxy, it insists that I am "not connected". Has been through several updates since then and also through two Galaxy updates, no change. No version of Galaxy, even the old 1.2.x, has worked. All other titles multiplay just fine, and obviously my internet connection is working, otherwise Galaxy would have failed to download this in the first place. Changing the region ingame only makes things worse because it gets stuck in a server finding loop and greys out even the singleplayer "Bifrost" campaigns until the game is restarted. There is no meaningful error message, no log, nothing to help me diagnose or remedy or at least point out the cause of the issue. Very bad coding practice, makes debugging near impossible.
This is on Windows 7 which is listed as being supported.
-2 stars for not working MP
-1 star for lack of error diagnosis
-2 stars for requiring Galaxy at all
Zero stars in total, but I seem to have to give at least one, so
+1 start because it at least starts.
