Great to relax and listen to the Bible, with the music turned off. I play the battle mode, and just build bases an ships and battle it out. Very very very relaxing. (I used to play the demo years ago, and I'm happy I could find the full game to purchase.)
Ok, the AI is absolutely pants compared to modern RTS, but this is still fun. You can bait the computer easily. Not so fun for Lan battles. Mods aplenty for those wanting to give it a different flavor. The B5 one is my fave,
When I SOMEHOW manage to get the game runnin (be it Campaign or Skirmish), it's perfect, the beautiful nostalgia trip I wanted.
However, before that, I face a bug where the Main Menu and all other menus I manage to open FREEZE UP THEIR IMAGES!
They're still functioning, but I can't see WHAT is happening. I click on the Campaign option and it opens up the Campaign menu, BUT I CAN'T SEE IT, because the image on my screen is still of the Main Menu I was previously! Even though I'm ACTUALLY no longer on that one!
I don't know why this bug is happening, nor if it's normal to happen on Windows 10 and above, but if it is, then I can give a higher rate than 2 Stars.
I'm sorry, it breaks my heart, but this kind of bug on the Menus is just unacceptable! You have to either go around clicking based on memory, or hit the Windows key to pull out, enter Armada II's window again and THEN it will show up the correct Menu image! FREAKING. NIGHTMARE! T_T
