A surprisingly high rating considering that almost all comments are negative. It's an almost good game, but with AI that is lower than necessary and pretty slow at times. 2.5 stars
Generally it's a top game. I'm surprised it isn't featured. Despite the comments, it's easily as good as OE2, and a lot longer. Just sitting back and watching two races battle it out you can see how well ballanced the game is, which is impressive considering how different each race is.
Only a couple of problems - Pincer is impossible to win, for obvious reasons, and the game basically comes to an end when you reach level 8 and there are only pincer maps available. I do like the "New" feature though that resets random maps. Nice idea.
And there is the classic OE lack of information. I'm playing a campaign without even knowing if there is a last level.
But whatever, it's one of the best games on the site.
Made it to level 6 (just by spamming missile turrets against lvl 5 boss)
I'm guessing I'm screwed now with no miners (fighter unit). Lvl 5 was almost impossible without them.
Haven't got the correct combination to defeat the first alien race yet and I have a feeling I see now there are lives in this game..?? If that's true then it's a dirty trick.
I have to say that lvl 86 difficulty is as easy as everything other level so far.
The repair turret seems way overpowered. Actually everything except fighter class seems overpowered.
To be fair.. the unavoidable kill die kill die kill die gameplay that a lot of people are complaining about is essentially the same in ALL "upgrades" games.
