April 2025
I am giving this a qualified recommendation because it was a great game back in the day and played well on a Windows 10 machine with a 1080p monitor. However, regardless of what this store page says it does not appear to be fully remastered to work with modern systems nor does it seem to have support for modern screen resolutions (unless the store page was written a decade ago). The game starts but only the top left of the menu appears. I have tried the F11 trick, editing the options file, etc. and none of that resolves the issue. The game simply is unplayable on a Windows 11 machine with a 2K monitor.

+ Great graphics for the time of development and release + Spectacular gameplay moments, triggering identification with the situation and characters + Requires strategical and tactical capabilities, especially with regard to attack direction and timing (e.g. variable armor strength of armored vehicles). Rushing into battle without coordination, a bad unit composition and choice of equipment results in failure, even against weaker opponents and AI.

If you like hardcore, oldschool RTS, with NO base management, but developing units, this one is for you. It's an old game, but runs smoothly, the resolution is ok :) Finally found a gem, what has a proper single player mode, with story and everything.
