One of the kind RTS. I havent found anything like that. Great combination of base building, research and battle. RPG elements of the characters. Engaging story with multiple endings. Absolutely ahead of its time. Of course graphics are dated but it is an absolute gem and it would deserve a remake or another instalment.
Don't pay too much attention to my playtime. I was one of the lucky people who owned this game long before Steam became popular, back when it came on CD-ROM. Original War is a fantastic game with a unique story and gameplay. It gave me the same special feeling I got from SpellForce 1, where your companions truly matter and become an important part of the experience. The voice acting ranges from good to excellent depending on the language version you choose. The story is unlike anything else, and I don't want to spoil it, but it's worth playing for the story alone. The game features two main campaigns: an American campaign and a Russian campaign. With mods installed, you can even access additional content and campaigns. The difficulty isn't overwhelming, but some of the later missions can be quite challenging and may require multiple attempts, especially if, like me, you grow attached to your squad and hate losing any of them. There are also RPG elements. Your teammates have individual stats and can develop skills across four different specialization paths, which adds depth and makes every soldier feel valuable. If you can pick this game up during a sale, don't hesitate. It's a unique and highly enjoyable experience that still holds up today.
I remember I've played this game when it was released, when I was child. I've played it now. Nothing changed. Graphics are still amazing, the balance rts/strategy still does the work. It is a gem, and a proof that games can live longer than few years if made properly and with heart. One of the best dubbings I've ever heard. Try it!
