April 2025
Once there was a Company called EA. They said "Well... We have this real time strategy Brand.. Command and Something. No one plays this old stuff anymore. Slipgate Ironworks said "Hold my beer. What was cool at the original game...". And they recreated it. They had not the rights to name them GDI of NOD but their writers were able to write an equally good Scenario. Slipgate Ironworks said: "We need a mission briefing where people talk direct to you." It was done. And it was even better. It´s interactive and feels more immersive. They had no campy Full Motion Video but they also found a good solution here, that works as well. They also made beautiful prerendered cutscenes. To finish the icing on the cake they had the same grudgy industrial Soundtrack style. They even hired the original composer for a bunch of tracks. And whoosh. Magic happened. The game is fun. It´s a must play. Sometimes fairy tales become reality. And the moral: Never throw away good things or brands because they are old when they worked very well in the past. And for you reading this: What are you waiting for? Click on buying. And pick the Deluxe edition with the awesome soundtrack. We want a Sequel or a story mission DLC ASAP. So show Slipgate Ironworks the love they deserve.

It is what it says on the tin, Not GDI vs. Not NOD over Not Tiberium. A nice sprinkle of over-the-topness in cutscenes, units, and gameplay has made for a great spiritual successor to the old titles and, hopefully, a promise for an RTS classic resurgence. Not played any multiplayer but the campaign has been good fun.

GDI vs NOD is back, renamed and reskinned. It's good old CnC plus some modern features like units get experince and you can upgrade your armies with perks. Totally recomment at release price.

If you are a fan of Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, then you will enjoy this game a lot. The units, music, and gameplay are on point! Two factions at the moment but there is a third being released down the road.

So far I can say this is what I wanted for a long time. Good campaign/skirmish game. It does feel like "old" new Red alert game from Westwood. Thank you for making this.
