Pretty good campaign-focused RTS / RTT. The campaign is pretty interesting so far, with persistence from mission to mission, branching paths, interesting trade-offs to choose between, etc. Has active pause / tactical pause, which is kinda of a must in the genre for me. Also, made me watch Terminator: Dark Fate, which I never planned to watch before. I found it not anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be. But that's off-topic.
There is no fate but what we make. Terminator: Dark Fate timeline should be absolute garbage. And yet........ Its clear this game was made by people who have a lot of love for this franchise. The fact that they have created such a compelling story out the ashes of nothing makes me want to yell at Hollywood "SLITHERINE MADE THIS IN A CAVE...... WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS". I dont know, by the end of the campaign, the main character had grown on me, i actually cared about my "resistance" and i even strongly suspect i had a cameo from a character from the previous good timeline. (Pay real good attention to how they describe a certain "Digital Storm"). This game is clearly made with love.
Too complicated, however if you like Terminator and strategy games, this is game for you. Everything is made SO GOOD! For example, you have to attach and detach trailers... feels like trucking game. Also a lot of time is wasted on customizations, you have a lot of units and you can customize every single one of them. Micromanaging is taking the pleasure away. Units movement, explosions, sound, all that is PERFECT. Story is cool, too. My favorite strategy game but I think it can improve. Also, it needs more factions and way more skirmish maps.
60 hours, all 3 dlc's bought and a couple Late nights later i have completed the game. Perhaps not 100% completion but enough time to figure the mechanics from my experience in the Men of war games. And the completion of all campaigns Easiest dlc? Legion Hardest campaign? Base Game Most boring? Uprising General Thoughts: Worst part of the game in my opinion is Balancing. The jump between medium to hard is... Significant to say the least. And it doesn't help that the player seems to become massively Disadvantaged when it is increased, namely in your troops performance. I played all 3 campaigns on Medium, and i cannot fathom my sanity loss should i play on hard or all the way to "realism", (though i may try). I will say the game (on sale) goes for a fair price, including the dlc. The content present is enough for anyone who is knew to the RTS and Wargame genre, whilst not being as in-depth as time proven classics are, (men of war, Company of heroes, Supreme commander, etc) it has enough present to keep you entertained for ATLEAST 60 hours. DLC Review Lets start out with the worst publicly received dlc, Uprising. Uprising starts off easily enough as you control a sector, replenish resources, recruit units, and conquer other territories as a larger Army Unit. However after about the 4th Territory you may start feeling the boredom ensue. While every Sector offers differing rewards (some repetitive), and a different map's featured exclusively FROM the base game Campaign, It ultimately feels as a repetitive Base game Travel. Overall the Resistance DLC feels rushed, and very very simple in what it offers. We Are Legion This DLC makes the player a part of Legion. The overall mechanics remain similar, however strategy, becomes very important. As you can lose a mission Very easily if you mismanage your objectives and priorities. The mechanical side is refreshingly different, being that you have a VERY finite amount of resources at your immediate disposal Per mission, which can be improved as per your performance, and you can only transfer a couple units to and from said missions. That being said the general Strategy for legion is namely Mobile Warfare, as you'll discover in the very first mission. Every mission proceeds very similar to the last besides that of the Infiltration one. Overall We Are Legion felt very refreshing after slugging through the base game missions for... around 40 hours, Speaking of- Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance Base game is overall Nice. Having spent roughly 40 hours (may be less) to complete the campaign, it is far to say you will quickly, learn how to best use your units, as you will be forced into many Save - Reloads Because the vehicles and squads you have, become immensely important VERY fast. So much so that should you lose to many of them, the proceeding missions become near outright impossible - Insanely difficult. And without Properly supporting your Main offensive and Defensive units (Tanks, IFV's, ATGM Squads, Artillery, ETC) you will quickly realize if you haven't already how VERY important they are to your performance per mission. The Base game in my opinion while being Difficult in many missions will make you appreciate the ability to recuperate after every mission. (Pro 30-40 Hour gamer tip, for the love of god Get yourself Artillery as fast as possible, and at least 4 ATGM squads, they WILL save your progress) After all this is said and done the game is good, the dlc's are OK. Pick this up on sale and you'll have a relatively good weekend albeit frustrating to the lessons needed to be learned. Should you buy this over other rts games? I personally recommend playing Men of war Assault squad, or company of heroes. As they and MANY classic rts games will feature far more content than what is made today in the same genre. This game however i'd recommend to those who are wanting something newer to try out.
I've just finished the human campaign and just about to start the Legion campaign. This is one of the best RTS's i've ever played. Severely underrated and i'm so confused as to why it doesn't get spoken about more. This is genuinely great. As a long time fan of RTS's from the original Warcrafts, Starcraft, KKnD and odd-balls like Dark Reign, this stands strong. It has some pretty hectic difficulty spikes, but aside from that it's really good. If you can handle the, at times, extreme difficulty, you will enjoy it a lot. It's nothing that being a little save scummy can't fix. I give this, five big booms.
