Nostalgia for people who remember this game, It can be a little bad with path finding, but one of the best old school Rts games, plan and move straight away, or it can be punishable for those who like to sit a wait

This game is not perfect, had few unexpected crashes. I dont know what port is it, Ive been playing on PS1 back in days and it had different UI (better before). But even now, I could finish and really enjoy this game. Kinda short, but gameplay is very unique for rts. Worth buying

One of the best strategies I've ever played—if not the best. Unlike others, Z forces you to make decisions rather than just sitting in a dark corner, waiting for your resources to outgrow the opponent's. No, you have to move, face your fears head-on, and stay in constant motion. It is brilliant in all aspects. It was incredible in 1997, and it still is in 2025. Thanks guys.

For nostalgia enjoyers. For anyone new controls are god tier bad, multiple displays fucks up mouse, couple crashes, instant 0 to 100 gameplay afk first 15 sec and it snowballs out your control but the simple gameplay is fun. Throwing one dollar on sale reasonable, one can only hope it goes to the actually devs.

A classic RTS from the mid-to-late 1990s. Does it hold it today? Somehow. The controls are a bit "special" sometimes but it is overall still a fun bout. The pixel graphics hold up quite nicely and the chaotic energy of the game is still alive and well. Get it in a sale.
