    As it stands, Ashes of the Singularity feels like little more than a tech demo of Stardock's new Oxide engine.

    Overall, Ashes isn’t bad, it’s just very plain. Gorgeous, but plain. There’s nothing here that hasn’t been done before and done better. [Single-player review]

    In my opinion this is undoubtedly one of the best RTS games in many years if you like skirmish and multiplayer games. A game that isIn my opinion this is undoubtedly one of the best RTS games in many years if you like skirmish and multiplayer games. A game that is continually updated and devs that are serious about their game. A lot of strategy and a lot of eye candy. I have previously played a lot of Sup Com, FA and Planetary Annihilation. I have played Ashes about 90+ hours.… Full Review »
