    "Solid" is one of those terrible damning-with-faint-praise words which will have anyone cringing but it's the one that applies. It's a well-built, well-made, well-designed well-solid RTS, and of its type, one of the finest of the year.

    Its updated graphics and method of control breathes some new life into a well-worn building-conquest genre, even if the mission types are the same as most other RTS titles on the market.

    Solid. It’s neither here nor there, it’s not trying to do anything radical over the original Kohan and it doesn’t mess up any of the advances it does make. An overall well-realised RTS.

    It is also diminished by the inability to keep the results you've tallied during a mission; namely the veteran status of your officers and soldiers.

    Being quite simple and with a short learning curve, it's mainly focused on players who are new to the strategy genre. Micromanagement can scare off a fresh gamer, but it can really make the difference when it comes to hardcore strategy fans.

    Mediocre presentation also holds it back a bit, but Kohan II is otherwise a solid and unique strategy game.

    The game is interesting and challenging. the AI is very well programmed: it uses various tactics and maneuvering to beat you. The game is The game is interesting and challenging. the AI is very well programmed: it uses various tactics and maneuvering to beat you. The game is polished and runs very well on an average machine. The only minor problem is that sometimes matches take 1,5 or 2 hours to finish. My personal mark is 82/100. Timegate, you have done a good work!… Full Review »

Beautiful graphics, very detailed. A lot of love and care has gone into it. However, the slow/chunky scrolling can be quite a pain in the .... 2. The four races are quite different and each has its unique flair. 3. More strategy in this one than in any other RTS I played (except Kohan I) - this includes Blitzkrieg, WC3, Starcraft, Ground Control. 4. GREAT SOUND - both effects and music. 5. Cool, convincing gameworld (A LOT BETTER than WC3) 6. This is not a title driven by a popular franchise but rather a title driven by its depth of gameplay and multiplayer fun/challenge. 7. Help timegate and give them some money by buing it - its a small developer doing great things for the PC-community. Oliver … Full Review »

    Beware, the game secretly installs malware - SecuROM. It is likely to cause problems with your computer and is almost impossible to remove.
