    While interesting in theory, a clunky interface and lack of immersive elements keeps Radio General from realizing its full potential.

  1. Both games boast shortish campaigns, modest price tags, and occasionally shoot themselves in the feet with lines of B movie dialogue. Both bring down The Helicopter Fallacy with a flurry of tracer-laced MG fire, and deserve our admiration, gratitude and patronage for doing so.

    Tl;dr: Wonderful historical setting complemented by solid gameplay, and speech recognition that ACTUALLY WORKS. Visuals could use more polish,Tl;dr: Wonderful historical setting complemented by solid gameplay, and speech recognition that ACTUALLY WORKS. Visuals could use more polish, and occasionaly buggy messages.

    Pros: The historical photos, videos and documents are WONDERFUL. I love the propaganda-ey narrator. The gameplay is simple, but quite engaging. Flanking, digging in, finding lost units is fun, and most missions appear to have several possible approaches. Leveling up and renaming units is fun so far, I like the idea of leadership personalities, but some of them don't seem that important (what does camouflage even do?).

    Cons: The visuals are strictly OK - could've used more polish. Voice-acting is generally good, but sometimes sounds stilted.

    Summary: This game is a rough gem with lots of love put into it, but it's obvious Radio Commander had more visual polish.
