A combat intensive 3D RTS that plays fast and smart, with clever AI and an engaging story propelled campaign.
-
Some of the ideas in this game are really good, it's just too bad that the execution of said ideas wasn't a little better and a little more time had been put into creating factions with differences (both sides use the same units).
-
GamePowerThe game is fun; its combination of humorous action and territory-grabbing resource management make for interesting gaming. Unfortunately, I couldn't help feeling an overwhelming sense of deja vu.
-
While Steel Soldiers has its strengths, the outdated play mechanics and buggy code may frustrate players rather than satisfy them.
-
If you want the emphasis in real-time strategy to be on "strategy" over "real-time," you'll probably want to look elsewhere. As an old-fashioned and predictable RTS, Steel Soldiers succeeds, but as anything more, it merely scrapes by.
-
It just reminds me of a few other strategy games from a few years ago, which no one plays anymore. This concept has already been done too many times.
-
Most gamers won't be able to think straight, let alone execute the tons of mouse clicks necessary to keep from being overwhelmed.
