The control mechanism and its efficient usage present the thin line between victory and failure. In this respect, Z: Steel Soldiers is both very well conceived, and extremely demanding in hardware.
-
While Steel Soldiers has its strengths, the outdated play mechanics and buggy code may frustrate players rather than satisfy them.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.
-
The addictive qualities of "Z" are still there, but the passing years have made the underlying gameplay of Steel Soldiers boring, old and passé.
