   Crazy fun. only gave it a nine because it's a little bit clunky when you first pick it up and the sheer number of things in the game can be a tad bit intimidating but that fades fast. Once you get used to the UI and controls you'll fall in love with them. Once you get a handle on it it's insanely fun with rewarding gameplay and lots of interesting strategies to use and even before you do it's a joy to explore all that this game has to offer. It's rare that games like this can be fun while you're losing but I can say that when I am losing I often have a smile on my face because of the rush you feel when trying desperately to survive; it's like nothing else. The ability to terraform adds a whole other level of strategy to the matches that's just insane, like raising a platform to build your radar on so it can see over obstacles. Could not recommend more!… Expand

The UI has spoiled me to the point that most other RTS can feel frustratingly difficult to control. The matches are so watchable that I'll stay up late watching the matchmaker beyond when I am awake enough to be playing myself.… Expand

   Man, what a game! It's freakin' free! It has so much content that you would need to play thousands upon thousands of hours to even scrape the surface!

   I make maps for the Spring engine. Many of which are featured in this game, so I am yet another contributor to this volunteer megaproject.I make maps for the Spring engine. Many of which are featured in this game, so I am yet another contributor to this volunteer megaproject.
   
   Zero-K is my favorite RTS of all time. It takes all the best parts of Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander style games, and throws out the need for extensive eco basebuilding or teching up.
   
   It's big on fun, and with a permanent pricetag of $0, you may as well give it a try. What have you got to lose?… Expand

   ZK is basically a game from a parallel universe where the RTS genre decided to spend more effort on actual gameplay, simulation, advancedZK is basically a game from a parallel universe where the RTS genre decided to spend more effort on actual gameplay, simulation, advanced control, and unit intelligence than it currently does, at expense of graphics. It compares to other games in the genre kind of like Dwarf Fortress compares to Settlers; and just like DF redefines how you think about deep simulation, ZK redefines how you think about RTS.… Expand

   Completely unbalanced game for air players. For all the raves about it being balanced, it absolutely impossible to use air factories asCompletely unbalanced game for air players. For all the raves about it being balanced, it absolutely impossible to use air factories as anything except secondary factories. The developers are extremely biased against air play. If an air player discovers a technique that makes the air factory or gunship factory even close to balanced, the developers will hit it with a nerf hammer quick fast and in a hurry.… Expand
