    Beneath a simple shell, there’s a playground of warfare that thoroughly detracts from boredom. And while it may not be a graphical marvel, 8-Bit Armies easily employs more fun factor than some of its graphically-demanding peers. If Petroglyph can build on its factions, I don’t see why it can’t renew the foundations of a neglected genre.

    8 Bit Armies is a charming cartoon-like RTS game that offers a good challenge. It can be unfair at times due to the enemy having advanced tech, larger forces, and even nukes. Planning and strategizing is necessary, and fills you with pride when successful. Unfortunately it seems as if the multiplayer lobbies are empty.

    Good idea but bad graphics, poor level design and nasty sound effects. Would any one actually like to make a decent game? I CAN help.

Dune, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun - I consider the most hot RTS in history. Red Alert 2 passed 100 times, it’s a pity that now it does not work very well on my Mac. What was my surprise when I saw the same scheme of the game, from the same developers, and even on the PS4. You are best! Thank you awesome! I didn’t regret spending 1000 rubles even once) The game most of all copies the mechanics of Tiberian Sun, with the exception of pumping units, well, besides this, in addition to the simplified graphics, some more points were simplified - the choice of units and buildings became poorer, there is no scenario and video, but that's all it doesn’t bother to enjoy the game) There are two warring factions with their buildings, units and even a superweapon, there is a scrum and network game mode, and most importantly the game process is exactly the same as in the good old Tiberian Sun Firestorm and Red Alert 2, the soundtrack is probably closer to Red Aler2 series. I note that in the version for PS4 there is a population limit of 100 units, I don’t know if it is on a PC, but before in such games I did not meet any restrictions at all. In general, I advise everyone!

    Являюсь фанатом всех игр серии Command & Conquer и Westwood. Dune, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun - считаю самыми шикарными RTS за всю историю. Red Alert 2 перепроходил раз 100, жаль сейчас на моём маке он работает не очень хорошо. Какого же было моё удивление когда я увидел ту же схему игры, от тех же разработчиков, да ещё и на PS4. Вы лучшие! Спасибо оромное! Не пожалел потраченных 1000р ни разу) Игра больше всего копирует механику Tiberian Sun, за исключением прокачки юнитов, ну и помимо этого, кроме упростившейся графики, упростились ещё некоторые моменты - выбор юнитов и строений стал беднее, нет сюжета и заставок, но это всё вообще не мешает получать удовольствие от игры) Есть две враждующие фракции со своими строениями, юнитами и даже супероружием, есть режим схватки и сетевой игры, а главное процесс игры точно такой же как в старых добрых Tiberian Sun Firestorm и Red Alert 2, саундтрек ближе наверное к серии Red Aler2. Отмечу что в версии для PS4 есть ограничение по популяции в 100 единиц, на пк не знаю есть ли оно, но раньше в таких играх не встречал ограничений вообще. В общем советую всем!    … Full Review »
