    I am a fan of all the games in the Command & Conquer and Westwood series. 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 regretI am a fan of all the games in the Command & Conquer and Westwood series. 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!    … Expand

    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.

    Old school Real Time Strategy returns in the form of 8-Bit Armies and it absolutely delivers on the nostalgia factor. Simplistic visuals and gameplay really don't detract from the large amounts of fun to be had. Plenty of varied maps and multiple modes offer more than enough content. Online there aren't any competitors however, which makes you get bored relatively quickly. A fun snack, but that's about it.

    Unfortunately 8-Bit Armies’ attempt at console strategy is simplified to the point that it outstays its welcome after a few hours. Whilst the campaign will keep you entertained for a few hours, the multiplayer is too empty to expect any more game time. Perhaps if you have someone who you can rely on to play against it might be worth picking up, but otherwise it’s probably not going to last long enough to be worth it.

    8-Bit Armies does well to tackle the control and interface issues that have marred the genre's translation to consoles. There's some good quality of life considerations that make the bread and butter gameplay enjoyable, if lacking in options. There's plenty of online and offline content but the lack of variety between the factions could lead to a stale, short-lived experience.
