This isn't StarCraft 2. But pretty good all the same.
The Novus and the Hierarchy are undoubtedly the more attractive of the 3 factions since they play so differently.
It lacks many well known RTS controls. eg: waypoints and the queue structure.
The units are created as individuals...
There is a cap of just 90!! this is 2008!
But... imagine seeing that beast of a walker crossing a gorge! Its lovely to look at and well.. a little behind the times. Needs a huge patch of a solid expansion to fix those issues.
The camera was a problem... but when i downloaded the new patch; that got fixed. I can see 2 walkers on the screen at one time which is a big improvement. I would like to zoom out like we could in Empires at War however.(since its the same engine... i wonder why i cant do that right now!)
So... its a solid game. But not worth the price maybe since quality is a bit off.
But still while you are waiting for SC2... might as well check this out.
