What players say
this game is very fun brings back old memories. but unfortunately it full of bugs i play it with a friend it kinda hilarious because of its bugs
As a big fan of the originals game I was not sure at start but after finishing the game I had a lot of Fun I recommand but still think it misses a little something I can't tell What.
One of the worst control schemes I've seen in a game: - "classic" mode, maybe it makes sense to people who are used to the old games but for me it was unworkable - "RTS" mode is an exercise in frustration. Right click moves. Except when it deselects your character instead. Left click moves sometimes too, but rarely when you want it to. - It's super unclear what, if anything, is actually going to happen when I press...
