What players say
It takes a little to get the controls, but it's full of action, a bit strategic and nicely explosive ;) It even runs under Linux Mint (22.3 Zena currently...)

Dunno if it's the complexity or simply nostalgia but I love that game. Imagine TIberian Sun's mood with talent trees for each unit type, and multiple armies.
Earth 2160 , on its own, is a broken vestige of an RTS from the mid-2000s with units that difficult to distinguish from another without microscope, unofficial patches to get the video game to operate relatively smoothly on modern devices, terrible voice acting and dialogue, and crackbrained Friendly AI that will allow enemies to mow them down due to the building they are hunkered down in lowering their firing range...
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
