Once there was a Company called EA. They said "Well... We have this real time strategy Brand.. Command and Something. No one plays this old stuff anymore. Slipgate Ironworks said "Hold my beer. What was cool at the original game...". And they recreated it. They had not the rights to name them GDI of NOD but their writers were able to write an equally good Scenario. Slipgate Ironworks said: "We need a mission briefing where people talk direct to you." It was done. And it was even better. It´s interactive and feels more immersive. They had no campy Full Motion Video but they also found a good solution here, that works as well. They also made beautiful prerendered cutscenes. To finish the icing on the cake they had the same grudgy industrial Soundtrack style. They even hired the original composer for a bunch of tracks. And whoosh. Magic happened. The game is fun. It´s a must play. Sometimes fairy tales become reality. And the moral: Never throw away good things or brands because they are old when they worked very well in the past. And for you reading this: What are you waiting for? Click on buying. And pick the Deluxe edition with the awesome soundtrack. We want a Sequel or a story mission DLC ASAP. So show Slipgate Ironworks the love they deserve.Show moreShow less

I was genuinely looking forward to this game, but after reading the EULA (section 13.5), I'm honestly shocked. The developers have granted themselves permission to: Scan parts of your active RAM while the game is running, Take full-size screenshots of the game client (yep, even if you’ve got private stuff visible), Collect a full list of your installed software, including drivers and OS details, Grab all DLLs tied to the game process, with versions and checksums. And the kicker? They can send all this to third parties. Sure, they say it’s "anonymized", but there’s zero explanation on how, by whom, or whether it’s even GDPR-compliant. This level of invasive data collection is absolutely not okay. I signed up to play a strategy game, not to hand over a blueprint of my system to who-knows-who. Already hit the refund button. If you care even a little about your privacy, you might want to do the same. Sadly, the game was fun! Maybe there will be some changes in the (far) future.Show moreShow less

So far I can say this is what I wanted for a long time. Good campaign/skirmish game. It does feel like "old" new Red alert game from Westwood. Thank you for making this.Show moreShow less

Read the eula linked on the steam store page, especially section 13.5, and notice the additional eula at 13.6. I didn't and played for a bit. the game itself seems fun, but now I'm worried and might refund. They talk about transmitting RAM dumps while the game is running, as well as a bunch of user and system information, for "For the purpose of detection system improvement and elimination of malfunctions and errors in the Game, as well as detecting the use of third-party software resources that affect the game process the User permits and COMPANY has right to automatically collect, store, process, submit to third party for achieving such purpose", which is incredibly broad. I don't understand the GDPR well enough to know if this is even legal, but it seems non-standard, and it WILL catch a lot of personal information, which they then get to sell according to the linked EULA.Show moreShow less

I bought this game, expecting a single player heavy spiritual successor of Command & Conquer; I mean come on... GDI - GDF, Tiberium - Tempest, Construction Yard, Commando unit calling in airstrikes and the list could go on. However what I got is... well, a wavering quality of mishmash, consisting elements from C&C and Starcraft primarily. It tries hard to resurrect those games, but for me, fumbled. First and foremost the game is FAST. Without a speed slider, so you can't really adjust the game speed for your preference. And don't tell me GIT GUD, because there are some overly OP units, which can literally disintegrate your defenses in 3-5 seconds, so if you happen to be in a major maneuver, tough luck. Also, did I mention that this game is fast? Which means that like every 20-30 seconds you get the "Your base is under attack" warning, where you have to immediately focus to that area, because you simply get no indication whatsoever of whether a single infantry walked into your crossfire, or a few major units are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ your turrets. Annoying ♥♥♥♥. What else... Unit pathfinding is abysmal, some units will stuck, while some are going to push others out of crucial areas, e.g. repair AoE. Which may not sound of a big deal, since you can always build some more, but you really can't. I'm closing to the end of the Tempest Brotherhood... erm Dynasty campaign and ♥♥♥♥ my life, the mission design is sometimes annoying as hell. Around third of the missions are either commando ones or you have to get by with limited resources and oh boy, during these missions the game's shortcomings are beaming through. Scripted events, enemy zerg-rushing you with seemingly endless resources, save scumming galore. Meh, this game could have used some additonal playtesting. Going to just abort the Dynasty campaign, let's hope GDF is better. In the favor of this game, sometimes it catches that classic RTS feeling, but the fact is that mainly the only thing it does is to make me want to replay the old C&C games. UPDATE: GDF is not better, same issues. Uninstalled. UPDATE2: I disabled comments because of sporadic morons. I mean if your best argument in the defense of this game is that what kind of games I'm playing / reviewing, then get a life maybe?Show moreShow less
