Needs some more lively animations. I have fond memories of the last starship trooper RTS though so I'll check it out probably Smile
It seems to have a dynamic campaign of sorts which I usually like

More "They are billions", "Conan Unconquered" etc. I am guessing.

It's not really fun and it's barely acceptable as an "RTS". It's more a tower defence than anything.

No doubt they'll get the humour and gore wrong.

Slitherine? They make excel spreadsheets - not games. They didn't even have the decency to use the original score in the trailer - this is going to end up like every single sequel to the movie - absolute crap.

OST
 Spoiler:
 


That's what you use in the trailer to get people excited, not whatever the fuck they settled on.

That was the most epic thing of that entire movie, hell, the entire franchise.

would have loved this game right after the movie release lol, now it looks like its from that era , just released 20 years to late roflol, i had to check if this wasnt some necro thread from 2000

i bet there is better starcraft 2 mods out then this blocky shit

i wonder if even the younger generation has seen the movies as they make america a laughing stock, its probably not on tv in the us, considering its mature and unfiltered topics

All those mature ratings are a joke anyway. 90% of the teens watch PG-R movies or play such games either because of their parents or they find a workaround, especially when you can easily download or watch almost anything on the internet if you just click an imaginary "I am 18" button.

I picked this up a little while ago, this is a pretty solid game. Definitely a little budget constrained but you can tell they put some love into this game.

Pro's:
- I recently watched the movies even the crap ones, and every unit is there across all the movies in both factions, really cool attention to detail.
- It's a pretty tough game but not too bad once you've mastered the units (playing on 5 star).
- micro oriented RTS, you don't build but call in timed re-inforcements, if you manage your squads well you don't need to spam re-inforcements.

Con's:
- Unit selection is a little bit clunky.
- The voice-acting just isn't quiet there, its okay but just doesn't quiet hit the mark.
- Lacks the heavy satire of the first (the third movie tries a little bit as well).
- Scorpions are OP and will randomly wreck your whole squad.

Nah Kanes Wrath sucked balls for a far too exhaustive list to get into here. Wasn't the production building on wheels, and you just spammed tanks in a death ball?

---

This is a well balanced game, focused on micro managing 3-10 units depending on the map. Squad composition is important depending what your facing. Map elevation and LOS play a significant part in strengthening or weakening your chances.

There isn't really a macro component, re-enforcing has some nuance to it. You can't just reinforce constantly at any time. If your guys are getting obliterated you can't re-enforce fast enough to maintain ground. Re-enforcement drop ships can only land at bases or at places you designate with a special tier unit ability or radio team. It takes time for units to get where you want them so you have be strategic about spending one of units on a radio guy to drop re-enforcement close to the battle line etc.

Campaign is long, i think 20 missions. Also WAB ^ is playing the game very poorly above if you look at that video. Units can block other units firing lines, having all those troops in an RTS ball like he does in that video is killing his damage output. If they have a Red cross-hair, they are being ineffective.
