Huge nostalgia, but enough here to keep new generations entertained with classic gameplay.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are clear, simple and do the job, displaying the 100’s of Unit types possible to buy / fight clearly.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
But the game really redeems itself in the final two missions where the difficulty goes from medium to quite difficult (expect a lot of your expert troops to start being killed off towards the end to make it a brutal final few scenarios).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 78 sampled reviews raised it
Listen to it on YouTube if you haven’t heard it; to me it’s a 10/10 soundtrack, up there with the best of PC games.
