What players think
The recurring themes across 218 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I feel in love with the campaign in this game: it was original, fun, like something I have never played before, with a really interesting setting.
If you like good old games, if you want to play strategy game where loss of even one character makes your game much harder, if you like interesting setting for a story and enjoyable gameplay - you should definitely give Original War a try!
Since getting it on steam it has gone through several updates not only fixing issues but also updating some graphics, such as but not limited to the main menu upgrades, and even added more achievements. it did also fix bugs but i abused most of them so i didnt mind them being there :P
And of course, again, the modding (and multiplayer), and if that wasn't enough: The great friends I made along the way!
The gameplay, the characters, the plot and genre, the music, even the sound effects, the graphics of the terrains, units, the customizability, the modding.
Over the years the jank parts of it also got ironed out and it's a higly polished, moddable game now (with workshop support!!!), with modernized graphics options, new interface, modern controls...
