SunAge: Battle for Elysium

I played SunAge back in 2007 when it came out, I picked it up because graphics looked cool, controls were weird, but it made this RTS unique.

The plot is fairly boilerplate, but is well executed in the cutscenes, and despite its "stereotypical" framing, is well written and an engaging experience.

The combat is also very exciting; the varying units make for challenging, but not overly complex gameplay and the multiple resources and base building mechanic make for an interesting management mechanic which is similar to Age of Empires or Starcraft games (with a few differences.) Major good thing: I have not run into any strange bugs or game-breaking issues since playing the game.

I gave this game a fair chance, and it started off good: the isometric graphics are obviously glorious, the story is simple but engaging enough, voice acting is okay, I even liked the the half-baked comic cutscenes where the main character looks like a different person in every panel.

Combat is fun and fluid with just the right amount of Micro IMO.
