The remastered edition of Perimeter features significant improvements, including updated textures, better unit balance, and support for modern systems, making it a joy to play again.
The unique gameplay mechanics, such as terrain modification and unit transformation, provide a refreshing experience that sets it apart from typical RTS games.
The game successfully combines nostalgia with modern enhancements, allowing both old fans and new players to enjoy its rich lore and engaging gameplay.

Despite the updates, some old issues persist, such as optimization problems and AI that can be easily manipulated or get stuck.
Certain gameplay elements can be frustrating, including random deaths of cores and defensive structures that sometimes fail to function as intended.
The English translation may miss some of the original lore, which could detract from the experience for players who are familiar with the game's deeper narrative.

The story in "Perimeter" is described as unique and convoluted, benefiting from an unedited narrative that enhances its depth and lore. The remastered version features a "true English translation," allowing players to engage with the rich story while experiencing mission briefings in English text paired with Russian voiceovers. Overall, the immersive storytelling complements the game's original RTS mechanics, which require a puzzle-like approach to certain missions.
- “It's a remastered classic RTS with unique gameplay, lore, and story.”
- “The story is unedited this time, which makes it even stranger and more convoluted.”
- “This version, however, comes with a 'true English translation', which I guess is an acceptable compromise - uncut lore, but mission briefings are in English text with Russian voice, and these are very worth not skipping through, because they're really good.”
- “But anyway, Perimeter is really cool and it can be forgiven if you immerse yourself in the game story.”
