  • story
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is conveyed through a series of 12 challenging missions that require careful micromanagement and strategic planning, with a notable defense mission at an airport standing out as particularly memorable. While the missions are engaging and rewarding, the inability to replay them after completion limits the game's replayability, aside from a single rescue mission. Overall, players appreciate the depth of the missions and the tactical options available, despite some drawbacks related to mission length and technical requirements.

    • “The missions are very challenging with an option for realistic difficulty but allow for a wide range of tactical strategies with open unit selection and ground direction.”
    • “Each of the 12 missions is fairly large, and one of them was really cool and memorable.”
    • “The graphics are nearly up to par with the modern day Xbox One; your troops will follow orders, you can mount vehicles, and the storyline is engaging.”
    • “However, I don't think you can replay missions after completing the game like in Syrian Warfare, which kind of limits its replayability.”
    • “Among the few drawbacks, I would note the need for an old version of PhysX (cards GeForce 2nd series for example) and the overextended nature of some missions.”
    • “This may not seem like much, but the missions are quite long, and the way the game rewards careful and deliberate micromanagement and punishes even minor mistakes means that it can take quite a while to complete just one mission.”
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, with many praising the core mechanics and the addition of new features that enhance the experience, such as unit salvage and vehicle capture. However, some players criticize the controls and AI difficulty, suggesting that while the game has strong elements, it could benefit from further refinement. Overall, it is seen as a competent execution of gameplay, with a recommendation to explore its improved sequel for a better experience.

    • “In many ways the combat mechanics are similar to those in the Close Combat series, but you have a (non-realistic but fun) option to repair damage and capture enemy vehicles.”
    • “Unit salvage is a good element that adds to the gameplay.”
    • “Many of the same game mechanics are already there, albeit significantly less refined in certain respects.”
    • “The gameplay and campaign are competently executed enough to warrant it, but otherwise I would strongly recommend playing its drastically improved spiritual sequel 'Syrian Warfare'.”
    • “Could be awesome but poor controls and gameplay, really a shame :( it has some good elements but the AI is also way too overpowered.”

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, some Nvidia graphics users have reported issues, while those using AMD and Intel integrated graphics have experienced smoother performance. Overall, the visuals are appreciated, especially considering the game's age.

    • “The graphics are nearly up to par with the modern day Xbox One; your troops will follow orders, you can mount vehicles, and the storyline and formations are engaging. I could list almost 10,000 wonderful things about this game!”
    • “Graphics on par with Command and Conquer: Generals, which was good for the time.”
    • “The graphics are nice; I enjoy it.”
