The best tactical space battle sim/game out there

You have control over all systems in the ship!

Here comes a long paragraph you should read

The ship behaves like it would in real life if it existed, the thrusters fire and it accelerates to its cruise speed, it even overshoots a bit then cuts the thrusters and uses reverse thrusters to slow down THEN re-engages the forwards thruster to maintaine cruise. When the ship is trying to manuevar around and obtsacle or around an enemy you wil clearly see it firing its reaction control thrusters to spin it or strafe around. The greatest part is if you install auxiliary engines like deflection engines or combat drives then the ship uses main thrusters to get close to the enemy and engages the combat drive and you see it spinnign and dancing around the enemy to make it impossible for them to target specific devices of your all thr while destroying what ever system you have targeted with its own weapon. I like being able to decide what kind of ship I want to fly, for example I can set it up to be deivce killer, get close and knock out there weapon generators and shields with my lasers and bombard them with torpedoes or fit it with bubble energy shells which drains shields then destroy the hull with either torpedoes or mass drivers. If you want to be a bad ass you can equip battleship grade weapons on you little ship like long range CRISIS energy torpedos which (if they hit) will utterly destroy the enemies shields (they can be dodged easily if the enemy has a combat drive equipped), after dropping the enemies shields launch some BIG BANG EM missiles and watch as the brightest explosion you've ever seen destroyes there hull (if their flak system didnt shoot down the missile). Most later missions you get some small ships with a torpedo boat and ofcourse your own unique flag ship, you get to allocated resource points for each ship being able to decide what each will focus on, you could for exmaple have the small quick and agile ships focus on taking down devices like shields and weapons of an enemy with lasers which bypass shields so your torpedo boat can come in and annihalate them or have all of your ships work in unison to bombard their shields with energy shells after which they, in unison, wreck the hulls with mass drivers. I've literraly been playing this game since 2004 and have never gotten tired of it, even with online being down. Its just so good, theres nothign else which comes close to the realism of the zero-g physics which you will clearly see. Theres no game out there that has the cinematic feel this one does, you just sit there as these large capital ships lumber around slowly firing thrusters left and right trying to maneuver around each other to get the best firing position, you will never see any other game that has the same shield ddynamics this one has, a projectile comes towards you and it just smashes in to your bubble shield, the shield reacts, you see magnetic distortion in it as it stabalizes then dissapears and recharges. You wanna be faster? just allocate more power to the engines, you want shields to recharge faster? just give em more power, wait your out of stored energy? turn off support systems and your engines and let the storage batteries recharge.

I've played this game dozens of times, and will play it more and more, its just sad that nexus 2 never got the funding it sohuld have, maybe the creators waited to long to bring it back... Only a select few know about this game, shame.

I just jumped in to check it out.

Here is what I have to say to those who said
" Why did I buy it?"

***This is not a game for CASUALS***
***I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A GAME FOR CASUALS.***
Just like some other guy said this is Space Dark Souls.
No hand holding no bottle feeding.

This has the most accurate simulation of Zero-G Physics I've ever seen. You actually float and hit the wall and respond accordingly, my brain feels good.

I will update as I spend some time in the game for now just wanted to clarify that you shoudn't waste your hard earned 6$ in this game if your expecting something easy.

Or you know...just use EZ Mode. Filthy casuals.

You are here because this is homeworld ressurected.

Its all the same basically just looks better, also original karan s'jet voice actor wasnt able to do homeoworld 2 back in the but they got her to come back for the remastered which is legit.

Back in 2007 I picked up homeoworld 2 and played the crap out of it, never did get aronud to playing HW1, man hw1 is hard lol.

HW2 babies you
HW1 does not -get rekt


Have to start campaign over cause I messed up in the early levels, and I'm only on level 6 lol.

Good ol' age of mythology that I used to play back in the day

You would think in 2014 a game like this in multiplayer would be without problems..

but then again here we go, back in 2005 I don't ever remember lagging, matter fact most games would run smooth, but good god steam AOM multiplayer takes it to a whole level. It literally feels like steam gave aom multiplayer parkinsons desease, The muliplayer doesnt care if everyone is running FIOS 5million gigbait internet it will lagg, it will be jerky through out the entire game, this is just plain ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sad. I dont even use steam but certain games i could only get on steam so i was forced to use this program, also with workshop integration i looked forward to an already good exprience being better, i was expecting steam to get things right that the original game versions did not,,,,but it didnt. I was dissapointed.

The stats do not lie

Why is it that >90% of the players that play this game on steam dont play multiplayer?

The chat lobby is glitchy
the game lobbies are glitchy
most original good scenarios are unplayable

I'll continue playing just cause i love AOM so much, but i will not be advocating getting it on steam.

People still play using the original CD's and the servers are still up, old problems persist but alteast microsoft didnt give their version parkinsons.
