After getting a case of nostalgia for older RTS games I installed and played this game for the first time in 2017 and I'm disappointed that I left it for so long- it has many features and mechanics which, even by todays standards, are unique and lacking in other games.

The story, art style and set up are good and reminded me a little of the C&C games, particularly the way the writing encourages a similar Cold-War paranoia feel. The way each character has a name, a backstory and a personality is really refreshing and makes Original War far more engaging than it's contemporaries.

The gameplay isn't as cookie cutter and each mission is strategically different and now with the online play and community still somewhat active I can't commend this game enough.
