a fantastic game it has just on flaw to it and im glad i got it for 2 bucks
the only game mode involves you constantly moving from one side to the other after about 3 play throughs on every difficulty ive found it less and less amusing even though the scenarios of each individual encounter change.
it isnt fun due to the fact of i want to be able to explore and build up my ship, to be an immortal titan, not be rushed to the end of the game every time unprepared or ill equipped because the game calls for it to be "balanced". the other issue i have is youre on the federation fighting the rebels now the rebels are chasing you from a to b across the galaxy, and when you get to the other side you meet up with the federation who promptly disappear and dont help you oh did i mention the rebels somehow BEAT YOU TO B. at this point its a desperate fight against their entire fleet while youre a baby pissant ship. so you fight their big bad dreadnought while other ships get to take pot shots at you and you unable to shoot them making it a 1 vs 4 or 5 fight. not fair and i cant pick the rebels since theyre the winning team.

minecraft in space, but with this you can build epic ships and blow SH*T up! crash your ships into asteroids or other things and pretty relistic crunching and crashes with buildings and metal bending and twisting based on speed and trajectory of your object. if i had friends to play with this would take up countless of my hours!

Edit: i still love the game after a ton of hours, but the community is just plain awful, you offer help to people trying to make friends and all you will get is people denying your help when they are struggling, killing you or getting your help and being very mean about it.

5 years after launch and this economy update i am STILL blown away by this game, top 10 for sure, and any DLC complainers. the DLC is worth the $5 since it is continuing to pay the devs and improve the game beyond my expectations! im excited to see all combat elements improved in a future update!

Short version- COOP COOP COOP COOP COOP COOP or you wont have fun and always lose!
i loved orcs 1 but this game is nothing like that. A) its exactly the same stuff maybe 4 new things added to it and WAY more enemy types. B) you are forced to play in co op or you will lose almost every level because they are way more numerous than OMD!1, always coming from 2 areas with 2 separate paths at the same time, and my favorite trap the swinging mace no longer kills but pushes enemies back. C) traps now get upgrades you buy and there are a ton and money is SO scarce if you play alone
oh but that added a ton of new modes like infinite waves.....co op NEEDED, ok um classic mode, co op needed, Oh okkkk i KNOW! DLCS! HEAVILY CO OP ORIENTED. well **** i need to basically buy this game for my friends since everybody is too poor to buy the GAME! great job guys you made the same game but co op and if you have nobody to play with the level doesnt set itself for a single player!
OMD!1 gets a 8/10
OMD!2 gets a 6.5 co-ops/10

This game is too hard to even understand. there are NO tutorials to learn from at all so the ai and other players KNOWING eveything will beat you to death in about 5 minutes but heres the basics it consists of two resources metal and power, you always have to increase the amount of storage you have like power is a PHYSICAL OBJECT!!!! the resources are scarce for you very few and far between deposits, youll need about 9 to start the game and a planet consists of around 20 the ai will usually take 15-18 of them in the first 5 minutes oh and the ai has unlimited resources. i had a guy backed into a corner with 0 metal extractors and he continued to build units at an alarming rate for another 20 minutes of the game. the ai can basically cheat managing 50 units split between 3 planets attacking you on ALL fronts at the same exact time. the ai also knows how to use the super weapons like if he builds a nuke platform on planet A and youre on C he can still hit you somehow but if you build it there is no instruction or even attack button to use the damn thing. the ai has WAYYY more manuverability to start the game and they will also start on whatever planet you start on sometimes even start on a planet that has 1 spawn point AND YOU PICK IT he will STILL show up on it in 2 minutes. in a game of 15 planets 1 on 1 he chose the same planet as me and air rushed the game to 15 minutes. they ai will always rush you and make you waste time rebuilding everything destroyed since everything cannot take more than a wiffle ball hit before dying. there are WAY too many units, basically you have to build units to build other units which is stupid not a tech tree but a timing of who can put out the unit building guys first wins as to numerous and weak orshallow numbers and tough tech tree system EVERY RTS USES. i come from playing a long line of rts games like command and conquer, company of heroes, stronghold crusader, and starcraft. this game has an amazing concept but its soo poorly executed, it comes down to terrible resource system, terrible ai programming, no tutorials to even learn the game or how it works, and terrible unit variation. so in turn its a 4/10

the issue with game, im a HUGE fan of command and conquer because its pretty easy to pick up and play with a great balance to it, you have money and you have energy/power. money buys and upgrades everything, power powers buildings and defenses. nod, gdi, and scrin are the factions. nod has cheap/fast units but are not tough. gdi has tough/slow units but are expensive. scrin has fast/tough units but are more expensive than gdi. NOBODY HAS A POPULATION CAP BECAUSE THAT IS A STUPID FACTOR SINCE THAT LIMITS GAMEPLAY!!!! THESE factors BALANCE the GAME. i was able to easily explain the game. in company of heroes you have 3 resources that CONSTANTLY dwindle as the game goes on, the AI SPAMS infantry all the time and never runs out of resources even if they are stuck in their base with no tactical points they will still put up a HUGE fight with hundreds of infantry units and light vehicles. the fights between your units and the enemies always has a random outcome UNLIKE COMMAND AND CONQUER. your full health tiger II can be killed by a single russian medium tank at half health WHICH SHOULDNT HAPPEN EVER! its not that difficult some units just need to be better than others in certain aspects thats how a game is balanced. for instance russian tanks are cheap, tough but low fire power. german tanks are tough and high firepower but are not cheap. american tanks are cheap and high fire power but are not tough. THIS IS BALANCE! the game has it where all the tanks are the same which isnt historically accurate and a game breaker this makes it random fate whcih is stupid. this means i can get to your base by random chance with just 2 squads against your 10, in C&C this wouldnt even have a chance of happening where you outnumber me so youd win at the end of the day.

update: yeah so found 2 GIANT flaws with the game, export ships have limited cpacity unlike previous games, so every time by the time you hit the modern area youll go into an unending debt because ships are taking industry items and no more raw materials netting you -$$. second major problem is teamsters dont work properly at all. not sure what they did to them from trop 4 but in that one, theyd choose industry buildings first and docks last, so if you have tobacco itd always go to the cigar factory (if you had one) then to the dock to make you more money. now in tropico 5 they just dump it randomly between the factory and the dock making the first flaw very very very apparent. another way teamsters suck is that they will rarely grab imports, they mostly leave them in the dock and eventually they clog up the dock like in the first flaw. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, MAKE SHIPS HAVE UNLIMITED CAPACITY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THIS WOULD FIX MOST OF THE ISSUES



i liked this game i played tropico 3 and 4. 5 is a little different it dumbs down a lot of things making it hard to understand because it is very different, some new buildings and some old buildings. the buildings now are very squared off and fit better in the areas unlike trop 4 where everything exploded around your palace, now its everything is crammed into your palace. im not a fan of the export system because it requires multiple docks for import ships so your exports will be spread around 5 different docks making income hit or miss when a boat shows up, i liked trop 4 where it was you gave the dock an amount of money you were willing to buy imports like 15k and it would buy many different things your island needed to have based on which structures allowed raw material imports, now it is you have import ships for SPECIFIC items like 1 ship for iron, 1 separate ship for gold, and 1 separate ship for uranium, that means building 3 docks to support these ships. To make matters worse in 4 if you didnt have the money you couldnt buy imports, in 5 itll sometimes spend money you dont have on imports. im unsure how co-op works, the budget system as to the old trop4 version which was easy to understand, and im unsure how the manager system for buildings helps them function. the new military system is great and ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO REPELL AN INVASION FORCE is the best as to in 4 its just you lose since you were invaded.

this game is very hard to understand with complex mechanics, if you come from the great command and conquor you wont like this game because no base building and limited unit supply so all your stuff could be wiped out except 2 tanks and you cant do anything about it.

i like this game the only issues i had were when placing roads it almost ALWAYS gives you a collison or terrain error, making a tunnel with roads is impossible, road bridges cant be complex or it panicks and gives you an error because it feels like it, terrain errors being the most common like a small hill 3ft tall forces you to go around it cuz "terrain alignment" or "collision" error BS, trains are sometimes idiots when it comes to complex raillines and paths waiting a lot of the time at a station for the ENTIRE section at another station to be clear of another train as to travelling the distance and by the time it got there itd be clear, sometimes cant find a path to a depot when its a matter of just turning around on a track, the good transport system is bad cuz youll have oil on one side of the map and the only oil refinery on the other side of the map making it pricey to transport goods, MUSIC IS F***ING TERRIBLE WITH 16 songs repeated crappy electronica ALWAYS and being like 2mins long and just poorly made no real variety, also cities can be ♥♥♥♥♥; you place a station build a track from one side and they will put buildings on the other side eventually so you must demolish them and the roads to build another track cost mucho denaros


Its good though lots of trains, trams, and busses to pick, vehicle build dates make it so only 5 different trains are available for each time period so no steam trains in 1950 and no 1950 trains in 2000, also stuff can be SUPER expensive, mods make it more fun with new trains, price adjusters, all trains + traincars at any point in time so steam trains in the year 2100 and electric trains in 1850, and even better goods system! HOPEFULLY they fix my issues. 7/10
