Reviews for "DarkBase: Alien RTS"

To many problems

The Idea of this game is actually entertaining, but the overall game play is where it hurts it. Units that you order to attack a certain structure will attack for a brief period then wander off and start attack random units off in the distance, the fact you have to actively remind your soldiers while running back and forth between searching for mineral deposits, fending off on-coming soldiers, and repeatedly remind your soldiers to attack a group or structure hinders the continued game play. There is also the upgrade issue, either you allow the upgrades to be available at the beginning, allowing players to gradually form better units per level provides a problem when enemy units already have achieved all upgrades before you and you rush to build either a huge army you can't micro-manage, or you just quit because you struggle to fight off an enemy that can tear through 20 of your units in 2 seconds. Even as a Real-time Strategy, you should have more control over your situation than pointing and clicking randomly and hoping you get an outcome in your favor.

Drones

I had trouble getting them to mine, and keep mining. They seemed to glitch and keep on trying to walk into the crystal or the hive, giving me little to no income. A decent attempt, but it's just too damn unweildy.

Control Problems

This game has awesome potential, and I really tried to enjoy it, but it seems to be loaded with control and navigation problems. For instance, when I try to scroll using the WASD configuration, there is a very noticable lag accompanied with it. Many times I found the screen continuing to scroll a few seconds after I actually stopped trying to do so. The "double click to select all units" feature does not work most of the time and there are many instances where move commands do not register and my men just stand there instead of moving where I want them to go. At first I tried to lower the quality settings to see if that would help, but it did not.

I love RTS games and I really got excited about this one, but sadly the controls and laggy presentation ruin it for me.

meh

i just found it uninteresting and boring. i love your games but rts arent working in my opinion

basically just a rip

off of starcraft. this is the zerg your playing as.
