Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

Time wearing away the nostalgia I have for this shows it to be a pretty poor game... Without those fond old memories, it has nothing going for it. It is fundamentally broken in concept. The tier system sounds cool...until you sit around farting about waiting to unlock the fun or effective troop types. There is no realistic way to win a game without the mechs and heavy gunships and strategic bombers...so you have to rush to get them...which means that's what you'll do every game. Yeah, the specifics may vary...but you're just spending like 30 minutes in a holding pattern until you get access to the "good stuff." Every game. Likewise, the scale of the game, which is indeed massive in scope and concept, breaks itself, since those massive maps mean you have to cover huge swathes of territory and expand your bases. This is, nominally, "what you want" in an RTS, but at THIS scale it just means the fights get dragged out for eternity at any serious challenge level. Finally, I have fond memories of the campaign. I like how it's more engaging than the storylines of vanilla SupCom, but it still relies heavily on the player having advance foreknowledge of what they'll need to weather a fight or save-scumming so you know what you'll need before you complete that next objective. If I NEED to save scum in a singleplayer game...maybe you've just made a bad game? The campaign is a wash, while every match devolves into the same, congealed "everygame." Unless you really do go crosseyed everytime you get an experimental up and running, this is not worth your money.

Gram w nią w 25 roku i chyba przechodzę ją z 4 raz. Jedna z lepszych gier typu RTS

One of the greatest games ever.

I grew up with this game — literally. Twelve years ago, when I was eight, my dad handed me the original disc. Since then I’ve poured over 2500 hours into the old version alone. And after finally buying it on Steam, I can say one thing with absolute certainty: I regret nothing. This is still the greatest RTS ever made. Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance isn’t just a strategy game. It’s a war simulation on a scale no other RTS has ever matched. You get: - Four full campaigns, each faction with its own identity, philosophy and playstyle - Skirmish battles that can escalate into continent‑sized wars - LAN and online multiplayer for when you want to test your strategic brain against real humans - A sandbox so massive you can literally reshape the battlefield with experimentals, artillery grids and nuclear firestorms And then there’s FAF (Forged Alliance Forever) — the community client that keeps this masterpiece alive. Even if you never touch ranked multiplayer and just want to play with friends or alone (like me), FAF is still worth installing for: - Smarter AI - Thousands of mods - Endless maps - Quality‑of‑life improvements - A community that still treats this game like a religion The base game already includes mod support, so if you want to build 100 nukes and erase the map from existence, nothing is stopping you. That’s the beauty of SupCom: it gives you the tools, the scale, and the freedom to wage war exactly the way you want. After all these years, no RTS has come close to the ambition, scope, and pure strategic depth of Forged Alliance. If you’re even remotely into strategy games, this isn’t just a recommendation — it’s a rite of passage. Fun fact, this RTS is the only I can think of where nukes are an actual threat to your existence, but are still balanced. Not by limiting their destruction, but because the maps are so big that you have room to evacuate and build new bases.

Campaign is gimmicky but fun

Other than some bugs and problems getting it to run on Linux, it's a wonderful game! It is a wonderful rts, even 2 decades later! If you are wanting to have some fun with an actually fleshed out game, (rare these days, I know), this is something you should try out! Highly recommend it!
