Tempest Rising

Great C&C tribute, runs well, good stuff recommend very much please buy, this game should not be dead. Has great campaign plus good vs AI skirmishes.

I don't really understand how this game has such a high rating, you got wildly unbalanced missions on normal difficulty, to the cave man approach of you can only beat the missions by just throwing numbers at it, to the terrible mission design where you have to know the whole mission before playing the mission to beat the mission, and on top of all of that a large list of unexplained mechanics/features

CNC精神续作，初见那段时间确实是被熟悉的语音和类似的机制带起来了怀念的情绪，但是玩着玩着就感觉越来越差点意思。 ai不太聪明，基地范围居然还有设定斜着的建筑格，菱形地图靠北面的围墙只能斜着造有点绷不住；不少核心机制还做得不够详尽基本都是点到为止...不过制作组挺勤快的，一直在一点点更新。 战役方面的话，玩起来GDF比王朝顺手很多，王朝阵营建设起来总感觉很不顺畅，防御设施兵种用起来感觉也不如GDF舒服，而且王朝最后几关开始有点敷衍了，时长很短。虽说两个阵营的战役任务玩到后面基本都是同质化的，但是王朝有几个任务也太短了。其实玩了战役最感兴趣的还是维提族，看起来就很有意思但是目前只能作为两个阵营战役的敌人出场，不过更新计划里已经有了，可以在年底期待一下维提族阵营DLC。

Tempest Rising has nice graphics, engaging campaign with good narration. It has 3 factions with interesting skills offering variety of strategies. They obviously learn from past RTSs mistakes, retain and improved what is working. You would ask why no one is talking about it and why it's not the new greatest hit in RTS genre. Well, multiple of things is wrong with the game that holds it back from being good competitive game or even enjoyable on single-player created maps, also many questionable design choices: - It's path-finding is bad - some units randomly stop responding to move order, and will stay behind - some other dance around like crazy, never wanting to settle - move orders by default run by fastest speed instead of speed of the slowest unit in group, and there is no option to switch it - Vehicle play benefits the most from having specific formations, but no option for formation exists - Some skills stop working, like stealth - units do not shoot most enemy building by default, but they shoot building that you would want to take cover that are not danger to units - there is plenty of interesting mechanics but they are not introduced to player or it is done very late in the campaign, like doctrines - wall building is horrible - you can potentially loose hours of campaign progress just because you decided to replay some previous mission - multiple other things that are wrong with autosave system and progression Obviously, these are not big sins. All of it could be easily fixed if beta testing was performed - plenty of skilled professional players probably would do that for "free" - or user feedback was collected. Why, it didn't happed, no idea. For now, this RTS stays for me in category play-ones-and-forget. In that state, I would definitely not buy any DLC for the game until such issues are fixed.

It’s mediocre and the devs are very very slow like a one man show. Third faction is MIA and no ETA at all besides “coming soon” for over a year. Game itself takes everything way too serious with long tedious missions and embarrassing cutscenes. Graphics are nice but lack charm and art direction is the mother of all blandness As an rts fan there is pressure to like this, but I can’t recommend it because time as a resource is better spent elsewhere

战役还收费，三个阵营战役不是基本的吗。

The successor to command and conquer. If you liked CC you will very likely like this. Two sides with similar but different units. Single player story are reminiscent of Red Alert variety of missions.

Tried the demo/beta ages ago and finally bit the bullet buying the game. Same problems then as now. Not going to go too in depth as the game is perfectly serviceable and I can see people having a lot of fun, but personally I wouldn't recommend it, Its close to being really good in my eyes but it falls short and felt like a slog. First off it tries desperately to mimic the style and feel of the C&C games but it comes across as soulless, if you've played Command and Conquer congrats you've played a better version of this game. I can't stress enough it feels like they ripped everything from command and conquer very little is unique, Tiberium saga world with Red Alert factions. Genuinely replace GDF with Allies gameplay GDI aesthetic, Dynasty with Soviets gameplay and budget Nod aesthetic, the aliens are the outlier being their own Egyptian thing but lore wise they are the Scrin but underground. Just like that you've remade Tempest Rising. If I were to sum up this game it would be safe, bland and confused. Slipgate have a bad habit of splicing new and old game mechanics together in a slapdash manner and Tempest Rising is no different. The factions are a unbalanced mess with counterparts that are straight up worse or building/resource collection mechanics creating a wide gap in capabilities like dynasty has the red alert 3/old construct one building at a time on the field whereas the GDF have the create and deploy of the Allies from RA3. GDF have Intel for their tier 2+ units, the GDF tank smokes the dynasty one due to its better range, speed and cost vs build time, just small things that add up. Okay the campaigns, the meat and potatoes of an old school RTS are... fine. The missions are nothing special, nor are the cutscenes, each campaign has a massive difficulty curve mission. The good additions are the armoury and perks you can edit in-between missions giving a sense of progression and customisation towards your playstyle love it. Surprisingly quick ttk which makes it so you have to baby sit your units a lot because the economy is rough with expensive units and quick depleting resource fields. I remember distinctly taking issue with the unit behaviours like a lack of guard mode. Now my biggest pet peeve, visual clarity. Good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ luck trying to discern what a unit is or does from a glance. The actual environments are dull and murky. The UI is a bit cluttered with call ins being a tiny strip on the left.
