First post on this site, after watching nearly every episode of Unskippable
Honestly never heard of this game before.... what genre is it?
You've never heard of it because no one bought it. It was a massive commercial flop. I got my copy free with a new video card.
It's an RTS game. One that could have been good had they actually finished it, getting rid of about seven million different bugs, and removed the gimmicky and incredibly obnoxious mechanic that made it impossible to quickly and efficiently command your army. Had they put another six months of work into it, it
might have become worth playing.
The storyline seems to be a completely lost cause though. Needless to say, it doesn't get much better than this cinematic. Basically, there's generic-blocky-camo-blue-human-military versus generic-spiky-red-oppressed-mutant-monster rebels. Our frozen friend starts out working for the humans, then (SURPRISE SURPRISE) defects to the mutants a quarter of the way in. Supposedly there's some sort of great mystery that neither faction knows about, but some bugs actually prevented me from continuing the game to find out. Oh, and the human general looks like Barack Obama. That's pretty much all I remember.
It's sad, really. The Creative Assembly made the Total War series, all of which are excellent. I don't understand how the hell they even thought this was acceptable.
