It's a powerful experience when a game's less frenetic moments are
just as absorbing as its action, and AI War
manages to engross from all available angles, challenging the player
with strategically demanding
scenarios and framing it all in brilliant 2D visuals that provide
ample visual stimuli but maintain
easy access to statistics. Expertly crafted resourcing and development
tools prevent stagnation of
the game's simple conquest objective, and the sheer scope of ships,
maps and difficulty levels – not
to mention co-op – is likely to keep this gem afloat for some time.
RTS fans rejoice.
