Set against the backdrop of the war between the powerful Jovian Detention Authority and the upstart Sprawlers, Dark Reign 2 is the prequel to the conflict between the Imperium and Freedom Guard.
Graphics 8/10
I am not dissing this game at all, but the graphics are old. HOWEVER old they are though, they still amaze me to this day. Very few glitches here and there but nothing to worry about. The particle effects are absolutely stunning, so is the foreground effects for the terrain. I love it all :)
Story 10/10
Dark Reign 2, one of the oldest games to date but absolutely ******* outstanding. The story starts directly after the first game, where catastrophic events are happening to the world. Both sides such as the JDA and the Sprawler's must fight for what ever control is left and evacuate the planet ASAP. Both sides going through horrific and desperate battles and operations, they both attempt to wipe each other out in an evacuation attempt... but the choice of who is victorious... IS YOURS...
AI 9/10
The AI adapts well to the players skill. The Artifical Intelligence does a great deal in making this one of the toughest but fun games out there. Although the only thing that annoys me is the countless spam of units, everything else is absolutely fantastic. From land, sea and to the air... they will still amaze you with tons of surprises.
Music 10/10
The music gets me hyped up, it makes the battles and passiveness of the game feel absolutely amazing... and definitely brings a feel of absolute enjoyment into the game.
Voice Acting 9/10
The units are voiced perfectly, the main characters sound really argumentative to one another practically everywhere (but that can be a bit of an annoyance). The voice acting in the cut scenes are brilliant aswell, a lot of planning put into this.
Gameplay 10/10
MASSIVE BATTLES, LARGE AMOUNTS OF UNITS, GIGANTIC EXPLOSIONS... floating fortresses of death... yeah, I think everyone knows where i'm going.
Dynamics 8/10
The storyline has tons of events that occur, such as Earthquakes, special faction encounters, deadly traps... but the thing is it's just limited, none of them are in skirmish which is a sad thing.
loved it since i was a kid
