Maelstrom: The Battle for Earth Begins Windows game

this game needs mods 100%

The concept behind it is pretty interesting but the gameplay doesn't do it justice.

what a shame.

I bought this game when it was probably 50 dollars. I can say that I regret buying it. It isn't as "awesome" as it seems and I got bored of it probably 1-2 days after playing it. It's kind of a sad thing that there are ALSO no mods for this game, since it could use a lot of other assists.

I was very sad to see this when I bought it, as it seemed like a very solid concept. I can even narrow down the things that killed it: REALLY bad pathing engine, slow resource harvesting with high resource cost for everything, and dumb-as-toast AI. other than that, it played very well, with a number of interesting ideas. I love the destructible battlefield, walling off your base to create artificial choke-points is wicked awesome. the ability to manually control hero units is both well-implemented and fun, the main problem is the vehicles lack the good turning expected by veteran FPS players, leading to collision issues. all-in-all, this is an interesting, if occasionally frustrating, game, and well worth the $4.99 I paid for it on steam.

i never tried the game, nor the demo (neither do i like demos), would you guys recommend it? give me a bad karma point if not, or a good karma point if yes

When I play this, it feels like an incomplete rts. Most rts have large battles with many troops. Here, it takes me AGES to make any kind of a force. the 3rd person view just slows down the action to much. The $10 I spent on it, was not worth it.
