Enemy Nations - Reviews

Reviews

Home of the Underdogs - 9/10. "Enemy Nations is one of the best and most sophisticated real-time strategy games ever made...It's neither a simple action strategy game, nor is it a straightforward god game with token battle elements. Rather, it's an isometric strategy game which takes influences from half a dozen existing games and tries to blend them into something new, and in most aspects, succeeds admirably."

PC Games - A - "I'm absolutely gaga over the detail: steel frames rising slowly from foundations to create gorgeous buildings, rich smoke coming from stacks, industry-specific sound effects, trucks ambling along the roads, multiple levels of visible damage, fog of war, research, and diplomacy. Better yet, I don't think I've seen it all - not by a long shot."

Games Domain - Gold - "Enemy Nations is a visual treat, and one which is extremely playable. It has the city-building appeal to draw in the god-sim fans and the military conquest aspect to give armchair generals their kicks. Enemy Nations is a rare thing - a strategy game which pushes the technology envelope...If you just want pure action, stick with Red Alert, but if you want a deeper and more attractive offering give Enemy Nations a shot. If you can play it multiplayer, all the better."

Computer Games - 4 Stars - "...it is a solid source of fun, excitement, and great visuals. If you want to lose sleep, strain your relationships, and succumb to a new addiction, then play Enemy Nations."

PC Gamer - 86% - "...have created a labor of love that should please every fan of world building and science fiction strategy games. Finding new resources and new places to expand calls to mind the best world conquest games, while sending armies to engage in real-time combat mines the current trend towards faster-paced strategy titles. There's a little bit of everything here, but all of it is well-balanced and well-integrated: it never overwhelms...we need more games like this."

GameSpot - 47% "Enemy Nations is a complex game with poor AI and even worse pathing. Increases in game difficulty amount to your opponents having more stuff when they begin, not acting more intelligently. The tutorial is an exercise in frustration, the manual reads like postmodern deconstructionism, and it will only run well on truly exceptional hardware."
