About This Game

Redefining Strategy in RTS games.

Foresight is an epic space-based RTS game that throws you, the player, into the thick of the battle as a commander. Lead huge fleets, armed with fighters and bombers across wormholes to fight it out with your enemy. Launch bombing missions, fighter patrols, plant observation posts or fire support base with reconnaissance units. Intelligence is key.

Recruit capable commanders as your fleet commanders; they'll not just obey your orders, they'll also talk to you, give you suggestions, raise requests and report on their progress. Fleets are semi-autonomous and therefore have their own command, which is separate from yours though they're under your command. This allows you to expand your forces beyond what you can control. They also progress alongside you, gaining experience and improving their abilities. As they get promoted in rank, so does your command; allow you to control more ships.

Foresight redefines the strategy component of RTS games by rewarding players for executing correct strategic decisions and not punishing players for a single mis-click or being less dexterous. Build order complexity is minimized to allow players to focus on what matters; building the right thing.

Need to arm a capital ship with fighters and bombers? No problem - simply make a request with that ship. Foresight's AI will automate the entire process - between picking the nearest shipyard with the lowest load and deployment to the designated ship.

So, what's your battle plan? Blitzkrieg? Flank attack? Even in space, such plans are possible because Foresight is built to deliver an reasonably accurate outcome. A large navy may not always win the day.

Finally, enjoy the epic battle as fighters dogfight each other, bombers performing bombing runs and ships firing all weapons in their full glory!

Features
  • Foresight supports up to 8 players in single player battles or multiplayer skirmishes.
  • Create fleets with officers who will then talk to you and offer suggestions.
  • Form massive fleets quickly without a complicated build tree.
  • Reasonable automation eliminates the need to overly micro-manage RTS "chores", now you can focus on the battle more.
  • Tide of war can be tilted by intelligence gathering and positioning of ships, as well as having a healthy supply of fighters and bombers.
  • The largest army may not always win.
  • Every player is represented by an avatar character in game, making sneak attacks and assassinations worthwhile.
  • Most of the 36 Strategems applicable and is highly replicable in Foresight
  • Commanders and Advisors will level in their statistics gradually with action in combat and will unlock more innate abilities to aid you.

When Foresight first launched I wouldn't have recommended it based on my first impression. What seemed like unfinished product with clunky ui proved to have more dept than I thought, being unrefined to modern tastes but not unfinished. Ever since then game has improved weekly, problems that are posted are getting fixed and improvements that make gameplay clearer are being added. I have reported numerous things about this game and I have noticed they all get fixed in matter of days. Foresight team doesn't seem to be afraid to do major changes either to not just to make their game sell, but to make it really good. While I write this review the game still ways to go, but it's the kind of game that grows on you when you give it a chance, improving along the way.

A great game by a great developer who is constantly taking Feedback from his customers and improving the experience in a manner I've never actually seen. Think a mix between Warcraft III's Solar Conquest Mod and Star Trek Armada II and a few other RTS's that combine to make Foresight! Plus you've got a fully fledged out campaign featuring a ludicrous amount of missions each more difficult than the last. I literally cannot wait to see what else comes from this dev!

the good : + Its an RTS with ok graphics (Older Graphics) + It has a general feel of a futuristic world using the cut-scenes between levels to give you a little background etc. the bad: - Voice acting is still HORRIBLE - For some reason Alt-Tab doesn't work properly , it might force you to close and re-open the game if you want to continue (Sometimes the mouse seems to not appear after you use Alt-Tab) - This time i couldn't even pass level 2 it was when i found the controls didn't seem to work - i couldnt create a fleet even after finding out what controls to use - Missing important information like how to create a fleet (it tells you to build 5 gunships in level 2 but doesn't give you enough resources - when you try to build , it says you have to create a fleet - but how ? , had to figure it out on my own) - After playing the game for a few hours i noticed the "i" button on my keyboard stopped working - i did a system restore with the only change being forsight un-installed (i liter...

Well about 20 hours in and still enjoying the missions so gotta recommend based off that alone. But to go into alittle more detail Foresight is a fairly good Space RTS with base building and Fleet management like you would expect of any decent RTS. The Factions are fairly different from one another which is always good and the way fleets are handled by hiring commanders to.. well command them is an intresting change from what im use too. Plus the game does seem to be getting updates and bug fixes, updates that are indeed expanding and improving the game which is of course always a good thing as well. So all in all i'd recommend Foresight to any fans of the RTS genre. Especially fans of Space RTS games.

This game looks decent. It accually reminds of the old good days of Sci-Fi RTS like some comment said. And it keep updating and improving. I am glad to find this game and enjoy it. Hope it will be better and better.

This game has potencial & future. I'm testing it right now and stressing all its possibilities on graphics in 'Options' Menu. Currently i am using the following special steam command lines when launching the game: -freq 35 -refresh 35 -fullscreen -w 2560 -h 1440 -32bpp -dx11 -64 -high -aspectratio 16:9 -norestrictions Monitor resolution set in 2560x1400 makes the space combat simulation much better and gorgeous.

So far, so good. Has a feel of Empire at War about it and the fleet commanders while still pretty basic are a very nice addition. The Good: Fleet Commanders. Fleet supply lines. Combat expands beyond Rock Paper Scissors while still allowing unit counters. Lots of mission variety so far. Skirmish. The Bad: UI is a little clunky at first, takes some getting used to, hotkeys help once you've started to memorise them. The voice acting, I've been told this is to be improved though. Mission 5. ARGH. All in, a fairly good RTS with some interesting elements. The Dev is also highly active with the players responding to all comments, feedback and concerns. Still in active development also, always a plus.

Well this game is a nice one, sure its not a graphical juggernaut, but its still a fairly interesting game. My main issue with it is that less than 3 hours in I had several bugs, my game crashed twice and at one point my main ship was frozen, couldn't move or anything during the 3rd mission when I tried to get it repaired at the allied shipyard before heading back to Earth, so yea its not perfect, the gameplay is nice enough, but the developers have to check out again for bugs, because its getting pretty annoying having issues and having to restart some missions all because it crashed or bugged. Still I'd recommend the game, in particular when nicely on sale, but otherwise I make a mention that saving often might be necessary until the issues it still have got corrected.

Not a fan, the voice acting makes it unbearable and the slow moving menu's pretty much drive the nail deeper. The game itself functions fine, the game play is smooth but all in all if it was lets say 50% faster in the menu's, 25% better graphics, 30% less like an old Linux game and 100% better in voice acting this would be a real gem.
