Discharge

A hidden gem on steam, neat indie mix of Battlezone and Warzone 2100. You can build buildings like in C&C Generals, command units like in C&C or you can optional switch to direct unit control like in Battlezone. Also you can customize your units like in Warzone 2100 or Earth 2150. Update:28.04.2019 The developer did add story mode and tutorials You have a builder like in Warzone 2100, Earth 2150, Generals that does build buildings. To maintain economy and defence towers, you have to build energy farms and energy storages next to defence towers. You have 8 buildings and 4 units. + upgrades for research. -energy farm and energy storage -2 types of wall -4 different towers Units -APC -Tank -Gunship -Bomber You have a spawn point where the units are build, you can't build additional factories and do have a unit limit of 11 units.

First impression after 60 minutes review Concept & idea: 6/10 Gameplay: 4/10 Doesn't feel smooth, very clonky, many bugs Graphics: 4/10 Feels very empty not up to date Sounds: 5/10 Controls: 3/10 No Hotkeys, no control groups, mouse only Tutorial: 1/10 No explanations, missleading icons without tooltips. Was hard to figure out as a RTS veteran In a nutshell: Promising concept and idea. But the defining game features are not ready at all. Overall: 4/10

Excellent graphics; brilliantly done. HOWEVER: No tutorial or tooltips; you're left blind, deaf and dumb about how to play. No 'a-move', you're just left in a sandbox with no description of what to do. It's not overwhelming; the two available units are near identical and not remotely interesting. It's effectively 'build units, rush their base' with little room for creativity. I love the graphic-style and the game ran smoothly, but it collided smoothly into a well-generated, thick, concrete wall. If you love(d) C&C and other RTS; do an about-face and save yourself the ten minutes it takes to realize this game has less depth than this review. Edit to Developer: I appreciate the response. I think mouseover tooltips would greatly improve the quality of the game; even something like "health, DPS, armor, range" so I know why to buy a unit would help. Otherwise it's just 'buy a bunch of Thing One and hope it works out." I want the game to succeed, and I look forward to playing this in th...

This game. Looks cool in this fake azz video here. But let me tell you how miss leading this is. The 3rd person view is not even worth doing because aiming is so hard and the ai will nail you with 9 out of 10 shots while your still trying to land 1 out of 25 shots. 3rd Person in an air unit pretty bad hope you like inverted because you cant change it and aiming never figured it out. Played about 7 skirmish matches and lost everyone fast, the AI just steam rolls you every time and i am no novice to RTS game. Pathing is very bad you can tell a unit to go to an area and they might go there or half way or just shake or spin in a circle. There is no base building in this game, its just basically a power plant and turrets. But seing how the AI will cap all the resources you wont be able to build even much of these 2 buildings. Graphics and the idea are nice but overall this is worth 5$. Oh and if you have units long enough for this basically they can run out of ammo/gas AKA power in this gam...

This game is shocking. The only way to get anywhere with this game is to tank rush right at the start. No other tactics will work. Even then the pathfinding is so awful that that doesn't always work either. The AI steamrolls over the resources and you end up just trying to defend your starting base with a rediculously low unit cap which is made even worse by the fact your units wont do as they are told.

This is an amazing game hidden away in Steam. It's an incredible idea to take an RTS and provide a 3rd person mode, letting you take over a single unit personally. It's amazing, and for the price of only ten bucks, its totally worth it. I'd strongly suggest anyone to get this, but I would recommend to the developers to potentially add more content just to increase popularity towards adding this aspect to RTSs. Should you get this? Yes, undoubtedly.

I'm refunding this game now because the full price just seems a little bit too much for what I received given I already own Executive Assault which provides similar RTS/Action fusion with multiplayer, [b]BUT[/b] the game is indeed interesting hybrid between light RTS and action game and I [b]love[/b] direct unit control which gives me a different point of view on the battlefield and even bond to my units. I felt it was pretty hard to control units, my results were worse than that of AI but it's possible I just SUCC ;) I for one will watch this one and if developers keep taking good care of it, I'll consider a purchase during a sale. If you're interested in the concept, I say give it a shot ;)

I would give this game a 5/10 for graphics and such, but i can not and barley even able to play the game, for some reason there's a glitch where after a few SECONDS it kicks me out and i have to play AGAIN mind you, and it does the same glitch on repeat, unless this is a one time thing please fix this mistake, if i could i would refund.

AI is almost impossible to fight and game controls are awful. the game is very limited.

this game is cool
