I had just finished playing all the Warcraft 3 campaigns and was looking for more Strategy goodness.
I then found this high-fantasy game that had everything I was looking for. The story was great but as a child I found it a very difficult game. I would love to take another shot at beating it!
The period after Warcraft III when many publishers tried to replicate the RTS + RPG formula had some real gems. Unfortunately, this was right before the death of PC gaming in retail, and the long period of "store wars" in early digital distribution.
Armies of Exigo is one of the casualties of the time, forgotten by everyone. It's time to bring it back, EA.
My memories of this game arent particularly detailed, the main and biggest one is that after a certian point the game just got too difficult, until years later i tried the game again, got my ass handed to me and just decided to cheat my way through the game wholesale haha
I remember finding this game in my local library (a place i use to go to a lot to rent comics and games when i was in my teens) I was really surprised how good and cool this game was and the story was quit something else. In my 20ties i bought the game on amazon from a random person and i still own my copy today with many other old school games bought the same way (I'm 35 now) Would be great to get this game on GoG as it seems to be forgotten by time and many ppl don't know it even exist.
Armies of Exigo is criminally underrated . I absolutly love this Game. Its an RTS just like Warcraft or Starcraft. Its not as good as Warcraft 3 but its pretty close. For me its a 5/5 Star Game. I still have this Game on CD as i keep all my Games i bought . But as widely known the Backwards Compatibility on Windows 11 is crap , you then need to Dowload a no CD file which im verry reluctantly do .
But even with that done you still have some Compatibility Proplems.
I need 3 Games to be happy in Life: Armies of Exigo / Black and White 2 / Battle for Middleearth 1 and 2
This game is a pure gem. Sadly WarCraft 3 overshadowed it, but this game deserved it's beautiful story's continuetion. The scale of battles are very intense, fought in the air, on the ground and undergroundbat the same time with the classic RTS style. Three totally different factions, map-wide effect spells, beautiful graphics. It's cinematics were second of it's time, bested only by WarCraft 3 itself.
I once had the discs for this game, sadly lost disc 2.
It would be amazing to replay this game, before I was a kid who bought it cause it looked cool and I'd love to actually play the game and not just stay in skirmish games.
I also love the art style and factions you get to play.
Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.Action Stealth
