I love the RTS genre, and this game not only offered a fun RTS experience growing up, but the ability to take control of your hero unit (switching from RTS-view to Over-the-shoulder view) and command the battle from the ground was unforgettable and something I haven't seen any other RTS attempt. With campaigns ranging from Julius Caesar to Cleopatra, the offered a fun variety of different units. Not to mention, detailed navy combat mechanics. Load up you ships with archers and attack them at range, or ram ships by using careful flanking and speedy rowing, or use boarding hooks to take over ships by sending your troops onto the enemy ships (and again, being able to join the raiding party as a hero unit never got old for me :P ). I spent hours in the level editor also setting up wacky scenarios. Especially loved the Godzilla unit that was an easter egg hidden in the tutorial mission...
Would love to see this game released where others can experience it
This game was next level RTS and third person immersion, it's like a mix of dynasty warriors and playing as the hero I love this remade or remastered!!! My dad and I both played this growing up, many nights spent hearing the wonderful soundtrack
This was the first ARTS game i played (Action Real Time Strategy). I remember playing this with a few friends and we always ended up at a stale mate every time. Story is very good and can be brutal at times. This game remastered or even a sequel would become the best RTS game like this out there. It was totally ahead of its time. I still have the box for this, but i would love this game to be available for the rest of the world so they can experience this ancient masterpiece.
Now this game was something. Introduced to me by my neighbour borrowing me his copy, I went in expecting a fun Age of Empires experience. Well I didn't expect to just be able to jump into the shoes of a faction's hero, and lead my units in the battle. This fluid transformation from RTS to 3rd person action just blew my mind. The faction campaigns were also really fun and entertaining.
A real gem that deserves to be on GOG.
I got this game as a birthday present back in the day. My physical copy is still lingering somewhere around the house.
A decent RTS, with units countering each other. With an additional spin that was becoming somewhat popular back in the day - a heroic unit. What made it stand out? You could take over control of your hero, and command units in that state as well (with simple commands).
That allowed you to turn the tide aside from simple numbers in units!
And the campaign, they posed a challenge, as your hero has limited stamina for you to utilize while controlling them. It requires you, the player, to manage the resource even while controlling a hero.
I used to play this game with every waking second I had, I loved it so much, I think if it was remade today with a couple small tweaks and mod support it would be top tier. But I'd love to play it again and ram some ships!
Me & my brothers used to LAN play this game non stop, and there's nothing out there that is quite like it, the switch between Proper RTS and the insanely cool hero play makes it one of a kind! please bring it back, I cannot find it else ware!!!
I remember it like it was yesterday. Ever since I was 10 years old, I’ve always loved strategy games—especially the ones where I could command large armies on open battlefields. I think that’s why I fell in love with the Total War series. One day, while searching for games similar to Total War: Rome, I came across Rise and Fall. It was simply amazing. The game managed to combine everything I love: from classic base-building RTS mechanics to the ability to control your hero directly on the battlefield with your army, however you saw fit. Seeing and playing this game again brings back warm memories of my childhood!
This game was part of my childhood, the kind of game you just play to have fun, without any commitment, missing physical media.
I would love to see this nostalgic game in the GoG store.
