he game is already available on GOG under the name Z: The Game by TickTock Games / Kiss. Unfortunately, many players have mentioned that it is a port from mobile systems and lacks features from the DOS/Win95 versions. I request a standalone release of the Win95 or DOS version of Z or the inclusion of the original game as part of the current purchase.
There are RTS games that rely on either speed of tactics. This is the only one where enduring the pressure the game forces on you is the most important key to beat it. The game is not only challanging, I also like the humor. I'm very curious whether GOG would add the original dos/windows version or the phone/tablet port.
I started gaming with the Westwood RTS games, and this one was... different. So very different.
The player is forced to take action, bring the fight to the enemy. Economy is directly tied to how much of the map you can hold. It is possible to slow production, or even steal enemy units, by taking the right territory at the right time. Infantry had real value in this game, despite being very vulnerable. Rifle fire could clean out tank and gun emplacement crews, permitting any infantry to take over enemy equipment. the ability to swim opened up new paths. And the AI used all of this properly. There was a bit of luck and random in all this, but it fit well with the madness and over the top feel of the game. As such, this game is a hidden gem of RTS that can still hold up to modern day games in terms of innovation and intelligent gameplay.

The game features a techno soundtrack.Science fiction

The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, ViciThe Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici is a real-time strategy computer game, released by Blue Byte Software in 1996. Its gameplay is very similar to that of its predecessor, The Settlers, albeit with a Roman theme and improved graphics. It is the second game in The Settlers series.
Many fans of the franchise consider this the best game of the series, primarily because future instalments changed the transport management aspect considerably. This popularity encouraged Blue Byte to publish a remake of the game, The Settlers II (10th Anniversary) for Windows and release a port of the original game on Nintendo DS.Historical
