Battlezone 98 Redux

Battlezone 98 Redux

Important disclosure here: Prior to the release of BZ98R (and still to this day), I have been a player of the original game up until it’s final unofficial patch version 1.5.2.27 U1. This game is entirely based on this community patch.

People who have played 1.5 are going to feel differently about the game than people who last played it 20 years ago (1.3, 1.31, 1.4…). The same goes for people who had never played BZ98 in any form prior to purchasing this game.

This review involves numerous statements of objective fact but it was still written by someone who was playing 1.5 for years prior to the release of this game.

This is the best game you’ve never played. It’s the hidden gem of hidden gems.

Set in an alternate 1960s where the space race is just a cover for a cold war turned hot, the United States and Soviet Union secretly deploy massive armies into space in pursuit of an extra-terrestrial substance, bio-metal, that can be used to craft amazing and powerful weapons of war. The National Space Defense Force (NSDF) and Cosmos Colonist Army (CCA) do battle over control of the bio-metal throughout the solar system using hover tanks crafted from the precious material. Battlezone has some of the best sci-fi lore of any game- don’t skip over the briefings and debriefings!

Battle Village

Battle Village

The BGM of the game is a little ok. It can be seen that the developer wants to create a tense atmosphere. But,But,But I didn’t feel nervous and even giggled. Why? Let me tell you:

1.In the game, the enemy’s tank birthplace position is completely fixed, and the order is also completely fixed. You can run to the top of the screen and kill the tank easily, which is easier than bullying a three-year-old. I even had an illusion that if I had been born during World War II, I would have been a trump tank driver.

4/10

it’s missing a bit to Give it a Go,

feels like was not much of a thought about a good level design and some fancy interface

not bad though, I was sad to discover that game can be really abused by just standing down the spot line.

If u miss games like Vyruz: Destruction of the Untel Empire, this might rub the right place. More development and it will be fine.

Sands of Fire

Sands of Fire

Bring a cannon to a gunfight.

You hear the rumbling drone of approaching enemy tanks returning from a dawn patrol. The hapless armored vehicles have wandered directly into your trap. You wait until they’re in your line of sight and yell “FIRE!”, shattering the stillness of the quiet morning. After the ensuing engagement, you survey the burning wreckage. Another battle has been won, but the war is far from over.

Take control of forty tons of pure armored destruction! World War II is raging, and the enemy is fighting hard for every inch of territory in North Africa. Devastate the opposing forces with superior tactics, cunning strategy, and tremendous might. Leave the enemy forces smoldering in your tracks, and bring your fellow countrymen home safely!

  • Engage in up to 48 realistically recreated tank battles from World War II from Tobruk and El Alamein to the Kasserine pass, Tunis and Bizerte.

  • Carefully customize your loadout for each mission.

  • Direct allies in battle and choose tank formations to give you an advantage.

Brigador: Up-Armored Edition

Brigador: Up-Armored Edition

There’s a reason I’ve logged 200+ hours in this game in under 2 months. It’s fun as hell and offers incredible amounts of replay value and gameplay depth. There is an absolutely enormous amount of content, and everything is packed with detail.

The basic idea of the game is to pick a vehicle, a primary and secondary weapon, and then a special defensive weapon/feature, and go to town. You’re getting paid based on how much destruction you dish out by a cold, calculating megacorp, the SNC, that has only one goal: conquest of Solo Nobre, a massive walled city where the game takes place. You must secure the city district-by-district via whatever means necessary, even if that means completely leveling the entire map (which is totally doable, and even encouraged!).

Brigador is, on the surface, an isometric twin stick shooter where you choose a difficulty, vehicle, two weapons, a special ability, and a pack of levels to fight through. But what makes it so much more than just that is the flavortext. No, that’s not a joke. Every single map, Pilot, weapon, lore concept, and vehicle, including the non playable ones have a full paragraph or more written about its special quirks, how it came into service, crew oppinion, and other such things.

The setting is a genuinely interesting one. Yes the 80s synthwave meme is a bit overplayed these days, but it works out in a way that doesn’t feel forced in brigador. Cassette tapes and CRT moniters work along side crainial jacks in this dystopian North Korea meets Rio Brazil in an An-Cap universe and it just kinda works.
