War Wind completed
Probably the first "modern" video game by gameplay standards. Widely known as the first game that effectively synergized all the good things that made RPG and RTS great together into one unique subgenre, later popularized by Blizzard with its Warcraft III in slightly different ways.
Every units was an individual rather than "just a unit". The player could use them to pick up items, use these items, or collect and give them to another more important one to gain passive buffs or mission critical items. You could build bases and control units like in every RTS, yet you had to carefully control them and take care of them like you would do in the game Dungeon Master. Think of it as the prototype of the game Cultures.
The only major downside I can think of is that its "rough" both in difficulty and coherence. The UI didn't make a whole lot of sense, the gameplay felt needlessly complicated for what it was worth and the Menue was mediocre. The game itself made up for it regardless.
I believe that everyone should at least play this game once as this one is truely an important piece of video game history and a good one at that.
Oh and before I forget....Eagra4lyfe! Tha-Rooni ite domum!
I loved the interesting story with the different races. It was a blast to play.
Remember playing this awesome game. With a friend, created maps and challenged each other. Awesome game. Would instantly buy. Tha'Roon Jump Troopers... purely awesome ^^
Bump! Because I really love those games!
just realized, that dark reign isn't the great game i thought it was... the game i was looking for and loved playing was war wind! pleas gog, bring it on! :)
I actually made a wish for this the other day and didn't realise others wanted it too! I'm not sure if this is what I remember playing as a demo on a Windows 95 disc as a kid but I was fascinated by this game.
I played it so much and would really like to have it nicely packed here.
I still have War Wind 1 and War Wind 2 discs from a games collection.
Would love to play these games again. The WW series is an interesting mix of Strat and Puzzle. While 2 was....not as good, 1 is still a classic.
Been looking for this game for ages, would be good if they can get it on GOG.
Would be good if they could get this, along with the second
Brand rights must be for Ubisoft now, I think they won't want much for such an odd freak game (they can't see this gem through, blind moneybags)...
I don't know if its just me, but finding this game in Aus is friggen impossible now a days. So to see this title come to gog would be friggen amazing. Let's make this happen.
Lol, I want the Bard's Tale too!
Aaah, crap... the YT link was obviously meant for another game on the wishlist... dang, using multiple tabs is dangerous. :P
The interface sucks and the universe is quite generic but heck, there was something about it. Definitely deserves to be remembered, as does the sequel.
Epic game, would love to have this on gog
I only ever had the demo of this game as a teenager, however I've always remembered as having more character and difficulty and requiring more strategy than other games of the era and I'd love the chance to play it!
loved the story and cutscenes between every mission
Totally yes. War Wind rocks.
YES as if some one remembers this game may have many flaws but makes up for it in the unique manner it tackled the RTS
Yeah, this and War Wind II would be awesome to have on the site
this game got me into strategy games on my first pc, EPIC!
