The key to success in the game is twofold. The number of units that can be created is staggering-everything from different types of power armored infantry to ground effects vehicles, tanks, gun platforms, ICBMs (!), automated artillery, aircraft and ships. Weather effects are also modeled into the game.
The sound effects, music and atmospherics are all first rate and do much to draw the viewer into this violent future world. The graphics are a nicely effective, top-down view with anime inspired characters providing orders and updates. The game description promises battles with upwards of 5,000 units participating! Additionally, the game features a skirmish mode with hundreds of random maps and an online battle mode in which up to four players from all over the world can test their mettle. Machines of War 3 features an immersive campaign game with an on-screen learning system and 21 missions of escalating difficulty. As I tried this on several different Windows boxes (one new and very basic and one a gamer’s rig), I can say that the graphics hold up on a basic system with an on-board graphics card and look just as good (if not better) on the gamer’s rig with a top-flight graphics card. For the Mac, OS X 10.2 or later, 240 MB storage space and 1 GB memory.
On Windows the requirements are Windows XP or later, 225 MB storage space and 1 GB memory. The system requirements are not overly heavy duty. This game is available for the Windows and the Mac platforms. This game fits that mold nicely but adds nice tension through the mysterious backstory of the missing scientists. Since this is a real-time strategy game, the main focus is to collect resources, build your installation and army, and then go find the enemy and kill him. Machines of War 3, the newest sequel, not only adds infantry and artillery but air combat as well. The first Machines of War was released around 2007, and the first game featured science fiction ground mechanized combat only. This is the set-up for the newest release in the venerable Machines of War real-time strategy game series. Now you must deploy your high-tech forces to save America from a new threat and, while defending the country, you must look for clues to recover the scientists. Weapons researchers have gone missing but they have left a few clues that seem to indicate that they have been kidnapped to work on a new, even more deadly weapon for the enemy. No verification that you’ve saved the game. Easy to learn but tough to master.įailed Basic: Needs to better coordinate the status updates and help with the on-screen action. Passed Inspection: Fast, nail-biting action, real-time strategy. Machines at War 3 – PC Game Review By Rick Martin
