I've just built my first two ion cannon frigates and have sent them into a pitched battle against several enemy fighters, supported by a large assault vessel.
A complete feeling of relief sweeps over my whole body at the mere sight of them.
But then, emerging out of the distance, I spot a couple of my heavy assault craft, slowly entering the field of battle like the proverbial cavalry. I'm on the run, using evasive manoeuvres to try to stay alive, but I have totally underestimated my opponent's firepower. Those Moments In Fullįor Instance: a battle between several dozen fighters is going badly for me. You forget everything that's going on around you and become completely swept up in the moment. Those moments when, just for an instant, you're suddenly hopelessly lost in the totality of the gaming experience.
Homeworld 3 mod#
Once the single-player game is completed, there's plenty of life in the skirmish games, but most of all, Homeworld has a thriving mod community, and if we haven't convinced you to invest in this classic game yet, be aware that somewhere out there are mods for Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Star Wars. While the Cataclysm sequel refined the interface and buffed up the graphics, Homeworld has managed to retain its beauty. The excellent tutorial gently guides you through the interface and perfectly sets the pace for what's to come which soon unfolds into an epic struggle through space, as you research new ships and send them to crush the enemy. Of course it all takes some getting used to, about 30 minutes should do.
Homeworld was and still is superb, and to ask a fiver for it is as big a bargain as you will ever find. There are still a great many developers who remain unconvinced that a fully 3D, real-time strategy game can be user-friendly and yet evidence to the contrary has been under their very noses for years. Along With Total Annihilation, Homeworld will go down as one of the most underrated strategy games of all time.
