Just finished my playthrough of Act of War: Direct Action last night. However did play the GOG version as the steam version isnt fully updated with Win 10 support yet. That beeing said, the steam version should support upto Win 7 so if you have that then do not fear from buying it on steam! So that is over with, now to the game. Act of War is a RTS from 2005 that follows the "purest" RTS form with build basing and lots of unique units for every faction. The single player playthrough is fun and gives you quite a few headshakes even for a old school RTS players like myself, every unit has it´s strenght and weakness which is amazing and makes it impossible to just take a huge bunch of tanks and win the game, every unit has a counter and even footmen the most basic unit in every RTS is in fact valuable in end game. The story itself isnt much to talk about, it does the job and drives the
Act of war direct action is one of the brilliant strategy game ever made for me.Probably I must have played this more than 100 hours at non-steam version when it was first released.It's scenario was inspired from Dale Brown's stories (Who is well known military novel author like Tom Clancy).If you like Tom clancy style scenarios or series like 24,homeland etc you will probably like this game. AoW:DA also looks similar C&C titles,building base,gathering petrol resources and producing units to crush enemy.Cutscenes is one of the best part of AoW.Which made with real actors.On missions a little video screen appears on the corner and begins to inform you about mission and shows news just like C&C.You can capture wounded enemy soldiers as a prisoner and sell it. Game changing shape according to missions.Sometimes you control small tactical units to eliminate enemy forces or sometimes buildi
This does work on Windows 10. Great game.
Great RTS, that was overshadowed by C&C generals. This game does not use hit points for its units, but uses real world scenerios. For example, a tank will withstand rifle fire all day. But one shot with a helfire missile and it is destroyed. Most RTS would have the missile do 10 out of 15 damage but instead the missile will do its job. That is the basics. The campaign is great and skirmeshes are endless. The only problem is it is a pain to get to work on new computers. Which is a shame because it uses all real world models on all the units, and it still looks pretty good.
A very well written and playable game which keeps you engaged and moving along even if you only intended to play one mission as you will find it too easy and tempting to not quit after just a mission of the campaign. Be warned, for Windows 7 and 8, excluding 8.1, it requires some research and going through a few hoops to get it running, but well worth the effort.
Game is well worth the $10 for any RTS fan. Played Campaign only. CONS: Music is very generic and bland. Can't rotate building placement. Story/cutscense are corny/cheesy, not bad just cheesy. (could almost follow it on mute) No higher resolution or 16:9 support. 64-bit OS systems have to set their virtual memory (total including VRAM) to just under 3gb to run. PROS: Has a pretty nice array of weapons to use, and the campaign is nicely paced. Graphics are pretty good especially for the time it was released. Base building, air support, tactical insertions the game is done pretty well. The game runs pretty well (despite having to virtually chop off most of my RAM) The sound effects in the game (including voice over quality) were all pretty good. Upgrades were fun to work towards and unlock. Has some nice use of units not used in many RTS games. Its a very well rounded Modern RTS. I w
