8-Bit Armies reviews and comments

The Game is, in my Opinion, suitable for People who Are still too complicated to play games like Company of Heroes. With 8-bit Armies, you can get into the whole System and continue to wrap up your Style of play. :^)

Very good Game for in between. The Units are well balanced and fully designed. The solo campaign is fun-the advanced system, where you get more Start-Ressurcne after every Success, I think is very good

8-Bit Armies 15 Euro + 8-Bit horn for 2 New Factions and completely equal Game 15 Euros and then 8-Bit invaders that same as with 8-Bit Hordes for 15 Euros. So ridiculous rather than for 2.50 Diccs per Faction. All three Games almost completely the same. Can't I recommend I prefer 8-Bit Armies Arena.

Excellent RTS game. Since C & C, I had already given up hope that an RTS could ever come, but there it is! Of Course, there are still a few Contents missing, but the Bidding, which is available to play so far, is already quite a bit. Plus Point in my Opinion for the Soundtrack. This is where C & C Feeling Comes up. Just horny!

Unfortunately disappointing. 8-Bit Armies is a Game with a lot of Potential. I really liked the Screenshots and my own Graphic Style was convincing. But unfortunately, the Scope of the Game was disappointing. Two blasphemous Factions and not even Technologies? Well, maybe it's Fun to play this Game in Multiplayer with Friends, but if you want a new Game à la Command & Conquer, you'd better not access it here and enjoy the old Games.

8-Bit Armies is a very nice Game to play it with his Friends or even alone in the 1 against 1 or 2 against 2 Are to 4 against 4 in Teams or Even free for all up to 8 Games. Creating The Lobby and starting a Game goes very quickly and easily. One has the opportunity to choose between zewei Faction (Renegades/Guardians). Then it starts, you build your Army similar to Starcraft and go into battle. This can be both slow and ' tacktic ' and quickly at the beginning to rouse the Opponent dead. However, the Game seems to have a Problem, for example, if you fight each other in 2 versus 2 all at once with a very large Army that the Game jerks massively and it runs on the Screen as in Slow Motion (With me and 3 of my Friends). This doesn't have to be the case with everyone, but we 4 own one of my opinion of ' ' good ' PC and I don't know for sure if something can be done by the Developers ' pages there or if it's because of the Computer Performance that it doesn't run smoothly in some Situations. Otherwise good Game, as I said with Friends, it is most fun, but that is almost everywhere.
