Oil Rush

Waterworld in Game Form with all its Depths (pun intended). At the beginning I was still positively surprised by the Game. Intro and Syncro solid, the Graphics were fluid and vivid, the first two Levels played out quite ok. But then, then came the Turn ... The economic System and Control Elements are simple Marginal Phenomena. There is no direct Unit Control, but only troops are ordered at Collection points. You Often feel like AI is cheating on you. The Characters transparent and without Love. It just seems hollow. We start the Game as Kevin ... Kevin! Fresh from the Academy of post-apocalyptic hobby sailors, we immediately take Control of part of the Army of our so unsympathetic Commander that we know full well: The Pottsau later becomes our Enemy. On the Way we meet a "kesse" pilot and a peaceful merchant, who of course are all very quickly ready to sacrifice their Lives for us. Klaro! And, as in Waterworld, of course, it's always about the Oil. In general, the Level Of Difficulty increases very quickly, so that many seem to give up in frustration in the middle of the Game. The Archievement "Apply Napaln 5 times" (comparable to firing the Ion Cannon At Command & Conquer) have less than 1% of all Players ... Why? Presumably because hardly anyone comes over half the Game. Unfunny and Hain-induced Dialogues give you the Feeling you attend the Dress Rehearsal OF Theater AG of the 10 Class. No Man speaks the way the Script pretends, it's unintentionally weird. Oil Rush requires the Player above all else: Staying power and Micromanagement. Tactics rarely matter, but timing is important. Speed And Precision count. If you have some Luck and you can prevail against a repeatedly overpowering Opponent, then you will be rewarded with more boring still image animations that spit in front of your Feet the next Chunks of the Story. For the Money, Warcraft 3 gives you a lot more Background, Story, Character and Gameplay.
