Tempest Rising review

Meh

by bigbaddice

[4/10] Tempest Rising could be a fairly interesting game—especially given how few RTS titles are released nowadays—but unfortunately, it ends up feeling far too similar to Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. This goes beyond mere inspiration or genre blending; even the campaign structure is practically a one-to-one copy of the classic. It’s hardly a spoiler to mention the presence of a third hidden faction—especially since the developers advertise it openly on Steam—but again, this mirrors Tiberium Wars almost identically. Add to that some awkward unit voiceovers that feel completely out of place for their factions, and sadly, what we’re left with feels more like a low-budget knockoff of a much better game. It’s a real shame the developers didn’t choose to carve out their own vision, because Tempest Rising had the potential to stand out in a genre that’s been craving fresh entries for years. Unfortunately for Tempest Rising, I revisited Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars just a few weeks ago—and I have to say, it still holds up far better. The superior dialogue, quality voice acting, and well-crafted, cohesive campaign make it an engaging experience that Tempest Rising simply can't match.
