A cross between vehicular action and cerebral strategy games, it let players loose into enormous island archipelagos at the helm of a mighty aircraft character. A fleet of robotic planes and could be deployed, ordered around from an overworld map or controlled directly, providing a true genre hybrid that was years before its time. Put simply, Speccy and miggy owners had never played anything remotely like it.
Bohemia Interactive's reboot, the somewhat confusingly-subtitled Gaea Mission, plans to change everything... and nothing at all. By staying true to the original game but providing a new lick of graphical paint, tightened mechanics, greater scope and a few new features, the studio behind the ArmA series may be set to accomplish one of the most difficult feats of development possible. An arcade reboot that's actually worth a damn... and an action/strategy hybrid that works properly."
PJ: "Carrier Command: Gaea Mission. A re-imagining of a little known, but well-loved, strategy game from days of yore. Made by those lovely people who bring us the highly praised, though flawed, ARMA games. How well do their talents translate across to a more sedate, though equally tactically oriented style of play? Walrus."
Worst carrier game I have ever played in my life. I destroyed my APC by driving up a ramp. Not to mention the AI killing my units, yet I can only pilot/command 1/4 of the units at a time.
Graphics was great I agree, but they seriously didn't think everything through on this "remake" aka "re-destroy"
More deals from Steam, how's your wallet coping?
Bohemia Interactive has released a brand new update for the Windows PC version of Carrier Command: Gaea Mission, which released in October last year.
