Computer Games writes: "I was very tempted, at the beginning of this article, to describe Galactic Dream: Rage of War as a "real time space strategy that looks and feels like Red Alert", proudly sign the work and consider it done. Aside from the raised eyebrow of my editor-in-chief, I would have felt proud and fulfilled by such a detailed and complete journalistic masterpiece. Unfortunately for the indie producers of Evolution Vault, the above description also happens to be exact.
There is little room for maneuvering in the real time strategies genre as it is, and Rage of War loses the battle precisely because it plays by the rules of others. It brings nothing new or innovating in terms of gameplay, while the graphics could not impress us since we're talking about independent producers, with limited resources at their disposal."
Plus:
* Large scale battles
Minus:
* Antiquated gameplay
* Non-existent AI
* Poor single-player
* Annoying voice-over
"Galactic Dream: Rage of War", a space strategy game from Evolution Vault, spruces up their game with its 1.2 patch. They're mostly small tweaks, but all of them are quite welcome. They don't disrupt the gameplay in any fashion; the patch only clears up general, technical bugs.
TGR - "Strategy games are often the brain trust of the gaming world, asking for slow-paced motions broken up by periods of intensely destructive activity, and resulting in missions that can last for hours. While they may not attract the widespread following that the genre has in comparison with other genres, the strategy genre still has a firm foothold in the gaming market as evidenced by the recent appearance of games like Universe at War: Earth Assault or the continuing popularity of the Command and Conquer, Warcraft, and Starcraft series. As with all gaming genres, though, it's not only open to the big and the bright, but also the independent market as is the case with the game Galactic Dream: Rage of War which has been developed by the relatively unknown firm Evolution Vault and published by the equally unknown Strategy First."
