I totally agree with the review, and despite some major bumps in the road like the economy bug, and some other medium sized annoyances, the type of game Codeforce managed to develop on a indie dev budget, IS PHENOMENAL!
Not to mention the A+ post release support, I mean Armada took twice as long to patch less annoyances.
Great Review,
And VarekRaith some games are not meant to be MP, but I guess to each their own.
Exactly. I'm of the opinion that MP pretty much ruins the SP experience in any game that has it.
:shrugs:
The real time mechanic in this game is very much akin (programming wise) to Hearts of Iron as well as the scope(load wise) and it has multiplayer. I think DW could benefit greatly from multiplayer but am perfectly happy to wait til the next game in the series. DW2 anyone?
And single player/multiplayer enjoyment are in no way mutually exclusive, it is however possible for a developer to make one good at the expense of another but there is no intrinsic reason why that has to happen.

Indeed this game would be fine in MP..I've played MP matches of hoi and eu ...
Sadly i cant consider any game without MP to be a great great game. Just cause the AI isnt going to be capable of long term challenge .. And thats why its a negative in alot of reviews not to have it.. No MP hurts long term playability .

Very pleased to see this review. Yes, DW has rough edges, but it really is a landmark 4x title.
