Potato is yum

I really like starcraft and I’ve always loved RTS games. When I first heard that the developers of starcraft were making a new RTS game that was supposed to be an improved version of starcraft, I was very excited. Unfortunately, my hope was shattered during the alpha tests where pretty horrendous performance issues and many other questionable design decisions made me rethink my choice.

Now that the full release of Stormgate is out, I’ve decided to look through all my opinions again. When I started writing this post I actually thought my thoughts would change but unfortunately not much has changed. My somewhat old computer still struggles to play the game at a reasonable level of performance and the characters aren’t synced up with what they say. It really feels like they rushed out the project and it’s kind of disappointing. I’m keeping an eye out for other upcoming RTS games because I’ve been keeping track of three or four indie titles that seem much more promising than this.

Kind of a bummer but at least it’s free.
