Customer Reviews of Total Annihilation: Kingdoms

Personally, I think it's quite cool... :-P
I see alot of people on here griping and nitpicking about what this game has and doesn't have. Is it something groundbreaking? Nah... Is it something that hasn't been done before? Nah... Is it still a pretty darn nifty game? you betcha! It's a RTS, period, and all RTS games seem to suffer universally from similar ailments. These being certain tactics, units, et al that are very powerful, yada yada... just play it! I happen to think the graphics are pretty darn nice myself, and the elevation changes are quite good as well. FOUR sides to choose from gives a nice variety of units and such. Not alot to be said, some things could have been done better, but it's a cool game. I think, however, that the "super units" could be all together bypassed if Cavedog and other Designers (Blizzard for instance) would adopt the Tech Level variable, a la Command & Conquer, for multiplay games. Sometime I wana just batten down and have an all-out slug fest with the basic 'grunt' units in the game. All the upper-level stuff is cool, but it really does detract from the fun of the game(s) because there's no strategy involved in dropping a Nuke/Magic Death Spell/Whatever, on your opponent. Anyhow, I ramble, hehehe, did I mention this is a good game and you should buy it?

The Internet more than makes up
Many people are coming off with a bad impression of TA:K. Yes, the game did seem unfinished at its initial release, but the online TA:K community more than makes up for it. You can get the units to make up for what the game initially lacked, and the player-made units are a lot of fun. There are even entire races that can be incorporated into the game.

Of course, if you're looking to buy TA:K, you should probably get Iron Plague while you're at it, and be sure to pick up as many Net add-ons as you can, since those are what really give the game the boost it needed.

In addition, the Multiplayer is fun, since you can go on the Internet and buddy up with another person. It's highly addictive to play with others, so if you get it, be sure to log on to the Boneyards.

The best strategy game ever!
There is no reason why you shouldn't buy this game for only 4 bucks, even $10 is not to expensive. The buildings and creatures you can create are extra ordinary. By that I mean, awsome! You can build dragons, trolls, mage towers, warships, you name it! It runs on XP too. You can play the adventure where each level has a different map and battle senario. Or, just play a game against the computer where you chose the map, population limit, and which of the four empires you want to fight with. It's still fun after monthes of gaming.

Pros: Imaginetive creatures. Great maps. A large viriety of buildings and creatures. And basically everything.

Cons: Takes alot of RAM. Internet play is hard to set up.

Bottom line: I give it 9.5 out of 10, go get it!
