Perimiter 1 fan passing on this deal..

[[NOPE] Sigvar]

I played Perimiter 1 for quite a while and enjoyed it. I have learned to look at reviews and for this game they all say this game is lacking compared to the original.

I am ignoring the reviews by Steam users who played it, mostly because the longest term player has 3.3 hrs in the game which is alot like looking at the cover of the box and making a statement on the games quality. Dont review if you haven't at least played through the campaign or put at least 30 hrs into the game, any game...

Can't agree about time: it depends on the game and the user, who plays it :). For example: I have a game called "Poker Night 2". Played it 14 hours total (according to Steam counter) and got almost all achievements except one (for now). So I think I can write a rewiew about it :). Another example - "Portal 2". Got me 7 hours of playtime to complete it. Could wrote a recommendation about it after 1 hour of playing :).
My point is that if user going to write a real review, with real pros and cons, he should at least try more than a half of game possibilities. And another point: played time is not always a thing that should be considered when reading review. Of course, review from user who played it a lot of time have more value, no arguing there.

About the game: for this price I strongly suggest to try it. Even I bought it, and I already had it on DVD for a long time. Payed for DVD much more (in $ it would be about 11 or so) than it cost now in Steam with 90% discount. In Steam I didn't install it yet :).
It is different from the first part. Unit transformation is exist, but not as many possible combinations. Basically it is 3 classes of units - light, medium and heavy. Each class have two forms - land and air (flying), differences between forms are: targets that they can attack (differs for each class) and flying or not :). Plus there is special units, one for each side.
To construct any building you need a core, to construct a core you need a unit which transforms into it. Not sure how it called in English version. Each core can transform landscape around it (dry and lift it to core level or drown it), how - depends on which side you are on. If you build many and place them wisely you can destroy your enemy just by drying/drowning him. Terraformer units are no more.

Well, there is much more to say about this game, but I think that what already been said is enough. And yes, I played the first part (with addon) too, many times, and I still like the second part. That's why I suggest to try it.

You make some good points.

Sounds like it's worth a try for the price. The first one was pretty fun after all.

+1, i also love how 1 side uses water and the other doesn't, although that does make the harkback feel overpowered alot of the time.
What i also think is cool is the water in this game too, the way it isn't static like most games, the water level actually goes up and down and you can morph the terrain too as a gameplay feature.

First game was good, this one not so much... the scale of difficulty is a joke in this one, the first one had challenge all the way through, this one only had challenge on the hammer of exodus mission in chapter 1... can't beat it as they swarm my base way too early and flood it at same time... kinda miss the old guys who used scourge over this water version of them...

I found this one somewhat easy, all you have to do is spam generators and set them to auto terraform aswell as using quite a few turrets. Try to beach the Harkback power cores too, that'll make it hard for them to defend themselves.

ive compleaded this game on both sides even played all the multi player maps and i did do a review on it and just in my opinion just doesnt tie in to the original perimitor game or the emporers testiment they were both fun games but this 1 sadly just isnt that fun wish there was more to it
