After a pretty confusing tutorial, and half an hour of playing the game, I still didn't see the point, and I wasn't having fun.You direct your little workers to maintain a terraformed area, build energy towers, and bring up your shields when aliens attack. Later on, you use a very overcomplicated array of combat units to fight off the enemies instead of just bringing up your shields. Nothing is properly explained; the objectives in the missions force you into a very specific direction, and none of the game systems feel satisfying to use. For these reasons, Perimeter has been chopped.. Giant pyramid city-colonies towering over energy-conducing spikes that shoot laser shields to the sky. Terramorfing robots shape the world around them and then merge to become one powerful unit, maybe several smaller ones.Desperate nomad civilizations traveling through wormholes and using transhumanist superpowers.It's not like anything before it, and there's nothing like it, probably because it's too weird for imitation.It hasn't aged as fine wine does and is hardly the best RTS around, but Perimeter will leave a mark on your soul.. Although old, this is a very nice and original strategy game. Control your base, and build up your energy network. Use that as a shield.Build base units as building blocks, and transform them into specialized units as you will.... good game old but fun at times. What idiot made this crap. It keeps telling you that an energy core is under attack, but there is no sign of anything actually attacking any energy cores until the core under attack is destroyed. By this time, of course, it is too late to do anything about it!!!I may at some point of time try to play again, but for now this is my review!!. Game has some interesting concepts, but is marred by bugs in the tutorial and a poor interface.The tutorial mission cuts off explanations with new lines of dialogue constantly.In game, the units can be hard to see\/select, and can be hard to tell what's damaging them. Also doesn't seem to be possible to move units of a certain type individually, though I'm not sure on that one. Perhaps it's just not properly explained, or that explanation was cut off.. this is awsome but only if online worked. Played this game about 7 years ago on the old CD when I was 13 and couldn't finish it.Good RTS for the time and nostalgia brought me back to it. Graphics are decent for a game that came out over 10 years ago and audio is alright. Gameplay is pretty good but its not an easy RTS. The story is bearable but not bad enough to stay away. overall rating: 7\/10 Buy it if you want a fairly cheap RTS that will give a decent amount of play time and good gameplay not if you want an amazing looking game. Bought this game second-hand at a used video game store ~10 years ago for $5. First time I played, it, I had no idea wtf I was doing. I lost the third campaign mission more times than I care to recount, then I quit the game. About a year later, I came back to it with a clearer mind and figured it out, peice by peice. Each part of this RTS is unique and great. Resources:You have one resource, energy. The main source in the beginning of the game is by having an area of space filled with your "Perimeter" (hence the name of the game). Not by the NUMBER of energy producing buildings you have, like I first thought when I played this game, but by the amount of terraformed AREA covered by them.Terraforming:You have to terraform the land to be able to construct buildings, which allow you to make different turrets and units. Buildings that are on ground that was previously terraformed but is now damaged, either by earthquakes, or other units' effects, they start to take damage. Also, damaged terraformed ground cannot support your "Perimeter" so you lose that amount of energy production.Units:One of the most important aspects of the game to learn quickly. To start off, there are three types of units. These units in and of themselves are pratically useless, they do very little damage and have very little health. However, through the act of combining them, you can transform them into vastly different more powerful units. Some shoot lasers, some launch missles, some hurl rocks, and some even tunnel underground. Each of these larger units takes a certain number of the smaller units.Buildings:There are 3 main types of buildings: energy related, research, and turrets. Energy related include the energy producing building, which also can generate a sheild (for a substantial amount of energy), and energy storage buildings. Research buildings allow you to building bigger and better units and turrets; all you have to do is upgrade them to the proper level and the unit\/turret unlocks. Turrets are turrets, they shoot stuff. The important thing about the buildings is that they can be captured. In order for a building to be considered "yours" it has to be connected to your HQ building, either directly or through relays or the energy producing building. So, if your chain of relays on the way to the building from your HQ is broken, then the building loses power, becomes neutral, and is up for grabs. I love this in games! You can capture your enemy's labs so you don't have to make them yourself, and you can get labs your race can't even build!This is a very different and unique RTS. Requires a huge amount of testing to figure out the best units and best strategies to use and which labs to get first and where to put your defenses and the ratio of building production to terraforming speed and the amount of energy you need and everything! My god this is a complicated game and I love it! This game is well worth it if you're willing to muddle through the non-informative campaign and figure things out for yourself.P.S. I will say, if you have the opportunity to by Perimeter 2, don't bother, it sucks. It's a completely unimaginative RTS that they\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665out into the stores. It's NOTHING like this one, nothing at all. It has a very simplistic "make dis den upgrade dat and you wins" strategy. Just spam energy producing buildings and you'll never run out of energy. Not to mention it's a completely unbalanced broken PoS. I could go on about it for hours, but I won't harp any more on it here than I already have.
