So, the game has terrible music, unimpressive graphics, and a singleplayer mode that struck me as a waste of time. It’s something that simply isn’t possible in the singleplayer. And team multiplayer is even more glorious-those games are all about wordless cooperation, about games turning on a dime, about perpetrating a fantastic kind of human chaos. Other players in your game will know you by your favorite tricks. The game is so slight in visuals that player behavior takes the absolute center stage. There are such a diversity of viable strategies that by the time you’ve grasped the basic mechanics you’ve probably developed a distinctly personal play-style. And because your enemies here are people, not AI, the kind of strategy and trickery you can pull off is so much broader, so much more satisfying. By manipulating your troop output, you can trick enemies into thinking you have more or less troops than you actually do by changing your troops’ direction mid-flight,y ou can pull off some impressive feints. The result is an incredible range of strategy-incredible, really, for a game with only one kind of troop, one kind of command, and automated unit production. The pull and play of triangles is like a conversation between opponents. Everything that happens is right there on the table, ready for players to draw their own conclusions from. The units are triangles they point where they’re going. See, Galcon multiplayer is is more explicitly a kind of communication than it is in any other strategy game I’ve tried, simply because it’s so stripped down. And it did not feel like a waste of time. I played multiplayer once last week-during finals week at my college-for over three hours straight.
This is mainly because the multiplayer is so fantastic. This is a game which deserved more than to be weighted down with a million irrelevancies. And then there’s the AI. It comes in ten levels, some or most of which I could not actually tell apart from one another while playing.
GALCON GAME PC
And the developers tried to give this PC version some more totally unneeded complexity by including a seething mess of ill-explained singleplayer game modes that seem to have no reason for existing. Admirable depth evolving out of a very slight, pared-down set of mechanics. Because that’s what this game is all about: circles and triangles.
