Considering the original game is no longer playable for me on new systems, this is a great and faithful way to experience that blast from the past.
So you play as either a chad nation of german porkies, trying to obtain a new fertile land for their poor people, or virgin french rabbits, preventing the first ones to do so. And you, by providing your tactical genius will bring victory to one of the warring kingdoms.
Basically, the campaign is just a set of missions without much plot or connection to cinematics inbetween them. You send your boys in tanks to shoot their boys in same tanks till dead. Every single one unit has their unique quirk like swimming, calling air support, digging himself a hole and all that. All units also have their costs, so you can't just spam the enemy with hundred mortars. Enemy can though. And they fucking will. The design work on units pleased me before and pleasing me still, they are just great to look at. Looking at wheeled unit to bobble backward and forward during stop animation, seeing your tanks swinging their turrets in search of enemy and overall animation work brings a little smile on my face. It's just great.
SHAME I CANT SAY THE SAME ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY THOUGH. BOY, WOULD IT BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR KEYBINDS OR TURN SUBTITLES ON.
Yeah, the "remaster" word in subtitle is telling you literally this, absolutely same game from God knows what year but now working without having to sacrifice a goat every time you turn the game on. But the package you buy overall is absolutely great. Not only will you get a perfectly working and complete game for dirt cheap, you can also find a pseudo-artbook with silly concepts, dev diaries and full soundtrack, which is pretty good by the way.
Now, how long do I have to wait for someone to remake Hover Ace?
