Command & Conquer - Gold Edition

Game review

C&C is a legendary strategy in which you take on the role of one of the two playable parties (GDI - Global Defense Initiative or Brotherhood of NOD) and your goal will either be to prevent the world from being taken over by the mysterious brotherhood led by the mad leader Kane, or on the contrary, to destroy everything at your cost in the way of power. All this with the help of one extraterrestrial raw material that came to Earth after a meteor impact, and that is Tiberium.

C&C, together with Dune II: Battle for Arrakis, determined the direction in which the RTS genre would go for many years to come. It is already a classic system of extracting raw materials using harvesters and then building buildings and units from the obtained credits. There are power plants, silos, barracks, factories, radar, etc. As units you will be able to use soldiers, buggies, tanks and many other (including air) units. The entire game is blessed with nice graphics for its time, which still has its charm today, along with quality music and sounds in the form of announcements and explosions. As in one of the few games, the crazy villain - the messiah Kane - gained maximum popularity in it.

Players can deploy a range of military assets including heavy artillery, formidable tanks, and versatile light infantry. Each unit type plays a crucial role in the battlefield, requiring players to develop sophisticated strategies to outmaneuver their opponents. The game challenges players to think tactically about resource management, unit positioning, and timing of attacks.
