Here’s what our senior writer as well as content editor, Simon Priest, had to say about Universe at War: Earth Assault, PC strategy game set in the near future.
Conclusion (8.2):
Universe At War: Earth Assault is a finely shaped game with some underlying issues to be sure, mainly UI related, but Petroglyph’s brand of cheesy action humour and the great diversity of strategy, especially when playing against other red blooded players, can make war a guilty pleasure again. Hopefully the next instalments will not only take us galactic wide, with sleek space battles naturally, but we’ll get to see the design short comings hounded out to make this an even better whole new universe in peril – it certainly has the heart and the bravado for it.
