Our take on MegaGlest
The store emphasis on extensive content and multiplayer does not foreground two practical constraints: online play requires a stable connection, and a disconnected player cannot return to an ongoing match. The early pace can also shift quickly once fighting begins, especially against aggressive computer opponents.
What is MegaGlest?
MegaGlest is a 3D real-time strategy game centered on controlling armies from seven factions: Tech, Magic, Egypt, Indians, Norsemen, Persian, and Romans.
Matches combine combat management with city construction, scouting, and orders for newly created units. Advanced games can involve more than 100 units per player, with large games reaching more than 300. The game includes over 80 maps, 19 environment tilesets, and a map editor for creating new content. An included mod manager provides access to additional free content. Single-player matches use adjustable computer opponents with aggressive, random behavior. Multiplayer supports cooperative and human-versus-human matches for up to 8 players, but online games require a stable internet connection and do not allow rejoining an ongoing match.
