About Supreme’s Murder Mystery:
This is quite possibly one of the greatest RTS games ever made, it has an amazing sense of scale, the smallest units are tanks, you can zoom out all the way to view the map all at once with symbols showing unit types (if you have multiple monitors you can actually set a second monitor to always have this tactical view on). Supreme Commander even uses a full ballistics simulation rather than dice rolls for combat which leads to all sorts of interesting strategies using terrain and adds a sense of realism. building air, land, and sea units allows for really interesting and unique opportunities for combined arms, and different ways you can exploit an opposing players weakness. the campaign also has a great storyline and slowly eases you into the different levels of units and the different areas of combat. Each faction has it’s own unique advantages and disadvantages which makes fighting them interesting and the unique aesthetics of each faction helps give them an identity. while steam shows I only have 7 hours of playtime, I have actually owned a disc copy of this game for years and have played it frequently, it remains my favourite RTS to this day. Unfortunately the original multiplayer servers are gone since they were run by gamespy, however you can download a mod called Forged Alliance Forever if you have the forged alliance DLC which adds functional multiplayer, ranked, mods, adn co-op. and finally, if you already own a copy of this on a disc, and love it as much as I did, you can put the cd key into steam to redeem a steam copy (which will include forged alliance even if your original copy didn’t)
