Supreme Commander 2 – Overview
Supreme Commander 2 elevates the real-time strategy (RTS) genre to new heights with its expansive scale and tactical depth. Unlike typical RTS games, it features massive battles with hundreds to thousands of units, allowing players to experience warfare on an unprecedented level. As a Supreme Commander, you’ll harness your strategic prowess to dominate the battlefield.
Story
Set in the aftermath of the first game, Supreme Commander 2 plunges into a narrative driven by character relationships rather than political intrigue. Following the assassination of the Coalition’s President, the coalition fragments into several factions. The game’s story unfolds through three distinct storylines, each offering a unique perspective and deepening your connection to the characters representing the major factions:
- The United Earth Federation
- The Cyberian Nation
- The Illuminate
Gameplay
The gameplay in Supreme Commander 2 retains the core mechanics of the RTS genre:
- Resource Management: Mine resources, build structures, and recruit units.
- Research and Technology: Advance your technologies to stay ahead of your enemies.
However, what sets Supreme Commander 2 apart is its emphasis on scale and customization:
- Massive Battles: Command armies of hundreds or even thousands of units in real-time.
- Faction Uniqueness: Each of the three factions has its own distinct units and strategies.
- Experimental Units: Design and deploy experimental units that can dramatically impact the outcome of battles.
The game also introduces several enhancements to streamline gameplay:
- Instant Deployment: Summon new units directly onto the battlefield.
- Improved UI: A redesigned, transparent user interface simplifies managing your army and base.
