Pervading throughout the whole experience was a level of extreme polish. Released in 1999, the original Homeworld was innovative from the start, with the biggest feature being its 3D plane of movement. What Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak lacks in the 3D movement of the original Homeworld it makes up for with tight combat and unit design, and stunning desert vistas. Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, however, is a worthy successor to the franchise.
Homeworld was one of the few good Space real-time strategy games out there and is a beloved classic. No doubt that was a purposeful attempt to make the game more accessible, but you only end up getting frustrated when there’s no way to make everyone move at the same speed, protect artillery behind a line of defensive vehicle, or even point them in a specific direction.I have to admit I was extremely skeptical when they said the next Homeworld game wouldn’t be set in space. But overall this a simpler game than the originals, with no ability to micromanage unit formations. As such Mad Max-esque buggies and cars take on the role of fighters, although the carrier can eventually launch aircraft as well.ĭespite being stuck planetside the game isn’t entirely two-dimensional and gaining the high ground is vital, and a new concept for Homeworld.

It’s also all strangely reminiscent of the planet Jakku from The Force Awakens, except with more tanks and less Daisy Ridley. With a giant land-based aircraft carrier as your home base the gameplay is still very similar to the originals, only without the complications of working in three-dimensional space. But all you need to know is that you’re scavenging wrecked ships in order to create new, functioning vehicles of various sizes. Homeworld: Deserts Of Kharak (PC) – that got ‘imĪs much as we enjoy the Homeworld games we have to admit we’ve never cared at all about the story, and as you might gather from the subtitle it’s not any more interesting or accessible as presented here.
