Fog of War: The Battle for Cerberus Reviews

Liked it better then choice of robots. Finished one play through in 2 hours.

The game is far too short and suddenly ends, with a development totally in contradiction to the decision and the text just written on the previous segment. I don't know what happened in the making of this game book, but it's been the worst I've ever purchased, which is really sad, as it had great potential.

If you enjoy choose-your-own adventure books and great tactical challenges you'll love this game. This reminds me of the combat choice games made by Col. John Antal of Gearbox Software fame. Check this out.

I want to like this game, the feel it gives of being a officer in the astral force with boots on the ground is very well done as are the banter between characters but when it comes to who *you* are there's nothing more then a foot note about how you caused trouble back in the academy and what your gender/pronouns are. While the first half does a good job set dressing the universe (without the need for tech babble) and some basic characters it sprints to the end with little to no payoff in both choices (as they are a foot note in the epilogue) and characters that feel just as weak as you meet them.The stats while there are quite a few (6-7 "core" ones) it doesn't feel like they have any impact (i got by with them being in the back half of 30). What i would suggest is either 'mecha ace' for the future space war or sabres (game 1)/guns (game 2) of infinity for the feel of being a officer in a grand war.

A nice quick story with a good amount of options, and engaging cast. The 2 main story lines fit quiet well together, with most ending/solutions to the issues being satisfying, and making scene. Be a soldier, rebel, humanitarian, a monster, or a mix of all 4. There all options, leaving good replay ability. Again, this is a short story, but that's not a fault, being more then able to convey a thrilling story. If your looking for a quick read with a nice straight forward story, I'd say get it.

The game end suddenly and most of your minor choices does not matter the start of the game was fine but it felt like my choices did not matter that much I can't reccomend this to anyone just get another game from Choice Of Games

So, i've went through this once. My first Impression was "okay, nothing too insane on the amount of text we have to read" . Then there's the "Oh...Not many options", usually around 3-5 choices to pick through. The story seems engaging, there's romance (not like those romance novels you find in gas stations), and the characters are interesting enough to take notice they're..people too . Not the whole feeling "oh their just dumb people with good or bad P.O.V" kind of idea. I also do like the idea of the stat system its got going, though it does feel limited on certain parts due to how much "percentage" you need on a specific stat(s). For example, you need more % on Athletics to make your character to "do this and that" or you need this % on Charisma to convince people. All in all, This is a decent pass time of a interactive novel, encourages you to replay it, trying out different path ways depending on your stats and the choices you make. Edit: damn't all i had to edit one word from "their" to "they're"...yey grammar

"Choice of" games suddenly got worse. Specifically, Fog of War is a disappointment. It's short, it feels very much "on rails" and some roleplaying options leave you with very limited choices. If somebody made this game to sow how pointless the war is does a bang-up job of showing how pointless is to try and change anything in this scenario - even if and especially if you're honorable and try to do what people fighting a war a supposed to do, morally. So, basically, real life and your choices matter little. Nice idea for a "choice of" game.

A genuinely interesting moral quandary, do I do my best to complete my humanitarian mission in a colony that distrusts or outright hates everything I stand for, or do I help crush the rebel forces, and let someone else worry about distributing vaccines? I've finished my first playthrough, and I'll probably get another 3 or 4 out of it, which makes this pretty good value for money. The battle sections are pretty well put together, and the dev team has done a really good job of making each character unique. Keep pumping these adventures out, and I'll keep buying them.

I want to write an initial review for those wondering whether to buy or not even though I am not done yet. So far I am really enjoying this. If you are a fan of military sci/fi this is worth getting imho. Because I am something of a military tactics/history buff I found myself making good choices for tactics in the game. If a buyer is not a fan of tactics you may have a harder time in the game. You might want to take that into consideration. I will update once I have finished a play through. Update: Still working my way through but noticing the game breaks down in the middle of the story. There is a scene where the platoon gets scattered no matter what choice you make, and my character gets captured while reconning a rebel base. Meet Major Zhang and talk to him. Astral Corps raids base and I escape but go back to rescue one my troopers. I find said trooper a prisoner of Major Zhang. The game acts like this is the first time I met Zhang. Wait, what?
