Incoming Forces Reviews

I have mixed feelings about this game. Its a good classic shooter for its time where as you've got 3 types of vehicles to choose from, with the slight repetive missions it seems like the best Classic Shooter for its time. Honestly I thought we were going to play an FPS as a soldier but I guess I kinda read "Ground Forces" wrong but hey, it still seemed Ok. Now I'm not recommending it because most people would find it repetitive and ongoing with the same thing over and over again as well with the massive jumps in diffilculty that is just insane, Easy is too easy but Medium changes everything to the point where it would be hard and hard would be insaner so its really hard to get what you enjoy. But if your into Classic shooters, I'm all for it!

You need to install so much other stuff to get the game to work okay. Get Incoming on ZOOM Platform. That one has everything preinstalled, along with the Subversions DLC and the game's manual and soundtrack for you to download.

It may show 0 hours played on record, but I played this all the time as a kid and wasted so many hours on it. This title is misleading, however. It includes "Incoming" in the installation, and asks which game you want to play when launching it. You can also play directly from the game folder without steam. The worst issues about this game are getting it to work on a newer computer, almost solely so. Thankfully there are some good guides here on steam. The actual game is quite fun. The soundtrack in particular is probably one of the most underrated, amazing soundtracks to a game from the 90s you'll ever hear. The game can also be moved through pretty quickly if you know what you're doing. Its a great "I need a break" game, if you want to step back from DotA or CS:GO and need to refresh yourself with something else. There's a special tweak to play the game in 60 fps over 30 fps, and that makes the game move twice is fast, which is surprisingly good at refreshing your reflexes for when you go back to your competitive games. I wouldn't play incoming forces, but I'd play the original incoming.

Incoming (1998) is bundled with Incoming Forces. Incoming (1998) needs a bit of work to get it working properly, but once it does, it's a brutal throw back to late 90s arcade shooting game and a lot of fun !

The visuals look stunning for its year of release. Flying is the best part of these games, but the land combat with the hover tank is ass yet manageable. The plot is dumb, but it's not where these games shine anyway. The missions might be too easy and repeat the similar kind of tasks. It's nothing outstanding, but they're two decent games.

It contains the base game called "Incoming!"! If you are able to put a dgVoodoo2 into the games directory it should run just fine. If you have texture/graphical issues, set the Output API to "Direct3D MS 11 WRAP (software)", and it will run as intended. Oh and by the way: Game is a blast from the past.

I loved these games back in the day, but these need work to function correctly. I can install software and make changes to make the game playable, but why are we paying money for a port of two games that have a lot of problems running? Please make updates to these. As is, I would rather play Incoming on my Dreamcast.

An arcade space shooter which is a pure classic. Comes along with the original Incoming too which is equally good. Gameplay is very fun and easy to get into. =)

Says I have played 2 hours, which is interesting seeing as this game does not work. It does run in the background until you manually close it out through task manager. This game has lots of nostalgia attached to it, but I cannot recommend a game that does not work and steam will not let me get a refund for it.

[b]PROS:[/b] + fun gameplay + big range of vehicles + great vehicle controls + nice story + cheesy B-movie cutscenes + Incoming is in the bundle [b]CONS:[/b] - problems starting on Windows 8.1 & above - graphic glitches & clipping - somewhat short game time - cheesy B-movie cutscenes - Incoming has poor compatibility, bad graphic settings & mouse control issues [b]Comment:[/b] First I will mention the bundled Incoming game, the parent of Incoming Forces. It was an amazing game at the time when it came out and was lots of fun. You play as a human soldier defending Earth from aliens. However, it aged pretty badly, not only in the graphics sector but in OS compatibility. While I was able to run the game I always had some upper bar or other obstruction over the top of the game screen. On top of that the controls are terribly clunky especially with mouse so just go full keyboard control instead. So perhaps try it out but move on to the much better sequel Incoming Forces where this time you are in control of an alien pilot. The story is not complex but somewhat cute and quite enjoyable. The range of vehicles expands, you get to control turrets, tanks, artillery and a range of air fighters. Missions are replayable separately and have a High Score system. The transition between vehicles is really smooth and controls are great. The graphics are a bit clunky but that does not matter in this case. However only 16 (mostly short) missions is not that much. Overall a fun shooter with a big range of vehicles and nice (although cheesy) story. Recommended.
