This game is a great game if you are searching for something that includes strategy. This game really makes you think about how you want your game plan to play out and this can vary depending on your choices. I recommend this and hopefully this game becomes something bigger in the future

It has potential to be a decent RTS.
That said, unit pathfinding is.... terrible. Sense of preservation is non-existant.
And the AI will target high value units without fail, while your units cannot take an order without stopping whatever they are doing and pausing a bit. make the AI for my own units at least half as smart as the AI for enemy units and I'd maybe reccomend this. as it is, it's a total flop for me.

Bugs out in windowed mode on linux. Literally unplayable. Can't even get back to the settings menu to switch it back to fullscreen.

Definitely recommend this for those who enjoy the RTS genre. Reminds me a lot of C&C and the likes. It's very fast pace and has quite a steep learning curve... but becomes really fun once you get the hang of things. You could easily sink a couple hours in without even noticing

For me the most capacity in a game is its capacity for new players.
The lightweight crash graphics, along with its fun and intuitive gameplay, attract both casual and competitive gamers to the game. form a clan for the next steps, want, and play non-stop.

This is a great game, if you really like RTS games I would highly recommend this. The level designs are fantastic and the game-play is really great. It very fasted paced but it still great, the graphics really remind me of the old RTS games back then but it awesome. Sound design is great and the campaign so far is also really good. It still in early access but it defiantly worth getting as their are almost no bugs or any weird glitches. Highly recommend it

[b] Very good looking game, though well simples, it's a great ideal game of genre Real-Time Strategy that is new in the gaming market, hope the game evolve a lot and become a greater one on future.

A solid RTS game. The campaign certainly offers its twist and turns. The tactical battles may seem simplistic and without much player involvement, but once you understand what’s happening, you really need to spend your energy wisely.
So far, I've sunk 5+ hours into this game and I haven't even touched the skirmish mode yet

Wow, this game is a pure Nostalgia trip in more ways than one!
Fatal Error reminded me of one of those big box games that small independent computer stores used to sell back in the innovative, fast moving Golden Age of PC Gaming (1995-99). A game that would sit on the shelf for months, never being touched or considered because they weren't covered in PC Gamer or similar publication. That was until 13/14 year old me walked in with enough pocket money and bought these obscure games. 'Warbreeds' and 'Virus: The Game' being 2 notable games from memory.
Fatal Error looks and plays exactly like one of these obscure games. It might not be pretty, but it's by no means a bad thing. It's great fun and isn't afraid to be what it is. The mechanics are solid and the AI is well done, especially in the campaign which has that classic challenging element. Some might call it cheating or just script heavy, which it probably is. But if you played games from the RTS Boom era, it just feels so right and you should give it a go too!
