Nov 04, 2016 Dark Reign 2. Why fix something that ain't broke? You don't need a game to be insanely original for it to be good. Though Dark Reign 2 doesn't provide much in the way of real innovation, it does offer compelling gameplay, challenging missions, an intuitive interface, and one of the best engines to power an RTS game. Dark Reign 2 takes cues from shooters, to sort of take you into the world of the game at a more personal level. Don't worry, the staples of a RTS game are all there, unchanged, but they coagulate in a novel and interesting formula, one that is not as usual or as used in other games, which is why Dark Reign 2 is so interesting. Even so far as to go download Virtual Box which was great cause it allows me to play the Original Dark Reign now which also does the same as this game. Id load the game and well malwarebytes anti malware would tell me the launcher to Dark Reign 2 Launcher.exe was malware. Restored it added it to the exemption list. In fact, Dark Reign 2 is a prequel to Dark Reign and each mission documents the foundation of the evil empire. The first few single-player missions introduce you to the various units and methods of attack and defense. Dark Reign 2 offers very little in the way of training missions - especially compared to Sierra's Ground Control.
