This game is the first strike against the fledgling development house.
DOMINION STORM OVER GIFT 3 PC
This game doesn't bode well for the overhyped Ion Storm - an extremely generic game such as Dominion has no place on the roster of a company that claims it will revolutionize the PC market with its original product. The challenge of creating a powerful fortress of the other games in the genre just isn't here - it's simply a race to become a mob in Dominion. The game boils down to who can find a well first and get their large group of troops to their opponent's base. Where these games usually shine is in their multiplayer aspects, and even here Dominion disappoints. Worse still, the game's admittedly well-produced, full-motion video sequences are used over and over again until you want to scream as soon as they show up.

Bumping the resolution up doesn't necessarily make it easy to see the tiny icons of the troops, either. The dated graphics improve slightly with an increase in resolution (up to 1280x1024 if your system can handle it), but the tile set used for the landscape is not only bland but also downright boring. Sure you can sell the structures to make room, but that puts you at a disadvantage for the rest of the game. In this case, you just have to start the mission over. Even if it looks like it fits, in some cases, the interface just won't let you place it. Sadly, the refinery has an odd shape, and if you accidentally place other structures too close to the well, you're screwed. In this case, you just need to plop a refinery on top of a small well and it does the work for you. Like most of the real-time strategy games of late, you to harvest resources for funds. Sure, each race has its own set of vehicles and soldiers, but they're so similar, it's almost a game in itself to spot the differences. In fact, there are four different races of aliens, but unfortunately, the only real differences between them seem to be their video cut sequences. It's almost identical in play to Command & Conquer, except this time, it's aliens at war instead of humans. In fact, this game is probably the most generic real-time strategy title to hit the PC yet. So what does Dominion add to the genre? Not much. Do we need another? Ion Storm thinks we do and has delivered its own take on the genre with the frighteningly-titled Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3. Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3 is one of those RTS games that took inspiration from Age of Empires and transferred the same formula to SF setting, fun gameplay, awesome music, what more you can ask for.We've got Command & Conquer, WarCraft, StarCraft, and zillions of other real-time strategy titles lining the shelves.

Soundtrack of the game was awesome, you can check it bellow. A war has broken out on a planet called Gift 3 between four different races: the heavy but slow Darkens, the very light but weak Scorps, difficult to. Every faction also has special super weapons that could change the course of any battle. For example Humans are average in every area of combat, while Darkens have many heavy units, Scorps have many weak units and such. Those four factions are Humans, Scorps, Darkens and Mercs.Įvery faction is distinct from one another with different robotic SF themes. Story of this game is happening on the planet called Gift 3 where 4 factions are fighting for dominion. Game will immediately give you old school vibe once you see the screenshots from the game, great looking isometric graphics, I love it. Game was released in 1998 before Starcraft and was developed by Ion Storm Studios. If you talk about obscure forgotten RTS games from the 90's you must mention Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3.
