"Overall, the game is definitely worth the price and will provide some good entertainment. Hardcore RTS fans won't find the game to be very good unless they look at it as a new type of game as opposed to an RTS, and casual gamers will find they can play and enjoy the game even without being fans of RTS's. As such the game fits a nice niche along with an amazing price. If a person can look past a few flaws then they should find an enjoyable game for a low price." ... Read full review

"Finally, adding some longevity to the game, Under Siege includes a fairly powerful level editor that's at least on par with most PC games. While the game's light on actual strategy and heavy on micromanagement and instant to instant tactics, it's still not a bad choice for people looking for quick, RTS-style skirmishes on the PS3." ...

It had a promising release that caused the number of countries where it was available to increase and reach to "more than 50 countries",It had a promising release that caused the number of countries where it was available to increase and reach to "more than 50 countries", winning customers with its magnificent graphics, the compatibility with the playstation move remote, its multiplayer option, the editor option that allowed the players to easily create their own levels , but above all with it´s low price (10.99 euros.)

The game was in the top 10 best-selling games on PSN but could not resist the harsh criticism about the game difficulty.

Nevertheless the game before disappearing gain attention worldwide being evaluated by a large number of critics and getting some awards along the way.

Under Siege was the first and only game Portuguese to reach the Playstation 3(They even made a comic!)
It had some good reviews which highlighted the design and innovative art Under Siege but what matters is the gameplay itself and the casual player ranked it as "too difficult" and showed no patience or sympathy for the game.

It was a flop? Not exactly. It had a very promising launch but failed to captivate the player to continue playing. Still it managed to do great things that have never before a Portuguese game had done. So: Congratulations Seed Studios!… Expand

It's in no way, by far, a great RTS game by any means. But, for it's price and availability on a console, it's certainly a bargain. I wasIt's in no way, by far, a great RTS game by any means. But, for it's price and availability on a console, it's certainly a bargain. I was turned off by a few things however:

1)You often can't see more of the map than a few feet in front of your troops, other than a small lit up area where your objective point lies.

2) At the start of each battle you're unable to move your starting spawn points to better position different groups; such as your soldiers and your archers etc.

3) Often times, certain troops would get stuck on a wall or corner, and at one point I found myself forced to restart as two of my archery units had gotten themselves trapped in a wall and nothing I did would remove them.

I was also rather disappointed by the somewhat uselessness of later troops. The basic Soldiers and Archers are all you ever need to get you through the game, as other roles such as the Mekitu, the Wari, and the Shifters proved far too limiting or pointless by comparison. I could make a case for the Gunner, but he's honestly more at home in the over-powered department, as I fell you could get through most of the game with one Gunner alone if used carefully enough.

The controls however, are very easy to comprehend, and almost smooth enough to keep pace with a computer mouse, possibly moreso to the more frequent PS3 players.

All in all, it's a fun enough game, and certainly a good starting game for those looking to get into the RTS genre.… Expand
