    You’ll enjoy Mytran Wars, given time and an understanding of the battle mechanics. It’s got something others in the genre don’t – a feeling you’re playing a game of skill.

    This sci-fi hybrid is something special. [May 2009, p.76]

    Mytran Wars doesn't stand out for its originality, but with no doubt it's a remarkable strategy game with an interesting number of gameplay options and a more than good technical part. Moreover, event the most demanding strategy fan will like its huge extension, tight difficulty and juicy multiplayer mode.

    This game will satisfy the wishes of strategy fans, but isn’t able to recruit new folks for the genre. The concept of the game isn’t innovative enough to fascinate.

    A rich, deep and insanely customisable world of strategy action awaits those brave enough to take on its steep learning curve and string of battles where a single mistake can lead to defeat. [May 2009, p.131]

    No boundaries are pushed, but no crippling mistakes are made. Still, I say we abandon the status quo and further distinguish Western games from their brightly-colored Eastern counterparts. For mechs, I prefer rust to shine, and crude oil to cold fusion.

    If the fate of most badly designed games is to suffer an excruciatingly slow end by falling on their own swords, Mytran Wars is so awful it doesn't have a sword with which to end it all, and it is instead forced to starve to death.
