PERIMETER: Legate Edition

PERIMETER: Legate Edition is a real time strategy game involving base building. Players can build up their bases in a unique environment that allows them to completely alter the landscape. Players can terraform the world, destroy the parts they don’t like, and move things around in an extremely flexible manner. This also means that players won’t just find a place to build their base that is perfect and ready to go. Rather than snap in a building on a pre-made space, players will have to use equipment to make a space suitable for a base.

Reasonable Graphics

PERIMETER: Legate Edition has average graphics for an RTS. While they’re not crisp and sharp like some 3D games, they’re not terrible either. The terrain changes depending on where the player is, with a good bit of variety, but there’s not a lot of detail in each type of terrain.

Players can expect to see ice with some rocks in snowy areas, a reddish color for desert areas, and green lumpy hills for grassy knolls. The equipment is a little more detailed, similar to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 in quality.

Multiple Ways to Play

There’s no reason to be nice in this game. Both elicit methods of winning the war and fair options are available. What ever you choose though, you’ll still need to pull out all the stops to win the war. The other side isn’t going to roll over and simply let you win because it is a game.

On top of the options in style, players can also choose between several modes of gameplay. This includes an enormous number of missions, single player mode and a fully supported multi-player mode.

Missions included, you get a generous 50 hours of gameplay all together, and some DLC has been included in this updated version of the game. All these gameplay options mean that no matter what your typical gameplay style is, you’ll find something that matches you in the game.

Improved English

PERIMETER: Legate Edition was originally for the Russian market, with a truncated English translation available. In this updated version of the game, players receive the full Russian version with subtitles—but no voice over. Players can still opt to play the original shortened version if they prefer the voiceover, but subtitles only gives them more content.

The Legate edition of Perimeter also includes performance updates, support for custom mods, and more balance to gameplay. If you played the original and noticed a problem with gameplay, these updates may have fixed those problems.

Pros:

• Clearer translation of a beloved original
• 50 hours of gameplay
• Multiplayer makes the game very replayable

Cons:

• No voice over for extended English edition
