Critic Reviews for Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is a deep, exciting, varied RTS with all the right tools.
A great tactical RTS with all the gorgeous aesthetics and atmosphere of the original series.
Blackbird Interactive crafts a worthy successor to the Homeworld classics, although it can lack a spark of its own.
This is the definition of a real-time strategy game for real-time strategy game fans, and will satisfy those looking for a solid single-player RTS experience
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is interesting enough but feels a bit empty
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is a prequel to the famed Homeworld Strategy series. It follows its inspirations closely, but adds its own touches to create something new and wonderful.
Maybe it's the somewhat featureless terrain of Kharak, the simplified, streamlined interface and missions or the slightly shallow multiplayer modes, but there is a real sense that Deserts of Kharak is a throwback to a much earlier RTS style of game.
An interesting enough take on the genre that's let down by boring looks and frustrating little niggles.
