Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance
BANGER · Strategy · 2011
A lot of game for the money: about 18h, $12.99 (~$0.72/hr), 97% positive.
The verdict
Already a BANGER at $12.99.
Buy it. The price is already a steal.
$0.72/hr over the 18h main story, $0.41/hr if you 100% it (31.8h).
Better value than 100% of Strategy games
The last days of man are at hand.. Two years after the Infinite War the once great warring nations now lie in ruins, and humanity’s hope for a brighter future is nothing but a bitter memory. A new, seemingly unstoppable enemy, supported by the zealots of The Order, now seeks to eradicate mankind: UEF, Aeon Loyalist, and Cybran alike.
