Reviews - Nalvarro

I'm reviewing the beta 0.96 here, as of the time of writing the full release was not done yet. The mod already is an absolute marvel and really conveys the spirit of the first Red Alert to the 3D gameplay of Generals. Though still a beta, it already seems well balanced in skirmishes and the two available missions are fantastic and left me longing for more. Just like with Tiberium Dawn Redux, actual new or remade campaign missions are by far my favorite part of the mod(s).

The graphics look stunning and barely like C&C Generals anymore (a 20 year old game which really cannot be compared to a Red Alert 3 mod or a remake done only a year ago by a paid game dev studio); so many new effects, shaders, textures, objects etc. Also a short thank you to sgtmyers & team for releasing the whole graphic update pack for the regular Generals as well, creating an amazing graphic update for the beloved C&C Generals as a byproduct.

Last but not least I want to highlight how smart and challenging the AI already is, compared to the originals (both generals and red alert). Even on lower difficulty levels the AI acts way more feasible and knows how to pack a punch, while not making the easy setting too hard for newcomers.

All in all TDRX was my most favorite mod of all times across all games I've played, and now RARX strongly positions itself to be the successor I've waited for so long. Thanks to everyone involved, thanks for reading my review and see you on the battlefield, Commander! :)
