It’s far from the only thing they ever did, even delving into Sierra and LucasArts kingdom of point and click adventures with flawed but interesting Kyrandia series, for which I personally always had a soft spot for. Westwood Studios created Real Time Strategy as we know it.

Anyway, I just wanted to take a look at how the series evolved in style and story, with few mentions of gameplay, through its 3 separate sub-series with One Vision, One Purpose. And for a while I planned to revisit one of the most influential and creative franchises that are no longer with us, because EA. Yet, there are several franchises that I love, even if I play on easiest difficulties or outright cheat while playing them, just for the sake of their stories, their worlds, the music the style and everything that isn’t gameplay I just fail to be interested in.

People who read me for a while now know that I tend to preface my strategy game post with clearly outlining that I absolutely irredeemably suck at those. O tempora is a series of retrospective posts where I play games from ages before to see if they stood the test of time.
