I haven’t played in a long time, but I recall the story being good. The mechanics though were just so top notch! Great squad controls, not too much micro, vehicles feel really impactful, the nature of control point capture means every skirmish is very dynamic. Ah, what a classic!

holy shit i was playing the fuck out of supreme commander 1; never heard of the game, only played it because it came with my new GPU for free. i had been waiting for starcraft 2 for years and years and when it finally came out i was like wow…supreme commander was better…

If you liked SupCom and want to recapture the magic, do check out Zero-K! It’s free (like actually, no weird micro-transactions) and open source (though buried a bit on the site) It’s based on SpringRTS, which is great to see something cool being done with Spring!
