*Note: At the time of writing this review, Deadlock 2 does not run on Windows 8. Only buy if you run Windows 7 or lower.*

This game is awesome. Just plain awesome. I must have played 1000 hours of this in middle school and high school.

It's not terribly complex, but its complex enough that it doesn't feel simple either. It's an expand and conquest game, similar to Civ and other turn based strategy games. Where Deadlock shines so brightly, though, is in its charm.

Each of the alien races is a delight. The have a huge array of custom taunts, praises, cowers, and insults which they occasionally lob throughout the game. The races are all unique and don't feel repetetive at all. Even after almost 20 years since playing it regularly, this game sticks in my memory as one of the best I have ever played.

I was so glad to see it here on Steam, so I picked it up immediately. I look forward once again to long LAN parties and crushing my enemies with Tarth troopers!

I never played Shrine Wars till just a week ago but the orginal Deadlock was one of my favoirt games of all time. I'm still learning and relearning Deadlock II I can already tell it has a lot more features I wasn't expecting like being able to build on water now.

All and all it a classic and I think anyone who likes colony space strategy builders should give it a try.


It does take a bit of a learning curv to learn and mico order all your units though so be aware of that. It offers mulit player I can play with people in my same State but haveing problems playing with my steam friends maybe somone can figure that out for us.
