It's... yeah, the basics are very similar! It has the horrible interface you'd expect from a 1997 RTS release, but the very basics are all there.
I would say the relationship of PA to TA is very much like the relationship of SC2 to SC1, IF:
1. SC2 had spent less time on graphics.
2. SC2 had added any major game mechanics to the series/genre.
PA's addition of the orbital/solar system stuff is an amazing, and (for me, at this point) bewildering addition which differentiates it enough from its predecessor (and indeed, most if not all other RTSes) that nobody could ever just accuse it of being "TA with modern graphics/interface".
PA is also a little rough around the edges/unfinished. It's been "released", but it's certainly not "done". So at this point think of it more like a beta, but a damn good one. |
