Larry Bond'S Harpoon Commander'S Edition Upgrade From 1989
It can take hours to even make any meaningful contact with the enemy, but watching the battle unfold little bit by little bit is immensely rewarding.Though the game hasn't had much of a visual upgrade from 1989, that also works in its favour. For obvious reasons, then, this is not a game of fast gratification. You can speed the game up, but when you're controlling a vast fleet, that's a recipie for tactical disaster.
Given even the basics strategy can take years to perfect (especially when you're working with the unique quirks of nearly 3000 different types of units), and the fact there are no fewer than 269 senarios in the game, Harpoon is a massive package, and well worth the purchase price.It was a pleasant surprise to find that Harpoon was still around, and still being worked on. Real military tactics are required for victory. It'll take some adjusting and time for others to find the charm in the game, but within a few scenarios, you'll know whether you belong to the small niche that will see the brilliance behind the facade.This is about as spectacular the functional visuals getSee, while Starcraft at time feels more like a competition to click the fastest, and while Total War games feel like an elegant modern day chess, Harpoon is the real strategic deal. There's no music, and just the occasional sound effect.Really, if you've ever played a counter-based board game, like those produced by GMT Games, you'll be right at home. The units, coloured blue or red, look like counters on a grand map of the world's oceans.
