The first time I played this game was in 1997, it's one of the first games I've ever played on PC. I've played this game for countless hours! I can tell you that at first I had no idea how to play this game properly, it took me a while to even realize how to end my turn! This game might be quite complex at first but you get the hang of it pretty fast. You can always check the ingame manual for help if needed.

Ok, to the review, keep in mind that to play this game properly on Windows 7 and Windows 10 (I've tested both), you have to delete the file "WAIL32.DLL" in the Deadlock Planetary Conquest folder which generally is in "Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Deadlock" (It can be different if you choose a different installation path, but the "/Steam/" path is the same). If you don't do this, after the intro, the game crashes.

I gotta tell you that for some reason, I don't have music ingame. At first I thought "Hey maybe it's my Windows 10 laptop, it's so new", so I tried it on an old 2006 Windows 7 laptop (Actually it's antique for today standards, but hey it still works pretty good xD), but no, still no music after the intro. Maybe it's because I tested it on laptops, they don't have dedicated sound cards, or older hardware is needed, I don't know.

The soundtrack is quite nostalgic, anyone here remember the song "Son, be a colonist"? xD

Anyway, in my opnion it's not game breaking. So yes, I recomend this game to every strategy fan out there.
