It is the resource drop off point, the barracks, the research center, and more.
In Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, unlike in most other RTS but in keeping with the Homeworld spirit, the Carrier is the center and mother to the player’s entire operation. It is here, of course, that the similarities end, and of course the comparison could also be made to the original Homeworld as well, whose plot is driven along similar lines. In both games, the players are tasked to care for not just an army, but a population that travels across a barren waste in search of a semi-mystical and vaguely defined salvation. In place of the iconic Mothership of the first two Homeworld games is the Carrier, a massive ground crawler that actually reminded me somewhat of the crawler from Skyshine’s Bedlam, the turn-based tactical journey game that released last year. And while this seems to be risky, even perhaps foolish, at first, I think I am not mistaken in stating that it actually works surprisingly well overall. Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is an RTS which has the dubious honor of taking the Homeworld series out of space and onto the ground… the barren ground of a planetwide desert, no less. Any recommendations I make about the game in this review come with caveats.įor this article, Deserts of Kharak was purchased by Wayward Strategy staff at retail price, and was not provided by Blackbird Interactive or Gearbox. It is my goal to simply provide for you a fair and balanced look at this title, and allow you to draw your own conclusions.
Note: while this is intended to be a comprehensive analysis of the game Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, it is not the policy of Wayward Strategy to review games, as such. The diverse nature of gamers in general and RTS enthusiasts in particular make it feel presumptuous for me to tell you how to spend your money.
Without further ado, here are my thoughts regarding Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. I’m now back with tons more gameplay and ladder losses under my belt, and feel more prepared to weigh in on the details of this title. The content of that article was derived solely from my experiences in the tutorial and the first several missions of the campaign: hopefully valuable information to some of you, but by necessity incomplete in capturing the whole player experience when playing this game. Not too long ago, I took a quick look at freshly-minted RTS Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, the mobile-base, ground based Homeworld prequel.
