Gamer's Hell May 6, 2024
It is simply one of the best handling RTS games that I’ve ever played, and I played just about all of them.

One good thing is that players will face little to no slow down even with a huge battle going on in the middle of the screen.

Unfortunately, Exigo comes from the big book of fantasy strategy clichés and does not bring anything new to the genre.Still, it is a well done real-time strategy and definitely worth its price.

With great looks, a clever multi-layer mechanic, and well devised sides, one wonders why Electronic Arts would release a game this good at a time this bad.

The game's saving graces are its graphics and well-balanced races, and if you crave long backbreaking campaigns, you'll find plenty to keep you occupied here, but it's too bad that Black Hole couldn't have fleshed out the game's embryonic innovations to deliver something more daring and less imitative.

Exigo's multileveled gameplay is a good first step in an interesting direction, but unfortunately, that's not always enough to compete in the brutally competitive RTS genre. With more tweaking, Armies of Exigo could definitely give Blizzard a run for its money.

The super-group function and solo campaign level designs are particularly awesome.

Calling it an homage, an interpretation, a clone, or even a rip-off doesn't change the fact that it's a damn fine game.

Worth Playing May 6, 2024
The most disappointing thing about Exigo is that the gameplay just isn’t all that exiting. Everything looks nice and is well-balanced, but there’s little here that hasn’t been done before.

Strategy fans will be more tolerant of the difficulty and may enjoy the chance to return to the roots of RTS gameplay without putting up with 1990s graphics.

Gaming Age May 6, 2024
It is easy to pick up and play, it is gorgeous, and it provides a few new elements yet seen by fans of RTS games.

Gaming Nexus May 6, 2024
Seems to take too much from too many other real-time strategy games, and fails to capitalize and to create its own niche.

Armchair Empire May 6, 2024
Even the interface is out of the olden days.

PC Gamer May 6, 2024
Seems more like a cosmetic upgrade to a game we played to death two years ago rather than a truly new experience.

PC Format May 6, 2024
With so much effort put into Being Whatevercraft, it's a real shame that a bit more time wasn't spent on really trying to surpass it, rather than just being a solid game that's as ultimately memorable as a disembowel movement.

PC Gameworld May 6, 2024
It's not a classic of the genre, but it gets the job done and has outstanding graphics and animation work.
71
WHAM! Gaming May 6, 2024
If you think you’d enjoy playing an RTS you played 4 years ago, but with wickedly updated graphics/sound/cut scenes and with a dual layered map, then by all means pick up.

IGN May 6, 2024
This is definitely a game aimed at the hardcore, old school crowd. Newcomers to the real-time strategy genre will find that the campaign is difficult to the point of near total aggravation.

AceGamez May 6, 2024
It's not the deepest strategy game ever made, but it does provide a few hours of lightweight strategic fun here and there, even if most of what it does has been done better elsewhere.

GameSpot May 6, 2024
The gameplay is very much like that of the earliest real-time strategy games. This is a traditional RTS that seemingly ignores all the advances that the genre has experienced over the past several years.
