38 of 38 · most liked firstI'd recommend it if you're after an oldschool RTS and your expectations aren't too high. It also has cards, so at less than $1, how can you refuse?! Starting with the bad: There's no voice dialogue, not even for unit selection, instead selecting infantry you just hear a gun cocking sound, but dying soldiers do at-least have a death sound. The cutscenes camera movement is jerky as hell. There's no vsync ingame and even trying to force it on doesn't seem to work. Others seem unable to launch the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chronostorm: Siberian Border Review Okay, let's start off with that I'm a fan of the rts gaming myself, and to see this on Steam is quite odd. Odd as in: This game is weird on all fronts. But is it a good game? My response: Ehhhenehe.... Gameplay: I'm not stranger to rts gameplay that originally started off from Westwood's very own: Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis, and of course the Command and Conquer series as well. So the gameplay is simluar to that...Except this: The gameplay feels jerky.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game won't start. I use windows 7. Tried verifying game cache, tried reinstalling, updating graphic drivers, tried running as administrator, tried running in comparability mode, game just won't start. tried contacting steam support and they referred me to a Russian website. Can't read it, google translate isn't helping, so yeah, save a dollar kids! @reality_emulator: I tried running the game from the bin folder when I attempted to run as administrator. It didn't work. @狡猾的狐狸: Never said the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nah, don't waste your time. Yes, the setting is interesting (China vs Russia), the visuals are nice, it has Steam trading cards and the price is cheap, but the gameplay is frustrating, confusing and buggy. If you want to see how the story goes, I would suggest to just watch a YouTube Let's Play, but good luck finding a good one - not many out there. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3241525087 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3146044962
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found that the camera jerked around almost everytime i moved troops. The story was not interesting.IF you are looking for an old RTS game GET ACT OF WAR!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warning: Broken Game! This game has design/implementation defects that will render this unplayable for many gamers. The game crashes immediately on launch if any modern gaming resolutions are chosen. Chronostorm: Siberian Border is an ancient game from 2009. It's a whopping 15 years old at the time of this review. If you can get this to work, you'll find the game lacks support for the typical features of modern gaming PCs, hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on contemporary…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It crashed after I changed the resolution and didn't work ever again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →decent game, from 09, and for a dollar, you get what you expect if you enjoyed older RTS games like RA1/2 and the earlyer rts style strat games, this game isnt that bad
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game isnt bad, I actually liked it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty bad game if you ask me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it but it so hard to play. -_-
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clunky and outdated
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love rts' but the game was just a pain to play, it was jerky (the camera jerked around as you moved) and it was hard following the story, commands etc
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried saving the future. Forgot where I left my tea. Time loops, but my thermos stays empty. Still charmingly chaotic.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →again face of Putin in the background.. again.. russian flags... and all russian.. ♥♥♥♥♥.. of course! its ♥♥♥♥-cheap games from $0.79.. what to expect..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am at a loss for a description, just horrible. Starts with a bunch of text you have to read, come on this is not 1990 or is that when this was made? It then follows with showing you a few basic things like selecting your unit and then it leaves you on your own wondering what do I do and how do I do it? I quit after 10 minutes of walking in circles trying to figure it out, only learning on my own how to get an income. I will have to come back to it another time. Not at all what I expected...…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, this is a very cheap game... which is good. Because the gameplay is a bit wonky and confusing. Frankly, the only good parts for this game is the low price, and the Trading Cards it drops...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There were many great games released in 2009, this was not one of them. I would imagine that in 2009 it costed more than $0.99 and I am sorry to those who purchased it for that much. It has its moments and at this price one could recommend it if the basics were intact, like snappy responses from building and unit selection or commands. Check out some gameplay to see if this game has what you are looking for. I suggest finding an old copy of RA2. https://youtu.be/PMJa3wP9FQw
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Had it over a year... still play it sometimes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay......What can I say about this game? Boy it was bad. Not good but bad bad. Can't really feel it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Game 11/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chronostorm: Siberian Border is a real-time strategy title developed by Ulysses Games and published by ESDigital Games that attempts to blend traditional RTS mechanics with a speculative science-fiction twist. Originally released in 2009 and later brought to Steam, the game situates players in a near-future military conflict centered on Russia’s eastern territories. The premise revolves around escalating geopolitical tensions and the discovery of experimental time-manipulation technology that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if crash when open, find Chronostorm.exe and set compatibilty to windows XP sp2, it works for me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For its price you really can have quite a bit of fun with it. The game is barebones. There is no voiced dialogue except grunting of soldiers. The AI is very weird. The missions and story are interesting though. There are some mechanics that are really the main reason why this game was made. It seems that the developers were inspired by Command & Conquer a lot and decided to use that for in-game mechanics. You can call units from the past or future to assist you in fighting the enemy. A very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game crashes all the time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its neither good or bad just has some performance issues and like why did this game get instantly get abandoned by the devs there was some potencial in it and now its wasted
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended for game farming
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keeps crashing, more than my life.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Command bar has 0 information, units dont always take commands and lacks in diversity and game manipulation! i give the game a 2 out of 10 .
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game but can have problems with starting up but its cheap and fun so ill recomend it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →low quality, not easy to figure it out, mission infos are not enough, bad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: Tactical Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Broken. Crashes on launch. Win10 64bit. Ryzen+Polaris. Tried reinstalling from scratch. Did not work. Not worth troubleshooting further.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has steam trading cards. On my win 8.1 box it constantly froze. This game might be good on a different OS but I could not get it to work well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →oh my god the lag! don't buy it, unbearable lag, other than that pretty decent modern strategy game, but the lag is really making this one almost unplayable. avoid. ps. but you can make most of your money back thanks to trading cards so hey, there is that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i actually like it, and it is on sale right now for being .49 cents
