    I spent most of my childhood playing this game. Back then, I didn’t even know what strategy meant, yet I loved the challenge it gave me and I enjoyed every moment of it. Coming back to it now brings back so many memories, my late uncle reading the newspaper while I played this game during every school holiday. No responsibilities, zero stress… those were my golden years. I only had the demo which I got from a magazine CD (EFY) my late uncle got it for me. RIP, I miss you so much, now I can…

    My childhood video game. I love it—it brings back so many memories of playing with my older sister. I had the demo version on a CD from a magazine back then, and now I can replay this masterpiece in its full version, remastered (with upgraded graphics for modern resolutions and some quality of life improvements), while maintaining the original essence of the game. Now I can get a heavy tank without having to betray our allies by using a Dominator on one of their units in the tutorial. 10/10

    This game is simply one of the legends of the RTS world, comparable to Age of Empires and better than Starcraft. Don't miss the chance to buy it and experience a piece of history. It features two Civs, Humans and Robots, and three campaigns with a decent story. It’s even possible to steal the enemy's construction unit and play with both civs simultaneously. Please note that this review and its comparisons are based on games from that era. Pros: Ability system: Much more dynamic than…

    First of all, YOU DEVS ARE STILL ALIVE HOLY THIS TIMELINE IS GREAT I've played a lot of RTS titles as a kid, but nothing has ever topped this as my absolute favorite. I lost the installation CD decades ago, but I found the old version as abandonware and managed to make it work on a modern system. Of course, running an old game on a faster system always comes with a plethora of problems, but I was more than happy to be able to play Outlive again. When I found out this game recently got a…

    I used to play Outlive when it came out, and then on and off casually since. It's just one of those games you keep coming back to. It has some interesting mechanics (electricity, unit maintenance, ICBMs, spying etc.), some funny characters and voice acting (especially in the original Brazilian Portuguese), and is decently challenging. The remaster is exactly what I was hoping it would be, it breathes new life into the game and makes it easily accessible without taking away from its roots.…

    While this is the same great game we played 25 years ago but prettier, there's some extremely basic QOL features missing: - WASD needs to move the camera - Need an option to not scroll on screen edge (but needs the above feature first) - Could use some basic speed shortcuts to decrease/increase speed - And oh the humanity, remove the "Game Paused" and "Game Resumed" voice over These should take no time at all to implement in 2026. I'm not going to ask for a refund yet, as I believe these will…

    Beautiful touch-up of a humble classic. Getting to play it so smoothly and without hoops on a modern computer is a treat, and it's just the mixture of complex and straightforward that made it fun from the start. Definitely worth the money - and it was definitely worth the wait.

    I loved this game as a kid. I remember playing the demo, and from then on, I was hooked! It is such a shame that even many people in Curitiba — where Continuum Entertainment, Outlive’s creator, was headquartered — do not even know about this game. I have an online friend that loves PC games and has lived his whole life in Curitiba, yet had never even heard of Outlive before I mentioned it to him. I have been playing the original for years using a ReactOS virtual machine. This is far from a…

    If you told someone this is one of the best RTS ever made and then played the unit voice lines for English they would never take you seriously, but this is genuinely one of the best strategy games I've ever played. Outlive was obscure for the longest time, so I am glad its got a remaster. Most of you missed out on this gem, buy it!

    It's very cheap and has a feature set comparable to Starcraft. And you can play it in co-op just about seamlessly. It's fun just for that. Need more co-op RTS games. Seems like something that makes perfect sense, why not build up your base and forces with multiple people at once? My only complaint is the godawful english unit voices. Please record some new ones and make it a 3rd voice option. The English voices don't match up with the intent of the Portuguese ones. They are all really…

    After many years of its release, I still love this game to the core. Thank you for bringing it here. It's a basic RTS with some extra mechanics like unit maintenance. You can improve units through research, can minmax with mine purity and type (iron / uranium) if you're a gremlin. Overall it's still pretty fun and worth trying. I wish a lovely day to all of you and fun for the players.

    Outlive 25, developed by Continuum Entertainment and published by CriticalLeap, is a modernized return to classic real-time strategy design that stays remarkably faithful to its origins while polishing enough of the experience to make it approachable for today’s audience. Rather than reinventing the genre, it embraces the structure that defined early RTS games, focusing on base building, resource management, and large-scale tactical combat. The result is a game that feels both nostalgic and…

    Many years ago, I used to have the CD of the original game. It was really fun and this game keeps all the fun I had, the visuals surprisingly ran well on my 3840x1600 resolution, though it didn't work fully intended as ultrawide, still the image was sharp enough which was good enough for me. F1 in-game has the game overall commands and the minus and plus of the keyboard can increase game speed, you can also do it manually through the menu.

    A successful remake of a real-time strategy game of the 2000s. The resolution is bumped to 4k, the textures are reworked to crisp sharpness, and the AI is quite challenging. Path finding works great. You get to play as either humans or robots. It has a campaign which it quite tough to beat. The plot is three factions the rebels, the military and the robot company struggle between them for control.

    Sorry but im asking steam to refund the game since the old main problem of the single player campaign still exist in this remake : the need to kill every single enemy units in most of the mission as requirement to win the game. It getting old pretty fast. If only the devs capable to modify the winning condition. But i glad now all the campaign already available in the beginning without the need to follow the narrative. Perhaps i will revisit this title in the future.

    It was good to revisit this old game - played it a lot back in a day. Some say it's a "Starcraft clone", but it sounds strange. It clearly was influenced by Starcraft, but it's a different game: 1. Economics is totally different: in Starcraft, resources are limited and basically you just convert them directly to your army, and this army is yours until it die. In Outlive, resources are kinda unlimited - the sources deteriorate over time, but never deplete. At the same time, you don't just buy…

    Although this RTS is very old and from a developer most people have never heard of it's amazingly modern in many ways. The computer will use focus fire and retargeting as though it were an actual human opponent, something only found in RTS games from recent times. The campaign is challenging and there's some good asymmetry between the factions. Amazing!
